how to update labview 8.2.1 to 8.6

[26314362]

Hi to all!!! I have labview 8.2.1 version and I want to use USB RAW (Interrupt,bulk,control) method for communication, but 8.2.1 does not have this support...I have 8.6 evalution version...is there any way to update this feature in 8.2.1 so that I can explore usb in 8.2.1...

Hi,

Regarding USB Raw communication there is no difference between LV 8.2.1 and 8.6, in both you will need to use NI VISA (which is a driver).

See here -> How Can I Communicate With a Device Using NI-VISA USB RAW Mode?

Hi! Christian....

                       thanks for the reply.....but it says that you need ni-visa 3.0 version to have usb support and my labview 8.2.1 suite has ni-visa 4.1....and what I found in 8.6 is that you can have visa property node in which you can select class as usb raw and property as "out pipe" or "in-pipe" and many more...while I can't see these in 8.2.1.....how to get this in 8.2.1.....one more thing in 8.6...example find includes all USB-RAW examples....but nothing in 8.2.1....help on this...

Hi,

Theese examples are still using VISA. The link I posted before says "since VISA 3.0 USB Support was introduced", so using VISA 4.1 is supporting that too.

Since you see the examples in LV8.6 simply open them there and go to File>Save for previous Version to save them for 8.2.

Then you should be able to use them there.
