Python 3 compatibility with labview programs

[ED_123]

Hello, I have a question regarding the compatibility of Python3 with a control program created with labview:

Basically we have a vacuum chamber with several motors and gauges controlled by a labview program in Windows 10, I was wondering If I am able to install Python 3 in this machine to run non driver related scripts without interfering with the labview control program?

Thank you for your time!

hi ed,

running labview and python2/3 side-by-side should be no problem at all.

especially when you don't try to control the same hardware with both programs at the same time 😉

As long as both programs don't use too much resources it should be OK.

When Python (or LV) starts using a lot of CPU, memory, network or disk bandwidth, they might obviously interfere.
