File version is later than the current LabVIEW version 1125

[p.dupre]

Hello,

I reacorded some data from a computer running Labview 2009 (8.6?) with Datalog tools.

Then I try to read the file from a computer runing Labview 8.5 by suing the same Datalog tools

and I get:

Error 1125 occurred at Open/Create/Replace Datalog in Data conversion.vi

LabVIEW:  File version is later than the current LabVIEW version

How can I by pass this issue?

Does Labview check the version used to create the file to thne refuse to read it by a previous version?

Thank for your help.

Hi p.dupre,

so you discovered one of the short-falls of using datalog functions...

Use a different file format instead?

Use the same LV version on all involved computers?

Hello,

Thank for teh answer.

However, the 2 PC belong to 2 different groups and I cannot change the version

Is there any way to tell to the datalog file that the version is 8.5.

I undertsand that it is binray file. I could edit or read them if I have more information.

Can somebody give me the structure of he file?

Thank.

Hi p.dupre,

the structure of the file depends on the datatype you write into...

Datalog file formats have changed between LabVIEW versions in the past. You've encountered one such change. Thus, it's not likely to be as simple as changing a flag in the file to say "8.5" instead of "2009".

The structure of the file is proprietary and is not provided by NI.

I would recommend that you use a more generic format. What that is I can't tell you because I have no idea what data you are trying to save.

I can only agree: Use a different File format or standardize the LabVIEW Version
