In LV5, many new capabilities were added to the VI Server. There are replacement
functions in your 5.1 vi.lib, and if you load your application with
references to
the old VIs from vi.lib, everything should map over to the new functions
automatically. If you have saved the vi.lib VIs with your source, then
I guess
that might cause a problem.
The best solution at some point will be to convert over to using the new functions
that are located in the palettes. They support property nodes and as I
said, have
lots of new functionality.
In the meantime, try loading the new VI then loading your application.
This will
automatically m
ove the calls over to the newer version. To do this,
make sure
nothing is open. Open the vi.lib/utility/victl.llb/Call Instrument.vi
file. Now
load your application. Assuming the name of the VI didn't change, your application
should have started using the correct replacement file. You may need to
do this
for other victl files that you are using.
