Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The development-system edition is important when identifying an installation. NI documents resource-file checks for LabVIEW 5.0 and later: provers.rsc identifies Professional, fullvers.rsc identifies Full, and the absence of both identifies the Base package.

Code Interface Nodes connect compiled code written in conventional programming languages to LabVIEW block diagrams.
LabVIEW 5.x supports multithreading on supported operating systems, including Windows 95 and Windows NT.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

How can I identify a LabVIEW 5 Professional installation?

NI recommends checking the labview\resource directory for LabVIEW 5.0 and later. The presence of provers.rsc, either alone or with fullvers.rsc, identifies the Professional Development System. This check identifies the installed edition, not the contents of this catalog item.

Can LabVIEW 5 integrate external compiled code?

Yes. The contemporary NI Code Interface Reference Manual describes Code Interface Nodes that link compiled external code to a LabVIEW block diagram and exchange data with it.

Does LabVIEW 5 support password-protected VIs?

NI documents VI password protection for LabVIEW 5.0 and later. Keep an unprotected backup in a secure location; NI states that it cannot unlock password-protected code.
