importing from 6.0 to 8.2; problems

[Sgoeckner]

Hey guys, I am sorry to report I am a NEWBIE to LabView, but intend to get more familiar with it.....just like I am now, trial by Fire!

I am evaluating a VI my manufacturer wrote for my test device, and we will be taking over writing testing interfaces for it when our gig with them expires. So I downloaded the latest demo of 8.2, the new serial drivers and VISA drivers, but I cannot get the compilation to run once it goes into 8.2 from 6.0

Any ideas? I got rid of the 1073807343 & 4202 errors when I added the drivers, but I still get no data....and am unfamiliar enough that I am balking at purchasing a copy if I don't know it's gonna work on the original source code I'm using...

Hi Shaun,

I hope you are doing well today! Depending on the size and the function of the application, you should expect to face some issues when porting the application from LabVIEW 6.0 to LabVIEW 8.2. Here is an example when upgrading from LabVIEW 8.0.x to 8.2
LabVIEW 8.2 Upgrade Issues

My approach to this situation would be to create a new application in LabVIEW 8.2 and try to manually copy the code from the 6.0 application. This would help you understand what’s going on in the application and would help you understand the functions you use as well (which would help you debug it). You should always upgrade your application to the next maintenance release or an upgrade release, whenever they come out.

Also, have you considered training for LabVIEW? We do have some resources online which could help you learn LabVIEW. We also provide instructor-led classes for LabVIEW as well.
