Announcing the LabVIEW 8.6 Platform Beta

[REM1]

Greetings,

You are invited to register for participation in the LabVIEW Platform 8.6 Beta program.

You can register by visiting and selecting "LabVIEW Platform" from the list of beta programs. Please complete the profile questions that will help us understand your experience and use cases with LabVIEW. Make sure you agree to the T&C of the beta program so that you can be approved.

After you register, please be patient for the beta coordinators to process your application. You will be notified when you have been approved. Registration does not necessarily guarantee you a position in the beta program. Determination of acceptance into the program is up to the sole discretion of National Instruments.

We will have a private section of the Discussion Forums on NI Developer's Exchange set up for beta users to discuss the beta version of the LabVIEW Platform 8.6.

You will have noticed that I am referring to this beta program as being for the LabVIEW Platform rather than being for LabVIEW. Let me take a moment to explain what this difference means. For the first time, National Instruments will place LabVIEW and most of its Modules and Toolkits into the same beta program. One registration, one place to file bug reports, one forum, and one beta coordinator sending you emails.

So, exactly what software is planned to be available? Note: not all software will be available during the first beta period.
