The development computer is the computer that contains the VeriStand software.

The computer on which you develop a NI VeriStand project might be different from the host computer in the system. To extend the functionality of VeriStand, you might also use the following NI products on the development computer:
  • LabVIEW Development System—If you want to create custom devices, workspace controls/indicators, timing devices, and/or Tools menu utilities, you need the LabVIEW Development System.
  • LabVIEW Real-Time Module—You need this module to use RT functions in custom device VIs.
  • LabVIEW FPGA Module—If you add a National Instruments FPGA target to a project, it must have an associated FPGA bitfile. VeriStand provides FPGA bitfiles for certain FPGA devices. If you want to customize these FPGA bitfiles or create a custom FPGA bitfile for another FPGA target, you need the FPGA Module.
