Hang on a sec, a digital input... midule? This feels like some knockoff NI DAQ gear.
Close up photo of the part description sticker on National Instruments packaging. The word module is misprinted as "midule". The description reads "NI PXI - 6511 INDUSTRIAL 64 SOURCE/SINK DI, BANK ISOLATED DIGITAL INPUT MIDULE AND NI - DAQ"

Advertise your account with one Simpsons image.
Screenshot from the Simpsons showing a sparking, overloaded electrical outlet with the text "No problems here". Just like my LabVIEW code!

Shame to see what's happening over on Twitter
Screenshot of a Twitter post by NI, showing a photo of an NI employee in a gangta rap outfit (I think?), in front of text reading "NI DAQ IS BACK"

As part of NI’s push for “#LabVIEW everywhere” in the mid 90s, the development environment was ported to a wide variety of platforms, including several video game consoles.

These console versions were never officially released, though internal beta copies are rumored to exist.

End of an era.
LabVIEW 1.2 About screen, featuring images of the original LabVIEW developers. The display is 1-bit black and white, so the images are heavily dithered.

It's not entirely surprising. In my 15+ years of professional LabVIEW work, I've never needed the Mac version. Still, sad to see it's no longer supported given the Macintosh is where it all began.
Photo of LabVIEW 1.0 running on an Apple Macintosh. Press release from Computerworld, Volume 20, Issue 25 (June 23 1986). Text reads: "National Instruments Corp. has announced Labview, a software product for the Apple Computer, Inc. Macintosh. Labview is said to combine interactive graphics with programming technology developed by National Instruments, called graphical diagramming. Labview reportedly provides an environment for developing scientific applications that integrate instrument control, data acquisition, data analysis, data entry, data management and report generation. Graphical diagramming allows the user to draw a diagram and automatically run it. According to the vendor, there is no need for the user to write, debug, and document the code. Labview is priced at $1,995. National Instruments, 12109 Technology Blvd, Austin, Texas 78727."

RIP #LabVIEW for Mac
1986 - 2023
Screenshot from NI's forum. The snippet reads "In addition, we are informing you that this will be the final release of LabVIEW on macOS. Starting with releases in 2024, LabVIEW will continue to be available on Windows and Linux OSes. We understand that this change of availability likely impacts your active and future plans. We have the following alternatives available for you to consider."
