Product model and name	Dynamic LabVIEW® Panels

Product model and name	Dynamic LabVIEW® Panels
Announcement	OPAL-RT Dashboards now support all the features that were previously exclusive to Dynamic LabVIEW® Panels. Consequently, RT-LAB 2024.1 will be the final version that permits the creation of new panels in projects not utilizing OPAL-RT Dashboards technology. Starting with RT-LAB 2024.3, only already existing projects with existing panels will allow editing and using these panels. In order to provide enough time to plan ahead for our clients, we intend to remove entirely Dynamic LabVIEW® Panels in version 2025.1. This will at the same time improve software stability. IMPORTANT Rest assured that this obsolescence won’t affect in any way the existing LabVIEW API available in RT-LAB, and it will still be possible to use LabVIEW panels independently and connect them to any RT-LAB simulation through I/O signals (TCP, OPC-UA, etc.)
SUMMARY
RT-LAB 2024.1	Last software version supported for creation of new panels in Dynamic LabVIEW® Panels.
RT-LAB 2024.4	Last software version supported for editing existing panels created in Dynamic LabVIEW® Panels.
RT-LAB 2025.1	Dynamic LabVIEW® panels will cease functioning completely in RT-LAB.
