Converting 5.1 code to 8.5

[Pellette]

Hello. Could someone please help me out by converting the code in the hyperlink to a version I can open with LabView 8.5? Thank you.

Your missing a couple of support files from the VI you posted.  But here is the main VI.

Thanks for the help. Could you also convert this file, please?

Here it is.  There's not much difference between the two.

I'm having a problem retrieving the logs for these VIs. I thought that maybe the first .vi I sent just didn't have the data, but neither of them allow me to retrieve the data logs like I can on the old computer with version 5.1. I'm pretty inexperienced with LabView so maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong. I guess I'm misssing a library or something where the output is stored.

You're missing two subVIs and whatever subVIs they call.  One is 2400swp2.vi.  The other is Datalog_to_Spreadsheet.  I don't have 5.1 installed anywhere, but you should be looking for something along the lines of Save with Options under the File menu.  In that window, you want to pick Development Distribution.  This will save everything the VI calls.  The windows should look something like this (this is from 6.1, so your window may differ):

Zip that up and post it.

Ok, I found the save options with ease but it all saved as Keithly_DataFile.llb. I hope that's right. Here it is.

Here is the updated code.  Not broken this time.

I'm still not able to retrieve the data logs created using this .vi that I am able to find on the old computer. The .vi was made several years ago so I'm not sure what folder the person who programmed it was having the data saved into.  Do you have any insight as to where data logged using this .vi might be saved? Is there a default place it would store them or is it user defined?  The actual program you converted for me is working fine, but I'm still just missing the data - as if it didn't migrate with Keithly_DataFile.vi.

It looks like he is trying to save ti to C:\My Documents\data\database.txt.  If C:\My Documents\data doesn't exist, he should be generating an error in a pop-up window.
