Hi to all!
First of all I need to inform you that I am a very new user of LabView and absolutely have no experience with it. I used Simulink for a long time before and I'm familiar with block diagrams etc. and also have lots of coding experience too, so when I try to practice with Labview wit a tutorial most of the time I have no problem.
After a brief introduction about my knowledge on the program, here is the problem: I'm currently having a project about a wind tunnel, which uses a kind of GUI for interface of the live data recording. And as you may assume this interface is done via LabView, version 7.1. Btw. I have a licensed version of 2009.
I requested from my mentor to send me to code and work on it a little bit to understand the structure of the LabView, and he send it to me. But as you may expect, I cannot open it with my LabView v.2009. I got the following exact error message:
"LabVIEW: VI is not loadable.
In a built application, this error might occur because the VI being loaded was last compiled for a different OS, in which case you must save the VI on the current platform. This error also might occur if the VI is a polymorphic VI, which cannot be loaded in the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. You must load an instance of the polymorphic VI instead of the polymorphic VI itself.
An error occured loading VI "abweichung.vi"
LabVIEW load error code 11: VI version (7.1) cannot be converted to the current LabVIEW vesion (9.0) because it has no block diagram."
So this long text is the error message, and since I have no idea about LabView, I thought it would be a good idea to consult here to get some help about what should I do exaclty, or help me understand what exactly is the problem. (By the way, that file name is not the main program, as far as I've understood, it is a kind of a sub-vi of a huge scheme)
If you can help me with this I would be very pleased, thank you for your time and interest.

What Happens When I Save My VI and Remove Diagrams?
You need to go back to whoever gave you the code and find you a version that has the block diagram.
