Upgrading LabView program from 3.0.1 to 6.1

[danl00]

Hi,

I have a LabView program which was written and run in LabView Version 3.0.1. We are upgrading our test system to LabView 6.1 and would like to port this program over to the new environment.

When I tried opening up the program in 6.1 I got a message saying the version the program was written in was too old to upgrade to 6.1.

Is there a way of porting an older version lab view program to a newer one without reentering everything?

Thanks in advance...

Dan

here is th eimportant part:


"To load a VI from LabVIEW 3.x or earlier, you must use the LabVIEW VI Conversion Kit, which is available free of charge from National Instruments. The part number of this kit for Windows and Macintosh is 776874-03. VIs from UNIX must be transferred to a Mac or PC where the VI can be converted to LabVIEW 4.0 and then transferred back to UNIX. The LabVIEW VI Conversion Kit is not available in the online catalog. Please contact the National Instruments Sales Department directly to request this free conversion kit."

good luck

Dan,

Thanks for the info. This was very helpful.

I'm going to find the conversion kit and give it a whirl.

Thanks again!
