Converting from version 8 or 7.1 to version 7.0

[eamonn.boyle]

Hi,
We have version 6, 7.0 and 8.0 LabVIEW. We use this to create a LabVIEW library that interfaces to our SDK DLL. We have a customer who is using LabVIEW 7.0.

We have carried out some LabVIEW development in version 8.0 and need to save it into version 7.0. When we select Save As Previous Version we can only save to version 7.1 which is incompatible with 7.0. Is there any way we save our version 8.0 files into version 7.0 format.

Thanks,
Eamonn

The only version of LabVIEW that can save to 7.0 is 7.1. If you want to post the code (and there's not too much of it), you can request that someone do the save for you.

That would be fantastic if someone wouldn't mind doing it.

I've attached LLB files in a zip file.

Much appreciated if anyone can help out.

You can help make it easier to do the conversion. You can take a tip from a standard instrument library and create a VI Tree. This is just a VI that includes all of the VIs in your main and support llb. this can then be opened and with a single Save As, the conversion will be done. The other thing is to include the dll. Without the dll, anyone opening each VI will be prompted to find it. The prompt will then appear when the Save As is done. That's all a bit tedious to do.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've attached a zip with the required files.

Cheers again.

Here you go. The VI Tree made it quick and easy.
