Version Upgrading -- Compatibility between Labview - Veristand - Teststand - Linux RT

[Pianne]

Hi.

Background:
We are currently running 'Labview 2018 SP1 f4', 'Veristand 2018 SP1' and 'Teststand 2017 SP1' in combination with "NI Real-Time Phar Lap ETS 13.1" on PXIe8840 RT targets in our testlab dyno setups.

For a new project, we require the "Vehicle Communication Toolkit" to impement Autosar E2E protection protocols for CAN communication.According to the requirements page ( https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/vehicle-communication-toolkit/page/vcom-requirements.html ), the Toolkit requires "NI Linux® Real-Time (2022 Q3 system image)".

On the 'Read Me'-page of "NI Linux RT System Image 2022 Q3" (https://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/ni-linux-rt-system-image-2022-q3.html), under system requirements, it states "Labview 2019 and later". This means we'll need to update our Labview versions as well. And subsequntly also Veristand and teststand, right?

Problem:

Naturally I want to update to the latest possible version(s), so we're good for another couple of years. But it seems that there are some compatibility issues...

So it's not as easy as simply going for the latest Labview version (2023) because it isn't compatible with Teststand. And then there's Veristand as well.
I've searched ni.com but couldn't come up with a definitive answer as to which versions of Labview, Veristand, Teststand and 'NI Linux RT Sytem Image' I need to download and install.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Best regards,
PJ.

TestStand 2022 Q4 is compatible with LabVIEW 2023 Q1. It's what NI delivers as the 2023 Q1 Pro platform. https://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/test-workflow-pro-2023-q1.html

I realize the TestStand/LabVIEW Compatability page has not been updated to say this though: https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/documentation/compatibility/18/teststand-compatibility-with-labview...

Thank you, @StockHouse. that makes things a bit easier.
We'll put together a system with LV2023Q1 + TS2022Q4 and VS2023Q2 to play with, before committing to upgrading all our test rigs.
