About read old version data file in Labview 8.6 (Read Waveform from file.vi)

[presun]

Hi, I have big problem about using Read Waveform from file.vi in LV8.6 to read *.wmf files which were generated program of LV7.1,

It will often appear one message windows, please see attached picture file, because I will use LV8.6 program to read huge numbers of such files,

I can't afford every such message windows in my program, Please tell me how to get rid of this messages.

Thank you very much

Hello,

The waveform data type is different in LabVIEW 8.6 from the 7.1 version, so this conversion is mandatory. This knowledgebase article addresses the same error: Read Waveform Files From Older Versions of LabVIEW . 

To prevent the message from popping up, add  silentDatalogConvert=True to the LabVIEW.ini file. This is located in the National Instruments\LabVIE 8.6 folder.I hope this helps!
