LabVIEW across different platforms

[ISIS]

I am developing/supporting a suite of software which is used by the scientific community on different platforms eg. Windows, Linux, Unix, Macintosh. I would like to maintain the code so that it can be run and edited on all of these operating systems as the customer base is so varied. However, there are some software technologies that can not be used on all operating systems e.g. ActiveX is Windows specific, Datasocket is a fantastic tool, however, I am unsure whether it is valid for all operating systems.

My question is : Is there any information available outlining which standard LabVIEW Vi's/ constants/ references/ attribute nodes/ data types are available on which operating system and which development package - also whether there are any differences in the vi execution eg casting, flattening to string)

Regards,

OIS

PS. NI - it would be great if this sort of info was made available in the help files for each vi (along with any differences)

As far as I know, anything that is pure G (property nodes, references, VI server) and so on should work the same on all platforms (but I never tried it).

You can find some data on this by going to Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf.

Try reading the data storage white paper and the porting and localizing white paper.
