VBAI 2018 - No LabVIEW 2019 VBAI API Support

[Nestarion]

I just downloaded a fresh copy of the VBAI 2018 installer and it lacks support for the Vision Builder API within LabVIEW 2019. Pictured below is the x64 version, but the 32-bit version doesn't have it either.

Is there an estimated time when support will be added? I would love to be using Sets and Maps right now. I know I have the ability to point LabVIEW 2019 to the folder in LabVIEW 2018 containing all of the Vision Builder AI files (or even just copying the vision folder into the LabVIEW 2019\vi.lib\), but I don't see that going well when VBAI 2018 adds API support for LabVIEW 2019 (lots of broken links when the update eventually hits).

VBAI 2018 SP1 recently released and it has support for LV 2019.

You can use new LV 2019 features in LV 2019 and call the VBAI API to run inspections in VBAI 2018 (or earlier if you have it installed) and use those results in LV 2019, but you won't be able to build new LV 2019 features into an LLB that can be called by the Run LabVIEW step in VBAI 2018 since VBAI 2018 only supports LV 2018 LLBs.

Hope this helps,

Brad,
Thanks for pointing out the SP1 release; I obviously missed it.

Hi:

  I've tried more than 10 times to download VBAI 2018 SP1.

  It always fails.

I finally succeed.

But, VBAI2018-SP1  has the same problem , "map defects " cannot mark the defects.
