IMAQ read and write files

[glory]

I was programming in LabView 7.1 and now i acquire the new version (LabView 8).

In my program I used the VI's imaq read file and imaq write file.  And when i opened the file on the new version those vi's are missing.  How can I found them or how can I use other vi's that do the same function.

Hello,

These VIs install with the IMAQ driver. IMAQ 3.5 (for LabVIEW 😎 can be installed from the LabVIEW 8 Device Driver CD. Once you install IMAQ with support for LabVIEW 8, the VIs will show up in the "Function » Vision & Motion » Vision Utilities » Files" palette. Take care!

Thanks for the help.

Now I have another question.

How can I call a sub-VI to put it in the block diagram
of another VI in LabView 8?

To place a subVI on the block diagram of another VI, simply choose "Select a VI..." from the functions palette. You can then navigate to the subVI and select it to be inserted. There is an entire section of the LabVIEW Help devoted to creating and implementing subVIs. I would definitely recommend reading through that section to learn more.

Kind Regards,
