Hello,
I have LabView 6i, 6.1, & 7.1 installed on my PC. In using LabView 7.1 I use the function pallet to select a VI to use. I selected "system exec.vi" under communications for example. This particular VI appears to be made in an earlier version of LabView. I place it in my program. When I need a control for an input I usually point to the input and then right-click the mouse and select "create" and then "control". The creates an exact copy of the control that exists in the VI I'm connecting to. In this case, the control is an older style that doesn't match with the new 7.1 controls. The same is true for the indicators.
indicator for a input or output, I usually point to the input or outpu
