How to convert Labview 9.0 vi files to 7.1 vi files?

Hi, I have a set of LabView 9.0 .vi files that I need to convert to 7.1 .vi files, but the current LabView 9.0 version only allows me to save it to 8.0 version. Thus, my questions are:
1) Can a user with LabView 7.1 open 8.0 files?
2) If not, is there any other way to convert 9.0 files straight to 7.1 files?
Many thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It requires two steps.
You need to open the VI's in LV 2009 and do a Save for Previous version back to LV 8.0
Then open that in LV 8.0 and do a Save for Previous back to LV 7.1.
If you don't have LV 8.0, then you can post the files to the downconvert thread and request there that they be converted to LV 7.1

How to convert Labview file 10.0 to 7.1

Hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to convert my 10.0 vi file to a 7.1 vi file. Thank you very much.
By the way, it's from a student version if that matters at all.
-Brian

You would need to have version 8 of LabVIEW along with version 2010 or 2011. Open the 10.0 file in LV10 or later, saveas LV version 8.
Open the LV8 version in LV8 and the save for previous version as 7.1
If you don't have those versions, then that is what this message board is for. Read Conversion Board Rules! and attach your VI to your message.

How to convert LabVIEW 2.2 for Mac to PC

Need to convert labview software from MAC to PC.
Moved files from mac to pc. No files with .vi extension. several resource.frk files in sub directories. Is there any instructions for conversion or is this not possible?

I've heard of people doing this before. It's been a couple of years but the process involved going from LV 2 to 3 on the MAC. Then from 3 MAC to 3 LV. Then use the LabVIEW converion kit. You may be able to bypass the 2 to 3 on MAC step.
From my understanding you can open LV 4 and onwards VIs with LV 6. Here's a Knowledgebase entry you might find useful:

How to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file?

Hi!
We are trying to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file. We are using Adobe Acrobat Standard v 9. Can it be possible?

I am also looking for feedback. Although having a PDF copy of a document is wonderful, long term and efficient archival for my workplace is tif or tiff.
Very frustrating that the PDF to tiff creates a separate tiff file for each page of the multi-page PDF document. Are there any options or work-arounds?

How to convert labview program to .exe file?

Is it possible to convert VI file into .exe file? How to go about doing it?

How to convert Labview log file to text file?

I want to open the log file in Excel or other text editor. Is there any special format of Labview log file? I thought it just binary, so I used a general program to convert binary file to Ascii file. But it failed because of the format of the log file format. Is there any other way that I can read log file in Excel? Thanks a lot.

Dennis Knutson wrote:
Are you refering to the front panel logging option? The actual binary format is going to depend on what controls and indicators you have on the front panel and their data types. There is an example of using the file i/o functions to read one of these files in chapter 14 of the user manual. The problem you'll have if you write a program to read a log file is that every time you add or delete a control/indicator, you'll have to rewrite your program and then you'll be unable to read older log files. You'd be better off writing your own log routines. Then you would control the binary format. There are shipping examples that you can look at for fbinary file storage.
Yes, I am referring the front panel logging option and I will read the maual first. Thank you very much for your help.

How to convert labview data into opc tag

Hi all,
Can any one please tell me how i can convert the labview data global into a OPC tag? I have some data globals reading and writing data to the globals. Now i wanted to use a PLC device to send its outputs to the field.
The PLC device will supports the OPC tags so i wanted t create OPC recognised tags in my labview. Is it possible. I saw that labview also having OPC functinalities. Please any one guide me in doing this.
I will be very thankful to them
Ramme..

As I said, I believe you can do this for globals as well by opening its front panel (double click the global) and using a DS connection for the control that represents that specific global.
As for other alternatives:
NI sells the DSC module which comes with an OPC server and with better tags.
You can use a common protocol like Modbus to interact with the PLC.
You can use the custom protocol used by the PLC.
The last two would require that you would change your program structure, so you would only want to use them under certain conditions.
I believe the practical limit for OPC tags with DS is a few hundred tags, but I never used it myself so I didn't run into it. You can try searching the forums to find out more.

How to convert Labview document into PDF format

Hi! can any one tell me, can we convert the Labview document (Labview saved files)into PDF format. I wanted to convert it using a VI. If any one suggest me or send me the example vi i will be very thankful.

Hi,
We have a brand new PDF library for LabVIEW. Release date is in october. The library can create pdfs, with all kinds of text writing and picture stuff. It works stand alone, so there is no need for other programs. It should also be platform independend.
If your interested, drop me a mail. I can send you mail when it's released. Maybe we can give you a "beta test", if you send use your findings.
Regards,
Wiebe. (email is " my name " @ carya . nl )

How to convert time from (hh:mm:ss) to (hhmmss) in CSV file

Hi Experts,
I have a CSV file where there is time column which displays time like hh:mm:ss
But the input I should give for loading the data is hhmmss
The amount of records that I have is more than 2 lakhs. I tried many ways to convert the time but I'm unsuccessful.
Can anyone tell me how do I convert the format please.
Thanks

Hi,
You can create a custom infoobject length 6 (say mytime) to read the data from csv file.
In the field routine assign the 6 character length info object to the required time IO(system time) with routine.
Inside the field routine...
result = source_fields-mytime.
The system will take care of conversion as per the user master setting.
Thanks,
Jugal.

hi there,
In the MCV there is a part about struts, this is a descent way to do this.
how to do it:
create an actionform containing all the properties of the page.
then when you submit your form use an method in the actionforms (that you have written) that makes sets your data in a xml file.
this works very quickely and i use it in production...
you can choose if you want the xml to generaded hard coded or via a parser.
greetings

How to convert a flash demo (either FLA or SWF) into FLV file

I first converted the FLA file into AVI file by using the option of export movie in my flash software. But the ouput was not good, the quality of the demo was hit. The animations looked shaky. Then I tried converting the same file into QT format but as I use Flash 8 I was told to change the version in the publish settings to either Flash 5 or a lower version which did not support the actionscript and the animations that my file had. My file occupies 13,320 frames which makes the FLA and the SWF file quite heavy. Is there any way in which I can convert my demo to FLV format without using a third party software and just use Adobe Flash and Adobe Flash Video Encoder to do the same?

I wanted to know how can the conversion be made without using any tool apart from Quick Time movie player and Adobe Video Encoder.
Though I managed to make the FLV file I discovered that the background music was not playing.
I want a solution through which I can make the FLV using only Quick Time player and Adobe Video Encoder and not lose the background music and the voice-overs that exist in my file.

How to convert the source code in JSP,HTML&BEANS into executable files?

Sir,
We are developing one s/w product in JSP,HTML&BEANS.Now we are in the implementation phase.During the time of Installation,without copying our source code in the customer's site I want to copy the executable files of the entire source codes? Is it possible in JSP,HTML&BEANS?

In theory you can do it even with JSP but the you will be unable to run it on the standard JSP engine. :-)
From other hand, all critical logic should be in the Java Beans or at least in custom tags but not in the JSP code. Then you can protect that code and leave JSP open because there is nothing to steal or break.

How to convert labview string to C-style string?

I have a labview string that is 100 characters longs. It stores a C-style, Null-terminated string, and it is only 10 characters long. So, is there any way that I can convienently get the shorter Null-terminated string out from the long labview string, other than programatically search for the NULL character in the labview string and get the sub string?

Well, IF you know the position of the null char, you can use String Subset, but with a string with a maximum length of 100 bytes you won't be saving any real performance and you can perform the same thing by wiring the index into the Offset input of S/SS. What's the problem with searching for the null char?

How to convert llb from LabVIEW version 8 to 7.1

Can someone tell how to convert the llb from LabVIEW version 8 to version 7.1?
I hope to sent the program to the others, but the other side are using LabVIEW version 7.1 but not version 8.0.
I know I can save to VI file as previous version, but it contains severals of VI in the library, it is quite time consuming.
Can everyone sugguest any method or solution to solve my problem.
Thanks.

Hi anson,
it will run also in LV7.1 - but you should check those warnings (probably things not/differently supported by LV7.1...) anyway!
