saving to older version of labview

[cszym001]

Hi,

I made an application in Labview 8 but I need to put it on a Labview 6.1 computer.  All the functions are on the 6.1 computer the only difference is it was made with labview 8.  Is there any way I can save this as a LV 6.1 VI?  Or do I have to make it again? 

Thanks

Chris

With 8.1, you can save it as 8.0. You would then need every intermediate version between 8.0 and 6.1. With 8.0, save as 7.1. With 7.1, save as 7.0. With 7.0, you can then save as 6.1.

If it's not too big, you can try posting the VI here and asking for help in doing the conversion.

Hi cszym001,

How big is your application?
Is it just a couple of vi's?

Well it started out as just a couple of VI's but now it is huge.  I figured out my problem, however.  I wasn't too clear on the IMAQ overlay line and draw line functions.  It seems that overlay line is just for labview and is visual (doesn't alter the original image).  So in windraw, it will show a line but when I try to save it would vanish.  Draw line however will alter the values and save.  Also, I couldn't save to a jpeg because I had a 16 bit image not 8 bit like Andrey suggested (simple conversion).  Now I have my lines drawn (in color) and my picture saved as a jpeg.  Thanks for the help!!
