It is possible to downgrade labview version 6.1 to labview version 5.1.1

[Ulrike]

I work with a tool which based on LabVIEW version 5.1.1. I have LabVIEW 6.1 and it doesn't works with the tool. It is possible to downgrade LabView 6.1 to Labview 5.1.1.

Hi,

You can save your LabVIEW VI's from 6.1 to 6.0 using the Save with Options.
Then do the same by loading your newly saved VIs into labVIEW 6, you can then save them out again to 5.

I dont think the there is any other way. Remember if you have been using new features only found in 6.1, then you will have to repair the broken wires as you go.

Alternatively, see if the Tool exist for version 6.1.

Ulrike,

most of the software companies allow to use older versions when you own
a licence of a newer one. Ask your local NI distributor.
May be somebody can give you his old version. It is no problem at all to
run several labview versions on one PC.
