LAB.0:
In LabVIEW 32-bit you can use any of the following versions:
  • /COM indicates the 32-bit edition of the ActiveX version
  • /NET indicates the 32-bit edition of the /NET assembly version

The application built using /COM or /NET version runs on any Windows 32 or 64-bit machine.

In LabVIEW 64-bit you can use any of the following versions:

  • /COM/64 indicates the 64-bit edition of the ActiveX version
  • /NET/64 indicates the 64-bit edition of the /NET assembly version

The application built using /COM/64 or /NET/64 version runs on Windows 64-bit machine only. The application built using /COM/64 or /NET/64 version cannot run on Windows 32-bit machine.

If you want to use your application on 32 and 64-bit machines, you can go for:

  • /COM/ANY indicates the 32 and 64-bit editions of the ActiveX versions
  • /NET/ANY indicates the 32 and 64-bit editions of the /NET assembly version

Should I use a 32-bit or 64-bit version of the control?
