LabSocket is available in three versions:
LabSocket for Windows, or simply "LabSocket", is the orginal version of the software that allows browser access to applications on desktop platforms
LabSocket-Embedded or "LabSocket-E", is for use with applications on real-time platforms such as myRIO, sbRIO, FlexRIO, cRIO and others.
LabSocket-E Student and Home Edition is a low-cost version of LabSocket-E that is also compatible with Raspberry Pi 2 and 3 devices and is intended for academic and non-commerical use only.
The following table compares the capabilities and features of each version. All versions of LabSocket are certified as "Compatible with LabVIEW".
