Power Supply Tester

[prvtmg]

Hi , 

We need to develop a new power supply Tester software in LabVIEW. We are currently using LabVIEW 8.6 software for our tester and we would like to redesign the whole algorithm. Which Version of labVIEW is best suited for this purpose as of now?  We also want to include a Report generation toolkit and PXI . It would be helpful if anyone call tell me the cost as well. 

Thanks,

So you now want to replace the equipment you listed at

LabVIEW 2014 was just released.

No I dont want to replace the equipments I listed there. I wanted to redesign the existing software which we are using. So are you suggesting Labview 2014 for our purpose regarding both testing,PXI instruments and Report Generation?

Thanks

Using PXI implies new test equipment. PXI is a whole new platform.

Personally, I don't see much need for the report generation toolkit but if you see a need to directly manipulate word or excel, the it would save you some time.

Any version, even your current one is perfectly capable of controlling instruments. If you do plan on upgrading, might as well get the latest.

Are you planning to upgrade to an os supported by Microsoft or LabVIEW?
