New Thread for Conversion of LabVIEW 5.1 code to 8.5

[Smootastic]

Hi Ayse,

For most errors, you can search for related KnowledgeBase articles in the search bar at the top.  But since you are upgrading VIs, have you tried running Serial examples to make sure you can communicate to your device?  Does rewriting a small portion of the code work in 8.6?

[Dennis_Knutson]

Since you say that it was originally written in a very old version, it may have used the obsolete serial functions. The conversion to VISA in 8.6 was automatic but it's possible there was something in the old program that broke the conversion. If you have old functions like 'Serial Port Write', etc. you might want to remove them completely and directly use the VISA functions.

Thanks for your respons,

I ave tried Serial examples and manged to communicate to my device but I could not yet manage to run the upgrated vi because of VISA errors

I also tried to replace old serial functions by VISA functions as suggested Dennis but I have still same errors

I send both serial control vi in labviez 8.6 and 6.1

Could you pleqse test and let me knoz why the 8.6 gives errors

Thanks in advance

Ayse

I obviously cannot do a complete test because I do not have the instrument but with the SimpleSerial  Port Control code that you posted, I can get past the VISA Initialize Serial Port and do the first VISA Read with no problems. I don't understand why you can't. The serial examples use the same init function and you've said that they work.

Hello, me again MrDoc

So I'm in process of rewriting my code to Daqmx version.

Question - I old version has aquire and average.vi used several times.

This is part of the zdaqutil.llb.  Is this llb part of the legacy daq?

Can I just use the aquire and average as it is used in the old vi, or will this not work?

[Dennis_Knutson]

Already answered.

Sorry Dennis, I don't understand your reply.

Your saying zdaqutil.llb is part of the legacy daq and I can't just use aquire and average as is?

Is there an equivalent vi to aquire and average to use in daqmx?

[Dennis_Knutson]

Everything in the folder is part of traditional DAQ. As has been mentioned before, you cannot use any traditional DAQ function with an M series card.

With DAQmx, you would do a DAQmx Read and then you could use the Mean function. There is also the Ecpress VI - Probablility and Statistics.
