Application Builder is an optional extra on LabVIEW. It allows developers to distribute installable, compiled versions of their control panel applications. The install package comprises two files: SETUP.EXE and DATA.001 .
The installation proceeds in 2 stages: the application specific software first, then the LabVEIEW Runtime Engine.
We have had no difficulty in installing these packages on Ubuntu systems, via the CrossOver Software Installer.
The applications run faultlessly from a functional point of view. We are using (among other facilities) serial comms ports, system timers, and pop-up modal panels on touch-screen computers.
The only problems we have found are minor rendering issues: (a) when scrolling screens, minor artifacts appear at the edges of scrolled areas and (b) sunken area decorations disappear on CrossOver screens. Screens take significantly longer to paint on CrossOver than on a Windows computer.
These minor rendering issues are why we rated this application Silver rather than Gold.
