Arduino Labview Student Edition, Limitations?

[solock]

Looking to see if anyone has any specific details on the limitations of NI Labview Student Edition.

Generically looking at programming VI's for my own (hobbyist, ebay sourced ) gpib equipped  test equipment.

Labview pricing is far above the actual equipment, and I'm just learning the systems so the software investment is way out of line with what I can or want to invest.


Student edition has some eligibility limitations, but it appears to support VI's to the level I want to do.

Arduino Student Edition has no eligibility requirements, so that limitation is removed. BUT does it have any other limitations?

Is it Arduino VI's only?

Is it the same Student edition (currently shipping 2012 version with canakit or sparkfun arduinos) as the non arduino packed versions?

The CD's dont appear to be arduino only on the labels so this seems to be a legitimate (license wise) way to experiment and learn Labview if it allows other VI's outside of the arduino space.

Any insight is appreciated.
