VeriStand LabVIEW Modeling and Legacy Simulink Modeling Version Compatibility
Overview
This page shows supported versions of VeriStand with LabVIEW, Windows, target-specific compilation tools, and The MathWorks, Inc. development systems. Reference this information to ensure you install the correct toolkit version when upgrading or updating your system or software. Using incompatible versions may result in errors, or missing palettes or functions.
As of VeriStand 2021, there is a new toolbox to support compiling MathWorks Simulink® models. Please refer to the download page for the VeriStand Model Generation Support toolbox to understand compatibility. The toolbox includes documentation covering getting started and known limitations. Notably, the 1.0 release of the toolbox does not support the use of buses as imports, outports, or parameters.
Note: For older versions of VeriStand that are not listed in the tables below, please use the download available at the bottom of the page.

NOTE: NI is not currently planning on supporting conversion of desktop PCs to NI Linux Real-Time targets. Conversion of desktop PCs to Phar Lap ETS targets is supported. However, NI will remove support for Phar Lap for cRIO in the NI 2020 Software Release and for PXI in the NI 2022 Software Release. For more information, please see the Phar Lap RT OS EOL Road Map.
