Library and Product Support in the LabWindows/CVI Side-by-Side Runtime
Support for LabWindows/CVI libraries in the LabWindows/CVI Side-by-Side Runtime can be affected by other National Instruments products that can update common components in a LabWindows/CVI library. Not all National Instruments products support side-by-side Runtimes. When binding an executable or DLL to the LabWindows/CVI Side-by-Side Runtime, consider the level of side-by-side support in the following libraries:
LabWindows/CVI Library | Support | Notes |
User Interface | Full | Installing another LabWindows/CVI Runtime or National Instruments product can update the ActiveX container, which is a component used when you have ActiveX controls in user interface panels. |
Formatting I/O | Full | — |
Utility | Full | — |
ANSI C | Full | — |
DDE | Full | — |
TCP | Full | — |
UDP | Full | — |
RS–232 | Full | — |
ActiveX | Full | — |
.NET | Full | — |
Internet | Full | — |
Network Variable | Partial | Installing another National Instruments product can update parts of this library. |
TDM Streaming | Partial | Installing another National Instruments product can update parts of this library. |
Analysis | Partial | Installing another National Instruments product can update parts of this library. |
Programmer's Toolbox | N/A | The Programmer's Toolbox, while not part of the LabWindows/CVI Runtime, is a commonly used instrument driver. Because the Programmer's Toolbox is statically linked to the executable or DLL that you build, the Runtime binding you select for your application extends to the Programmer's Toolbox. |
Open GL Control | Full | — |
National Instrument Driver and Toolkit Libraries | Not supported | Driver libraries that other National Instruments products install, including the libraries on the National Instruments Device Drivers media, do not support side-by-side Runtime binding. While you can use side-by-side binding options in your application, your application does not use side-by-side versions of these driver libraries. |
