If I run 32-bit LabVIEW on a 64-bit OS, is there any performance compromise due to WoW64 (Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit), compared to running a 32-bit LabVIEW on a native 32-bit Windows OS? From all that I have read here, it seems the 32-bit version of LabVIEW is more accepted currently and will continue to be so for next 5 years. Supply from labview 2015 help, right click and ni-visa. Refer to the labview installation guide on the labview platform media for installation instructions and system requirements. This pc program was developed to work on windows xp, windows vista, windows 7, windows 8 or windows 10 and is compatible with 32-bit systems.

  2. TGM: synchronise the actions in your application with the accelerator cycles.
  3. RBAC: devices are usually protected by the Role Based Access method. Using RBAC you can use your role to control your device.
  4. SQL: access data from the Logging and Measement databases. Petabytes of data are easily available for mathematical analysis in LabVIEW. Also access any other SQL DB.
  5. eLogBook: add text and attachments directly from LabVIEW into the central eLogBooks (get an eLogBook login first and agree with the responsible of the logbook what you will write).
  6. MTAlib: a selection of Open Source VI's for better window management, more array functions (sort 2-D), delay function with Error-in and Error-out, etc.
  7. PLC: communicate with your PLC by using one of the provided protocols: Libnodave, FetchWrite (or through OPC UA).


The RTE is needed to execute compiled LabVIEW applications.

Each number indicates the compatible LabVIEW version.

For example, if an application was built using LabVIEW 2012 (32 bit on a 64 bit machine), you have to install the 32 bit 2012 runtime engine.

The LabVIEW Instrument Driver Import Wizard has the following known issues:

Labview 32 Vs 64 Bit

  • The LabVIEW Instrument Driver Import Wizard does not work in multi-byte operating systems, such as the Chinese-language version of Windows.
  • If a function panel contains multiple controls with the same error, LabVIEW lists only the first error encountered in the report. Examine function panels with a control error and verify that no other control errors exist in the function panel and the corresponding generated VI.
  • If a .sub file, generated by third-party driver development tools, does not include the help descriptions for all classes and attributes, the LabVIEW Instrument Driver Import Wizard returns an error when converting the file. To resolve this issue, add the help descriptions in the .sub file.

You can access the software and documentation known issues online. Refer to the National Instruments website for the latest known issues in the LabVIEW Instrument Driver Import Wizard.
