Version Problem

[Aneesh]

Hi,
We have purchased the LabVIEW 7.1 (Japanaese) version from NI.
We have a .llb file ( Confidential_HYDRO-MEAS.llb )which is created using LabVIEW 6.0 version (Japanese).
We extract the .llb file to VIs, and when try to run, there are some errors.

Which refers as follows,
"The function name of the specified node is not in a library. Please carry out the right click of the library call function, choose composition, and specify a library name or a path."

We determined that some VI's which are provided by NI are loaded from different location.
( ie, we have extracted all the VI's to one location and these files with errors are loaded from another location)
As below

Orginal file location to load
E:\NI\VI\Real FFT.vi
E:\NI\VI\Inverse Complex FFT.vi

Now these are loaded from the location
E:\Program Files\LabVIEW 7.1\vi.lib\analysis\2dsp.llb\Real FFT.vi
E:\Program Files\LabVIEW 7.1\vi.lib\Analysis\2dsp.llb\Inverse Complex FFT.vi

How can I solve the problem?


Thanks in Advance
Aneesh

Aneesh,

It looks like your application might be using the old native VI's instead of the new 7.1 native VI's. Any VI's that come with LabVIEW do not need to be saved with your application. When opening your application in a newer version, it should only use the VI's from that version, and not from the version it was created in. I would recommend either simply deleting the 6.0 or 6.1 native VI's or renaming the folder they are in (unless they are saved with your VI's, in which case they need to be deleted or moved). This will cause your application to search for and use the 7.1 natives.

If none of these suggestions help, or if I’m not correctly understanding your issue, please reply with comments or answers to the discussion above and any additional information that may help, and I’ll be happy to look further into it.

Have a nice day!

I am not sure this is a problem.

It sounds like you did a save and selected "include VI's in vi.llb".

If you modified the VI's in LV 6 and saved them to vi.llb, then there could be an issue.

That message just warns you that the vi's mentioned were loaded from a different location than the last time the vi was saved.

If you are not sure, then you could do a "tools > compare > compare vi's" to see if there any differences that you want to be concerned with.

So...
this may not be a problem.
