LabVIEW Full Development System 7.1 and tool kit

[suffyzull]

hello, i am confusing about the LabVIEW Full Development System 7.1 product.

what is thats means? any different of standard Ni LabVIEW 7.1. Is the full development system is already includes a tool kit.

i want to open an example file from this page...(http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5146) , i am using LabVIEW 7.1 student edition. It say file not found...( http://forums.ni.com/attachments/ni/170/292574/1/file%20not%20found.JPG)

and also i would like to know about the tool kit from this page...(http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/12855)
is this the reason why the file not found when i open the am_modulation.vi because i don't have this product? thanks

This is for the current version but gives you a good idea on what the differences are between products.  Clicking on the item will give you a complete description of what each feature is.  Hope this helps. http://www.ni.com/labview/how_to_buy.htm

The VI you mention is part of the toolkit. You bust buy this toolkit separatly. Make sure you will get the toolkit in the right version when you purchase it. The actual version will be newer than LV 7.1 and you will not be able to load the VIs in the toolkit. you will need to contact your NI sales representative to get this handled for you.

I have found your original question and the attached VI.

am_modulation.vi you have attached was saved in LV 8.0. You do not need the modulation toolkit to open the VI. I redownloded the VI from the NI web page and it was stored in LV 8.0 too. I made a comment on this on the page.

I have attached the converted VI.

hello, thanks for your help.

i now can open the application and study about the am_modulation in LabVIEW 7.1.
So now i just need to get the latest version of the LabVIEW 8.0 for me to be able to open it rite? Thats for the am_modulation.
How about the other example in the main link: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6037#software
likes this link: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5106#0requirements

Filename: simple_ask_transceiver.vi
Software Requirements
Application Software: LabVIEW Full Development System 7.1
Toolkits and Add-Ons: LabVIEW Modulation Toolkit 3.1
is it for me needs to have a tool kit? or in latest version likes LabVIEW 8.2 already have the tool kit inside it? Thanks.

thanks a lot and have a nice day and also happy new year 2008.

It seems that all those examples are marked with the incorrect version. Even the simple_ask_transceiver.vi is in LV 8.0.

If you need to study the modulation examples you should update to LV 8.5. In the case when Add-Ons or toolkits are required you need them too. You should contact your sales repesentative for special prices for education.

hello, let says i got a LabVIEW version 8.0
what is the step that i can used to convert the labview 8.0 to be able to read in LabVIEW 7.1 or older version.
thanks

Source management was changed with 8.0: you will need to build a project containing all application vi's.
Apart from this, you don't need to do something special: just open the LV7.1 vi's with LV8.0.
Of course, if you later save them with 8.0 you will not be able to open them with 7.1 anymore.

[waldemar.hersacher]

In LV8.0 you ust use File >> Save for Previous version. This will save your VIs in LV 7.1 format if it is able to convert it back. If the VI will contain new technologie like the Conditional Disable Structure or Shared variables it cannot convert it.
Also you have to take a close look at the conversion log an check all places mentioned there.
