Is the Intel I340-T4 Ethernet card compatible with LabView 8.6?

[CivaGraeme]

We are currently looking in to having our LabView program process the output of two Allied Vision cameras, run through a PCI GigE card.

On our old machine (32-bit Vista), we have a PRO/1000 PT Quad working just fine with the LabView interface - and we want to upgrade to a better PC with 64-bit Win 7.

We are under the impression that PRO/1000 PT is not compatible with Win 7, and were looking into either I340 quad-port adapters:

Does anyone have any insight as to the compatibilities of the Intel 82580 controllers with LabView 8.6?

Hi Civa,

Scott here from AVT technical support.   You are correct re. that PT card not being Win7 compatible.  Here's a link to our current recommendations for NICs and switches.

If it's NOT in that list, it doesn't mean it won't work, merely that we haven't tested it and do not know.  We do not attempt to test every 3rd party product on the market.

And our testing is typical with AVT SDKs not with Labview, though there are thousands of joint AVT / NI customers, and we'd have heard by now if there were any conflicts, I am confident.

Regards,

Scott

Also keep in mind that LabVIEW 8.6 is not officially suported under Windows 7: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B972242574D4BB99862575A7007520CB
