DatLab for Apple
Hi Mario, By the way, do you have any version of DataLab that can be installed in Apple Mac system? Or, do anyone from your company know how it get it works?
Hi Peter,
We develop DatLab only for Windows, because its the platform all our customers can live with and most customers have to live with. We are aware that it is not the best platform for scientific software (this might be Linux > Apple > Windows), but unfortunately we do not have a choice here. Even the ongoing software developing for one platform is a very major and cost intensive project for a company of our size, therefore we can not do this for multiple platforms. However, there were rumors that DatLab runs on a Windows emulator software for Apple. This was before we hat this wiki for collection of this kind of user feedback :-( . We do not have experiences in this on our own. I have only experience with running DatLab under a Windows emulator for Linux. This works always for "off line " data analysis and for some DatLab versions even for on-line data accumulation. Without being any sort of Apple expert, I would guess things might be similar for Apple based windows emulators.
Any experiences from customers in this regard would be highly welcome of this page

Hi Mario, By the way, to open DatLab file in Mac system, I install a program called "VitualBox" which is free for basic version. With that, I can install windows in my Mac and therefore all other programs that can be installed in PC. I can open DatLab file without any problem. I am not sure if I can run DatLab to collect data in real-time. Never try it yet since I use other PC to run experiment.
Hi Mario,
we have used an Apple MacBook running DatLab 4 under Parallels 7 for both collecting and analysing data on expedition. It works all right, not superbly, as there are some issues with the right click and a couple of shortcuts. Once you get used to this, you can do everything in DatLab that you can do on a PC. Best wishes
Felix
