How to convert the lower version code to the higher version?

[solutions]

Hi to all,

I have bought the Agilent DMM with LAN support. With this DMM they gave the examples in labview 7.x. But I will work the examples in labview 8.6. And also I have attached one example code which was provided by agilent. How can i change the code from LabVIEW7.x to LabVIEW 8.6?

Thanking you

Just open the VIs in LabVIEW 8.6 and use them.

Did you try?

As mentioned by dan_u it should open directly in LV 8.6 without issues .If not please post the vis in version control board

If it doesn't open directly, it's most likely that functions of the library (or dependencies) have their block diagram removed and therefore cannot be updated at all....

I have opened the vis directly in LabVIEW 8.6,  save and close it. But the vis call some subvi in the library file. If I open the vi and save it as LabVIEW 8.6. And I have four separate vis, all are call some subvis in the same library. If i open one vi and save it as LabVIEW 8.6, it also saves the library whichever it calls as a separate library. But i need only one library file which contain all subvis and the main vis separately. what can i do for this?

Open the lvlib-file and save it in the newer version.

[dan_u]

Or do a mass compile (Tools > Advanced > Mass Compile...) on the folder containing the VIs and the llb.

Are you using  'save for previous version' option from file menu and saving to LV 8.6?.That may not be needed.

S. I used the 'save for previous version' in LabVIEW 8.6 for main vis. And open the library file in LabVIEW 8.6 and close. Is it ok?

Since you marked a reply as solution, i would expect the question to be answered correctly.

Note to "Save for Previous": Use this option if you want to save LV code for older versions. So this is nothing you use to update code for newer versions. Update works with opening and saving (which masscompile essentially does for all LV code in the given folder).
