The OS and LabVIEW version have to be compatible. Either upgrade LV or reinstall the OS on the controller. You can change the OS by going into MAX>>Remote Systems>>your unit and finding the software configuration (it changes in different versions of MAX). If it won't let you downgrade, I think you may have to reset it to the factory default. If the factory default was 7.1, then I really don't know.
