Hello,
I am looking at some old code that was written in LabVIEW 8.6. The overall program is driven by test stand 4.1. We are looking to upgrade both the LabVIEW and Test Stand code to latest.
I'm specifically looking at one section of code that interacts with a Switching system. The old code used the "NI Switch IVI" and my understanding is that the newer labview we'll be using(2015) doesn't support IVI anymore. One route I've been told we can go is to use "NI Switch Executive." Is the switch executive now the new "version" that replaces the IVI standard?? What is the difference between 'switch IVI' and 'switch executive'? and when should each be used?
Also, on the IVI editor window in LabVIEW 8.6, I noticed there is a radio button for "executive"... is this how I could upgrade? By saving it as a switch executive and then porting that to labview 2015?
The goal here is not to have to deal with writing or using any native labview drivers for the switch system but retaining the IVI/executive framework.
Thanks!
