Which Versions of NI-VISA and LabVIEW Are Compatible?

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-VISA
Primary Software Version: 4.3
Primary Software Fixed Version: 4.3
Secondary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>Base Package, LabVIEW Development Systems>>Full Development System, LabVIEW Development Systems>>Professional Development System

Problem:
Which versions of NI-VISA support which versions of the LabVIEW Development System?

Solution:
NI-VISA doesn't change its support of the LabVIEW Development System from version to version. Newer versions of NI-VISA will work with older versions of LabVIEW, because NI-VISA tries to be as backwards compatible as possible for applications and development environments.

Newer versions of LabVIEW may or may not work with older versions of NI-VISA due to valid assumptions made about the VISA specification.  LabVIEW 8.5 requires a NI-VISA version that implements no older than the VISA 3.0 specification, which means it requires NI-VISA 3.0 or later.
