Hello -
I have a customer with a very old application who needs to upgrade their system to Win7 64-bit. The app references the old PID functions (manual here: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320794a.pdf) but no matter what I have searched for, I cannot find an installation for that toolkit. I have never had a need to use the current PID toolkit so I am not versed with it, and the difference in the functions do not seem to be a 1 to 1 change. Additionally, the customer is not paying for a code change - just assistance with the upgrade and reinstall. I would greatly appreciate if someone could point me to that download.
If such a download is not in existence any longer, I will need to request some assistance with modifying the source to use the current PID functions. I could attach the pertinent code if need be (there are not a great deal of references).
Thank you.

Your customer expects a 32-bit application to "just work" in a 64-bit OS?
For software that old (20 years), your best bet is to contact NI directly.
320794A-01 is probably the manual's part number not the toolkit part number

Hi CVIBri,
The installation files for the LabWindows/CVI PID Control Toolkit 2.1 are located at the URL below. I realize these are only officially compatible with versions of Windows up to Vista, however this is the most recent version of the toolkit that exists. I've also provided a link to the Evaluation License Files. That being said, LabWindows/CVI 2013 SP2 now includes the PID Control Toolkit as part of its Base and Full versions, and it is fully licensed with the same serial number used to activate the LabWindows/CVI development environement. The Readme linked below should provide more information.

LabWindows/CVI 2013 SP2 Readme: https://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/374674a.html
Thanks,
