How I can open Labview6.1 files form Labview5.1, or how to save file using 6.1 in order to open it by 5.1

I tried "save with options" but there are only 6.0/6.1 versions but no prior. How I can convert files from LV6.1 to LV5.1?

You will at least need LV 6.0.X to do the conversion IF POSSIBLE!

There were many features and functions added between 5.1 and 6.1. None of these are backward compatible.

If you have 6.0.x then first do a save for previous from 6.1 the 6.0.x then repeat uisng LV 6i.

Originally all files are for the LV5.1 they were openned and saved from LV6.1. Thus all files compatible with version 5.1, no any new features.
Is it possible to resave that files so that they will be available to open from LV5.1?

Only if you have 6.0.x to complete the conversion.

steps!

6.1 >>> 6.0 Use LV 6.1
6.0 >>> 5.1 USe LV 6.0.x

LV will let you save code backwards for one major rev.
