Evidence: Inferred
Pico page says PicoSDK example code on the Pico GitHub covers LabVIEW among other languages. Audit: this documents example code, not a vendor compatibility/support statement from NI or Pico; treat as class 2 and do not present as a guarantee.

Caveats
Version/edition not stated on the fetched page; licensing and pricing are not covered. Vendor marketing page: "connect to any instrument regardless of vendor" is a vendor claim, kept at class 2. Supported OS not on fetched text. Only page-level system requirements captured. Audit: instrument-driver count (7,000+) and 'connect to any instrument regardless of vendor' are NI marketing statements; the same NI page says the instrument's driver must be installed to read data and the comparison table says '7,000+ instrument drivers, NI and third party'. Page also mentions NI Nigel AI and LabVIEW+ Suite. CPU requirement on page: Intel Pentium 4 G1 equivalent (Core i5 recommended).
