Hello all! I still haven't managed to get hold of newer versions of Labview..I am still running a very nice 6.2! We have recently purchased a camera which labview software is written for version 7. Can any of you convert this software package into version 6.2 please?If so, I will post the software...Any help much appreciated.have a lovely day.

NO for two reaosns

There are no files atached

There is no such thing as LabVIEW 6.2

PS: Did you mean 6.0.2 or 6.1 ?

You can post it and I'm sure someone will see if it can be converted, though you won't get 6.2. There was no version 6.2, just 6.1.

oh dear..Labview 6.0.2 I meant.

The files are attached in winzip files.

I tried and after getting countless prompts to find IMAQ functions (which I don't have) and xcamer.dll, I get them all opened in 7.1 and saved to 7.0. When I tried to open them in 7.0 though, I got an Insane Object error and LabVIEW closes. Maybe someone that has an old version of IMAQ will have better luck. Sorry.

Hello anna75,
I have converted the files to Labview 6.0.
NI-IMAQ 2.6.1 is compatible with this version of Labview.
However, the original VIs use a picture control. Which were introduced in LabView 7 onwards. So, in places of your front panel, you will see white spaces with "Missing object. The object Plug In does not exist in this version" (see attached image) where there used to be a picture control. So you will need to do some programming to ammend this.
The conversion to this version lacks the "xcamera.dll" file.
Converting vis to previous versions can be tidious and we normally do not do this. I have made an exception and done it this time.
I would strongly recommend upgrading your Labview as the best solution as the version you are using is not supported anymore.
Best Regards,

Hey again,
Here are the converted files.
Also included is the warnings file generated when converting the VIs back.
Hope this helps.
Best Wishes,
