Hi @Muzz, and welcome! This page talks about the issue of font difference, and gives you a visual comparison: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/92A4978076B4969586257D27004C3529 I have made one embedded UI which is meant to used on both the cRIO and a PC. I simply made sure that the fonts fit on the cRIO's UI. This ensures that they will fit on the PC's UI too, because the PC produces smaller fonts.

LabVIEW is not dead yet but it definitely feels like it's getting ready to move to retirement community. I am skeptical that the redesign that comes out in the future will do anything to reverse the trend. I also just think that the closed and proprietary nature of LabVIEW will grow into a heavier and heavier millstone around its neck. You can argue all you want about how in certain situations LabVIEW can save money by reducing development time and increasing productivity. The thing is IME people don't think in those terms. However irrational it is, in my experience it seems that people would rather spend man-hours than dollars, as the man-hours are already paid for and more or less "free" from the manager's point of view. LabVIEW will hang on in certain niches and legacy systems but the dream of "LabVIEW everywhere" to me seems dead.

Thank you for this it looks like some good tidbits are in there. I would say it is slathered in marketing BS. Sadly marketing has stuck its fat ugly hand into LabVIEW very deeply and we'll need some sort of proctologist to remove it.

Here are new topic stats for LAVA since 2009: New post stats of the same period. The dips at the beginning of every year is the Christmas break and New Years. Perhaps the groups served by LAVA are shrinking?
