How to properly convert from LV2009f3 to LV8.5.1

Hello,
I have a fairly large project for an AOI which was initially developed in LV8.2 and later ported up to v8.5.
The project has a Windows and an FPGA target and relies heavily on NI Vision and IMAQ for the inspection parts of the application.
I recently decided to jump to LV 2009f3 for the new generation of the machines. I added a lot of functionality and minor bug fixes and prepared the code to work on various generations of the machine by using Conditional Diagram Disable structures and Conditional Disable Symbols.
The problem is that I need to go back to v8.5 to compile the executable and make sure that it will work on the older systems with LV and Vision 8.5 runtimes.
First I tried to save the entire project to version 8.5 but failed after multiple attempts: I always get a 'Memory Full' error with the same VI, which is the first in the project that accesses Vision functions. When I save the projecto to version 8.6 this error doesn't occur.
I concluded that this first situation is related to saving from 2009 to 8.5 when you use Vision functions.
I was able to get to version 8.5 by saving the project from version 8.6 to 8.5. The fact that you need an intermediate step is apparently well known in the forums as a bug in LV2009.
But my real problems are starting now. I currently have all the files saved as version 8.5. NOTE: the project could not be saved, but I managed to recover a version 8.5 project from my old code and used that, because the file structures were kept intact.
My current issues are with the VI's that call Vision and FPGA functions/nodes. They will ALWAYS crash: the vision related VI's crash during loading with the infamous 'Memory Full' error, while the FPGA related VI's crash during loading with the 'FPSANE.CPP' error. The 'Memory Full' error is related to nivision.dll.
I'm unable to open the VI's so I'm not sure what to do now.
Is there any way to "properly" save such a large project from 2009 to LV8.5? What toolkits and/or picture versions should I choose when LV asks me during the 'save for previous' operation? Has anyone experienced the same issues? How did you solve them?
Please help me. I don't know what to do.
On a side note, the VI's for the FPGA target opened without any trouble and I was able to compile the VI's into a bitfile without any hassle. Why so many problems with the Host target VI's?

Hi James,
Thank you for your reply.
Regarding your suggestion, I've been trying just that. I have a dual boot on my machine with Win7 + LV 2009f3 and WinXP + LV 8.5.1
Inside Win7 I have a WinXP virtual machine that runs LV 8.6. So in fact it's just like I used 3 different machines to do the porting, so that should not be the issue.
 I have also created a virtual machine from the original WinXP + LV 2009 installation on the AOI machine to be able to continue developing on my laptop without having the typical file paths and add-on/driver version issues that one usually has in these situations. So I'm all set regarding this.
I'm only having these issues because I want to go back to LV 8.5.1 to do maintenance on an older machine.
Another valuable piece of information is that the VI are not really corrupted.  They will open fine in LV 8.6 or 2009. Only not in 8.5.1...
What I'm going to try now is to open the project in a clean install of LV 8.5.1 but without the Vision and FPGA modules installed.
Maybe this way instead of the before mentioned errors and crashes, LV will only complain about missing VI and CTLs.
This will take some time so in the meantime I really appreciate more help.
Best regards,
Habil

    Ok, fine. That isn't Acrobat, and that's why our instructions weren't much use. (But it's worth saying "I didn't have that option" rather than "it's not converting", we could end up wasting a lot of your time with the wrong stuff!)
    Anyway, the free Adobe Reader can't do this conversion without a subscription called either ExportPDF or PDF Pack. You may have had one in the past. Are you still paying for one?

  • How can I convert from Modbus raw data to engineering units using a formula?

    Within Lookout, I have several Modbus numerical input types that do not have a linear corespondence to the Engineering values they represent.  How can I display these values accurately using a formula to convert from the raw data to an engineering value?

    I don't quite understand your reply.  I'm using Lookout 6.0.2, logged in as Administrator, in Edit Mode.  The Modbus object is named RTU06_SAV.  The Active member is 30002 with an alias of SAVfmSMT_RSL.
    Following your instructions, I opened Object Explorer and right-clicked on RTU06_SAV. 
    This opened a menu containing:  Refresh, Cut, Copy, Rename, Delete, Edit connections..., Edit Data Member Configuration, Configure Network Security and Properties.
    I assumed that I should select Edit Data Member Configuration, but maybe I'm wrong. 
    Within Data Member Configuration I can set up Linear Scaling between Raw data and Engineering data.  I know how to do that, but what I need to know is how to convert Raw data to Engineering data using a formula representing a non-linear transformation (such as a converion to a logarithmic value or perhaps a formula derived by fitting the formula to a curve on a calibration chart).
    Once I have this my Engineering data can be represented on a control panel as both a numeric value AND as a correctly reading Gauge.  It can also be properly represented on a HyperTrend graph.
    What do you suggest?

  • How do I convert from PAL to NTSC in compressor?

    I have a project I converted from mp4 file to Apple Pro Res to edit it in FCP.  I exported using Compressor and tried to import the files to DVD Studio Pro.  It said it can't put PAL files into an NTSC project.  I didn't even realize it was filmed in PAL (yes, I have the rights to use the footage).  How do I convert the files from PAL to put it into FCP...in Compressor?  If so, how?  Thanks for any help!

    To  convert the 25fps PAL file to a 29.97fps file staying within the ProRes codec:
    • Open up compressor. In the Settings window select: Apple>Formats>Quicktime>ProRes 422
    • Select the "Duplicate Selected Setting" icon in the upper left of the Settings window
    • This creates duplicate of the preset that you can edit
    • Select the preset copy and, in Inspector, give it a new name (something like ProRes PAL>NTSC)
    • In Encoder>Video Settings>Frame rate - and change the frame rate to 29.97
    • In Frame Controls> turn them on and set Resize Filter and Rate Conversion to BETTER.  (If so set them to BEST, be prepared for a long wait)
    • In the Geometry tab, set the Frame Size to 720x480 (you don't say if the file is 16:9 or 4:3)
    • Submit the file and go have dinner. Depending on the length of the file, it may take hours.
    Have fun.

    I don't know about that, have you had a bad experience with doing this?
    If you save in Acrobat 7 or 8 you can also reduce the files size by going to Document>Reduce Document Size, which eliminates things that are left from conversion but have nothing to do with output. Sometimes saves a lot of size sometimes just a small amount.

  • How do I convert from pdf to word? I see an option to do so, however, when I click on it, Ia box opens...

    when I try to convert from pdf to word, a box opens and suggests I am to click on (select) the file I want to convert. It sounds all well but it does not work. I really really just want my files back in word, all of them, no matter, because after having to reinstall windows 7 (done by techs) and me having to re-download all my HP drivers, and tools, and other software, which I imagine included adobe reader, now I see some pdf files won't open. It says, "access denied" and boy that really makes me wantt o scream. I am the ONLY user, it is my notebook, I am the administrator so I can't figure out why some files open and some don't. I can't ascertain any difference.
    I would be grateful for any help. This has become just too exhausting. After reinstalling sooooooooo much, then to have to go through this with what is a free application? I say I think not.
    This should NEVER happen with any free application and boy there is NO help to be found. They blow you off the phone fast telling you it's a free application. Then why are you putting in this kind of  stuff that it won't open? This is NOT a shared notebook, it's mine. I am the only user, personal use.
    HP probook, if anyone needs that info.
    Please, will someone help?
    I would be so grateful.
    thanks,
    Gina

    Gee, Pat, this is a  real big help.
    Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
    Maybe someone else has an idea.

    The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
    Thanks for the help. Have a great year.

  • How can I convert from color balance in FCE to color balance in FCPX?

    Let me start off by saying that I've been having an issue with a project in Final Cut Express - a project I'd put a lot of time into and thought I was finished with. Before continuing on, I encourage you to take a look at my other thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18702933?ac_cid=op123456#18702933
    Realizing that there may be no one who can walk me through fixing my project as is, I decided to download a trial version of Final Cut Pro X and see if I could replicate my project there and have more success (after all, it was only a matter of time before I switched anyway).
    So, in my original project in FCE, I keyed a lot of frames with different color balances. I downloaded the Ripple Training color balance effect to do just that, but the sliders are set up differently. In FCE, they range from -1 to 1. In FCPX, they range from 0 to 1. I'm wondering how I can conveniently convert the values from FCE to FCPX. Being terrible at math has made this much harder.
    Just by drawing a diagram, like the following, I can figure out the basics:
    FCE
    [-1]-----[-.5]-----[0]-----[.5]-----[1]
    is equal to:
    FCPX
    [0]-----[.25]-----[.5]-----[.75]-----[1]
    Since I have very specific numbers, not all of which can be easily converted using a basic diagram like the one above, I definitely need some help here. For example, one of the values in FCE is .77. What would that be equal to in FCPX? It's probably something simple, but like I said, I'm stupid when it comes to math.
    Thanks to anyone who can provide me with some help here, although I still hope that I'll end up having no reason to redo everything in FCPX.

    Well, the "math answer" is .885…but I'm afraid that's not likely to be of much help. FCPX and FCE have absolutely nothing in common, including filters land color correction. So even if you sent the time comverting all your numeric values, I'm guessing you'll wind up with a mess and be very frustrated with all the time wasted in the workaround.
    If I read your original FCE thread correctly, I if it were my project., I'd do a test on a short clip in X to see whether yoi can the effects and quality you expect. If you can, great.  Build you project from scratch and learn a new NLE at the same time.
    Good luck.

  • How can i convert from alac to mp3 and export to artist/album hierarchy

    I am trying to populate a 32GB SD Card with music to listen to in my car.  My itunes library is largely in apple lossless format, but the car stereo does not play that format.
    I have created a playlist of all of the music I'd like to have on the SD Card (but its in apple lossless format).
    So what I'd like to do is:
    a)     Bulk convert a large number of apple lossless files to MP3.
    b)     Export the MP3 files to an external Finder folder, organized in Artist/Album hierarchy
    c)     Delete the MP3 files from the itunes library so as to have just the apple lossless version maintain in the itunes library
    Sounds pretty simple, but I'm having a devil of a time trying to figure it out.
    I can find a way to do the conversion and export the MP3 files (and subsequently deleted from the itunes library), but they will not be organized by Artist/Album in the Finder folder.
    Similarly, I can export a bunch of files from itunes to a Finder folder and have it be organized by Artist/Album.
    I just can't do one followed by the other.
    I suppose this would also work if instead of exporting the newly created MP3 files, it would establish a new playlist in itunes with these.  Then, I could just export them and have them then organized by Artist/Album; and then I could delete all of the MP3 files in the playlist.
    Any thoughts or ideas on how to accomplish this goal?  (I do know the manual way of doing this, but am trying to figure out a faster, more elegant way).

    I ask because you wrote, "I just can't do one followed by the other".
    You can. Just do one followed by the other.
    Convert the files to mp3.
    Put them all into a playlist.  A smart playlist with Kind is MP3 and added in last one day will do it for you.
    Select the songs in teh smart playlist
    Run Export to Album Folders script.
    Select all the songs in the playlist then Command Delete to remove them from iTunes.
