A system and method for performing syntax and/or semantic analysis for a graphical
program based on an intended target device for deployment of the graphical program.
User input indicating an intended target device for deployment of the graphical
program may be received. In one embodiment, the method may operate to determine
whether any of the graphical program elements are unsupported for the intended
target device of the graphical program. An invalid condition may be indicated for
any unsupported elements in the graphical program or to indicate semantic problems.
