Error using "LDF Database Open.vi" for LDF 2.1 file

Question

Hi there,
I use the USB-LIN for a simulation for LIN bus. We had the LDF file of version 2.0 before but now we get a new LDF file which is in version 2.1.
We used 
LDF Starter Kit for LIN 1.0.1
to read the LDF file but it seems that the kit doesn't work any more with the LDF version 2.1.
It there a workaround for the LDF file with version 2.1.
Thx,
Wilbur

Hi,
The NI USB-LIN was created to work with the version 1.3 network standard. However, version 2.0 and 2.1 are backwards compatible, so the NI USB-LIN will work with these networks as well.
there is currently not a plan to update it for LIN 2.1.
Note: The new features introduced in version 2.0 and 2.1 network standards will not be natively supported with the NI USB-LIN.
