Downconvert VI Requests

smercurio_fc — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:03:01 GMT

Please use the Version Conversion board to post any requests to upconvert or downconvert your VIs.
In your post, please indicate:
Source LabVIEW version
Target LabVIEW Version

**Once converted, please mark the thread as Solved by selecting "Accept as Solution".

Please remember this is not a space for code discussion. This is just a space for you to post the VIs you need to be converted to an older or newer version of LabVIEW. If an issue arises where you need further assistance after the conversion has been completed (for instance, if you need the converted

VI to be removed from the forums) please select "Report to a Moderator."

Can someone help me to convert these Vi´s in an newer version ? They are written in 5.1 and here we have only 8.5.1

So it would be nice if someone can convert it for me.

thx

This post is for requesting to save VIs that are in a newer version back to an older version. The Upconvert VI Requests page is for upgrading VIs. In the future, please post there for upgrading older VIs.

Hi errante,

not so much luck on downconversion:

One VI (stimbit...) looses a lot of functionality because of unsupported features, the other doesn't even downconvert (WMP..., I got a lot of "insane" errors). The 3rd one is mainly a picture of code

In downconverting from labview 8.6 to labview7.1, I ran into ignorance in my coding abilities or a compatibility issue.

In 8.6, under 'RegEvents' there is a 'Signal' option followed by 'signalType'; however, in 7.1 I am only able to evoke a 'Signal' option.

Is there a solution?

Thanks,

errante

That event is from DAQmx, not LabVIEW. So it's an issue with the version of DAQmx. Support for LabVIEW 7.1 goes up to DAQmx 8.9.

Attached is in 8.2, BUT.... The Feedback Node in 8.6 had a global initialization terminal, whereas the one in 8.2 does not. Thus, that node is missing in the VIs. You will need to recode the VIs using the 8.2 Feedback Node. Also, the top-level VI used a Wait Express VI from the RT module. I don't have that, so you'll need to put it in yourself.

thanks much! i just wanted to get an idea of how it was done...

'That event is from DAQmx, not LabVIEW. So it's an issue with the version of DAQmx. Support for LabVIEW 7.1 goes up to DAQmx 8.9'

So if I understand correctly, the issue could be that this feature is not available until after DAQmx 8.9. Since I tested the code on the same computer, does this mean that Labview7.1 and Labview8.6 are using different DAQmx drivers?Measurement and Automation shows only NI-DAQ8.8 and no other versions.

I forgot to include a picture detailing the problem.

Could the issue be independent of DAQmx?

Thanks,

Rob

Please do not post PowerPoint files. Please post images directly as PNG (preferred), JPEG, or GIF. NEVER BMP.

It appears you cannot select to register for DAQmx events in LabVIEW 7.1.

Conversion needed on Screenshot.zip to labview 7.1...Thank You!

Attached is in 7.1. You will need to fix all of the subVIs that were using Call Library Function Node. LabVIEW 7.1 did not have error in / error out terminals for that node.

Convert 8.0 to 7.1

I wrote a VI to convert PDF files to PNG using Ghostscript for this thread, OP needs 7.1 version. I have preconverted to LV8. Thanks.

(You can also post it directly in the above thread, and may even get it marked as a solution).

Since you are noob to the forum and this is your first post, i hope you don't know how to attach a file. There is an option called "Add attachments" located at the bottom of your composer box. Post if you still need help.
