There are specific versions of Vision Builder AI that will work only with specific versions of the LabVIEW Real-Time software on a real-time target. This is because Vision Builder AI was created using the LabVIEW environment and built into an executable.  Like other executables created for real-time targets, each version of VBAI requires you to install on the real-time target the run-time engines and software modules that were used to build that particular version of VBAI.

This is especially important when using the Run LabVIEW VI step in VBAI. You should make sure that you are using compatible versions of the LabVIEW Real-Time software and the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine in order to use that LabVIEW VI. This compatibility also applies when using the Run LabVIEW VI step in a VBAI Inspection on a regular target.

If the VI is saved in an earlier version of LabVIEW than Vision Builder AI supports, the Run LabVIEW VI step must update the VI. If the VI is saved in a later version of LabVIEW than Vison Builder AI supports, you must save the VI for a previous LabVIEW version that is compatible.  Refer to the LabVIEW Help for more information about saving for a previous version.

Vision Builder AI also supports the LabVIEW development environment and ships with an API to allow customers to run Vision Builder AI inspections from LabVIEW.

Refer to the following table to get more information on versions of LabVIEW supporting the Vision Builder AI API as well as Run LabVIEW VI Step (in VBAI) and LabVIEW Compatibility. Download the .xlsx at the bottom of the page for information prior to 2012.

Note: For VAS compatibility, if you are using a version of VBAI after a HW release and your version of VAS supports that HW then VAS and VBAI are compatible.
