Isn't the Arduino / Labview combination simply using the Arduino as a remote perhipheral to the PC...?

That is.. All the real computation/display is done on the PC, and the Arduino is a slave device communicated with via Serial Data. So all it provides is signal in/out.

So the Arduino cannot run stand-alone in this mode....

This was the case when I first heard of using the Arduino with LabVIEW, I was just interested to hear if it had changed.

other comment...

BTW, if you want an example of LabVIEW running on an ARM processor, how about the LEGO NXT
