Open a VI in LabVIEW 5.1 that was saved in version 6.1

[Tuber]

Does anyone know if it is possible to open a VI saved in LabVIEW 6.1 with version 5.1? I have come across some VI's that were either saved in version 6.1 or they were created in that version. Our computers are running Version 5.1 currently. If they can be opened in ver. 5.1 would they run ok in that version? Thanks

Each LabVIEW version can go back one step uing "save for previous". You need LabVIEW 6.1 to save them in 6.0 format. Then you need LabVIEW 6.0 to save them for LabVIEW 5.1.

Unless they use new 6.0 or 6.1 specific features, they should run just fine in LabVIEW 5.1 once converted.

If you want, you can post your VIs here and somebody will probably convert them for you.
