Suppress automatic dialog

[daniel_bossard]

I have to evaluate old binary files (LV5) with LV7.1. All the time I open one of the old files, there is a dialog where I have to confirm the update of the binary file to the latest version. This is not very convenient, because I should evaluate app. 1000 files.
How can I suppress this dialog?

You can use the "Mass Compile..." option under Tools >> Advanced.

Keep in mind that once you save them in the 7.1 version, you can't load them in LabVIEW 5 anymore (hence the reason for the warnings). If this is a problem, just make a copy of the files.

Hi Daniel,

I suppose you want to import old DATALOG files into LV 7.1, isn't it? If that is the case and you want to convert them automatically, then add this line in the LabVIEW.ini file which you find in the LabVIEW directory:

silentDatalogConvert=True

For more informations:
In LV: Goto Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf, open the "LabVIEW 7.1 Upgrade Notes" PDF File and read the "Converting Datalog Files" chapter on page 11.

If you want to convert LV VI's itself then use the method described by Lars.

Regards,
Luca

You are right, I want to import old datalog files (correct naming is a hard thing). It works with the changes in the .ini file.
Many thanks!
Daniel
