location of specific vi's,

[jimwyvern]

I run a chemical engineering lab at UCLA.  We don't program often, and the ones we write are pretty simple.  I am hardly an experienced programmer.  One of our computers running LabView for an experiment went belly-up late last week.  We are trying to move the application to another computer which uses LabVIew 8 (We believe the application was written in LabVIew 6.)  We are using version 6 of the PID tool kit.  My problem is that when I try to load the program into LabView 8, I get messages of not being able to locate several key vi's: "Write to Digital Line", "AI Acquire Waveform", "AO Write One Update" to name a few.  When I look at the function palet, nothing looks familiar.  Does anyone know how to get to the "older" stuff?   Any help will be really appreciated, as the class using this program is in session.

Thanks.

Hi,

Do you still have the older version i.e. application that has been developed in lv 6?

If yes, then you can simply build a .llb and import the same into the machine that has lv 8.0... for that you simply have to go to file>save with options>development distribution>save... now if you run this .llb it will run properly.

hope it works.

Hi Jim

The vi's you mentioned are from the traditional DAQ. So there are some possible solutions that come to my mind.

1. It is not installed, so just install it and there should not be any problem
2. You really don't have (so I think you can download it for free)
3. Check if you have DAQmx installed and rewrite the vi's using DAQmx

Hope this helps.
