Opening VI written in labview 5.0 with version 8.5

[Chakradharkj]

Hi,

I am new to Labview. I have VIs to capture the Tektronics real time scope waveforms written in Labview 5.0. I am currently using is evaluation version 8.5. I am getting an error that the new version does not support these old files. I just want to open these files and look at the code for reference. Can anyone suggest a way to open these files.

Thanks,

Chakradhar

One way would be for someone to open it in a version that still supported it and is supported by LV8.5.

For instance, if you post the VI(s) (and hopefully not too many of them), I could open and save them as LV7.x.  Hopefully nothing gets broken to this stange and the VI could then be opened and saved to LV8.5.

Thanks a lot for your offfer.

I have a .llb file which has a group of files and one vi files. It will be very helpfull ... Thanks in advance.

The llb cannot be converted because the VIs have no block diagrams. Find the original llb with the source code or you will have to rewrite everything from scratch.

As Dennis explained, there is not much you can do...  See images below:

All the sub-vi's (within the .llb file) do not have block diagrams, so the calling VI is rather useless.
