Is it possible to run a LabVIEW LLB from Version 8.6.1 on a Version 8.6 platform?

We need to move a Version 8.6.1 LLB to a Version 8.6 platform. Assuming our 8.6.1 LLB does not use any 8.6.1 specific features, can I convert it to run under LabVIEW 8.6? Thanks!

Actually this is not entirely true. The VIs itself are independant entitities in an LLB, so the brokeness of one of the VIs does not automatically have any influence on other VIs inside that LLB.
That said, the VIs do get written to the LLB individually, and although writing changes to an LLB is always done on a shadow copy of the LLB, which only replaces the original LLB AFTER the writing has been finished without any errors, there is of course always a chance that writing of a VI itself goes havoc in some ways. This could in principle destroy the integrity of the LLB data structure, and in such a way make the LLB as whole inaccessible. But because of the shadow copy technique it is a rather seldom event.

Is it possible to run my iTunes solely from an external drive?

I'm a college student and don't have my own computer anymore, and I currently use campus computers and library computers (No admin priviledges).
I currently have all my previous iTunes music backed up on my external drive, and I have the iTunes package (The install package you download from Apple) also on there as well.
I'm basically wondering if I can install iTunes onto my external drive, open it from there, and also be able to access my music from there as well?
To give more clarification, I want to be able to go to a college or library computer (These computers are running on Windows XP or 7), be able to open iTunes from my external drive, and be able to manage and use my library from there.
With college and library computers, you don't have the admin rights to install iTunes. However, I do have friends that will let me use their computer to install iTunes onto my external drive (If that is possible). So not being able to install iTunes because of lack of admin priviledges is a barrier I can get through.
How ever I don't know if it's possible to run, and open iTunes from an external drive, and be able to open and use my iTunes library from there.
And help would be great.
Thanks in advance!

how would I go about putting my iTunes library on an external drive?
It depends on where your library is now and how it's organized. If you have all your content and library files in a single iTunes folder, drag the entire iTunes folder (the _entire_ folder, _not_ just the iTunes Music folder) to your desired location. Then hold down the Shift key while launching iTunes. You'll be given a dialog box where you can select the iTunes library you want to use. Navigate to and select the iTunes folder in it's new location. Note that this procedure assumes that all of your tracks are contained in the iTunes Music folder. If they're scattered around your volumes, moving them becomes much more complex. Don't delete the tracks from the old location until you've confirmed that they're working correctly from the external drive
Also is it possible to get past administrator rights, to install iTunes and delete iTunes each time I use a computer that I don't have administrator rights to? That way I can still use iTunes.
No, it's not possible. As with most applications, you need administrator rights to install iTunes.

Is it possible to run my Labview software in Windows 7

Hi there,
I currently use Labview 8.2.1 and Labview DSC 8.2.1.
But within a short time I want to switch from Windows XP to Windows 7.
My question now is:
Is it possible to switch to Windows 7 without any problems?
Will the Labview software still run under Windows 7 without problems, or do I have to download new drivers or other software?
I hope to get a reaction soon.

Hi Cheese,
Official LabVIEW support/compatibility with Windows 7 is explained under the following articles.
National Instruments Product Compatibility for Microsoft Windows 7
Windows Version Compatibility with LabVIEW
LabVIEW Module and Toolkit Compatibility Information
On the forums, people seemed to have mixed reviews about older versions of LabVIEW with newer versions of Windows 7. Another piece of food for thought is Windows 7 (some versions) contain a "Windows XP Mode", which MAY allow you to run this version of LabVIEW in 7 however as the above articles show this is not the supported version. Essentially the XP mode allows virtualisation of XP OS on Windows 7. I've not personally tried it with this version of LabVIEW, but it's just an idea!
Windows Virtual PC
Upgrading to the latest version of LabVIEW will work and is fully supported.
Hope this may help

Is it possible to run a Labview executable on a Windows 8 Phone?

If I create an executable from Labview,will it be possible to run it on a Windows 8 phone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No, as Mike already said.
The reason being that a LabVIEW executable contains binary code that is compiled for the x86 CPU architecture and accesses the Win32 API. Windows Phone typically runs on ARM or RISC CPUs and did only provide a very limited Win32 subset in the past. With the new Windows RT technology it actually moved even further away from Win32 compatibility as it's entire architecture is based on the .Net technology.
So even if you happen to get an Intel Atom based Windows Phone device which would be x86 compatible it couldn't work, since a LabVIEW executable is a Win32 portable executable format not a .Net bytecode image.

Is it possible to run an operating system from an external hard drive?

Really weird question here, but I've always wanted to know this. I have a MBP 13" mid-2012 and I installed a 256GB SSD. I currently have OSX 10.9 and Windows 8.1 installed on the drive, but is it possible to actually run an operating system from an external hard drive. I don't want to install anymore operating systems onto the internal SSD because I don't want to run out of space. So, I'm wondering can I install Linux on an external hard drive, the same way I would on an internal hard drive and just plug it in via USB 3 or Thunderbolt? Is it actually possible to use a computer this way? I know I can boot from a usb stick, so is it possible to actually use a computer with an operating system installed in an external hard drive?

windows don't support being installed on usb mass storage installs like usb

Problem: I have a Perl script in my AIR App's install directory that needs executable permissions on a Mac.
Solution: Chmod the file in my AIR App.
My code looks something like the following:
if (Capabilities.os.indexOf("Mac OS") > -1) {
                    var dlFile:File = File.userDirectory;
                    var _chmod:File = new File("/bin/bash");
                    dlFile = new File(file);
                    var nativeProcess:NativeProcess = new NativeProcess();
                    var chmodStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
                    chmodStartupInfo.executable = _chmod;
                    var args:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
                    args.push("-c");
                     // Trace so I can make sure the command and path are correct in the debugger
                    trace ("\"chmod ugo+x '"+dlFile.nativePath+"'\"");
                    args.push("chmod ugo+x '"+dlFile.nativePath+"'");
                    chmodStartupInfo.arguments = args;
                    nativeProcess.addEventListener(NativeProcessExitEvent.EXIT, onExitError );
                    chmodStartupInfo.executable = new File(file);
                    var process:NativeProcess = new NativeProcess();
                    process.start(chmodStartupInfo);
I really hope this helps someone else.

Can I transfer a LabVIEW VI from version 7 to the latest version?

I will be upgrading LabVIEW on my computer from version 7 to the latest version available.
I have an experiment running on LabVIEW and I do not want any problems to occur when I perform the upgrade. I just wanted to make sure if there would be any problem in upgrading.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

LabVIEW 2013 will open up VIs from LabVIEW 7. Whether or not you will have issues really depends on what functions you used. The File IO got a pretty major overhaul around the 8.0 timeframe (much needed IMOH), so you might some tweaks from that. The other major problem will be if you used NI-DAQ (now called Traditional DAQ) since it is no longer supported or even shipped with new versions of LabVIEW.

How do I run a labview executable from C++

I have an application written in C++ that runs some VIs in the Labview Development Environment. I'm using Labview 6.02 and VisualC++ and the runtime engine is installed. What I want to do is not use the LDE and just call the LV executable from C++. I found some documentation but what I tried is not working for me. What I am looking for is a good example of C++ code that runs a LV executable.
The help would be appreciated.

One possibility is to think of the LV executable the same as an
executable built with any other development tool. Invoke it using the
command function that launches via the command line or a fork command.
Another possibility is to make a DLL instead of an EXE.
Finally, you have the option of using the VI Server through a
ctiveX.
This will work better if you have only one of the executables or the LV
editing environment on a particular PC.

Is it possible to run Adobe CC apps from a portable hard drive on multiple computers?

I work at a university that is not purchasing the Adobe CC license for it's labs. As far as I know Adobe will not create a deal that structures the fees in a way that makes it possible the University to buy into the CC platform.
This puts me a a tough spot as a person who teaches digital media in a University setting. Teaching legacy software (Adobe CS 5) puts our students at an immediate disadvantage.
To get around this issue, I have come up with the idea of having students purchase Adobe CC license short term (or longer if they like) as a textbook. However my lab administrators don't think there is a reasonable way to do this. Right now students would have to log into their User space on the University system, download software each time they came to class. This would not work for many reasons.
Is there a way to make Adobe CC portable, so students can download their own CC software and carry it around with them on a portable hard drive?
Would a system have to be installed on the portable drive or is there a way to run the software from a hard drive using the system on the computer it is attached to?
FYI the students and instructors have have no access to the computer systems, ex administrator or / root, level of the computers. Adding software and/or drivers can take months. Given time , I can get our IT folks to add a limited amount of structure to the system to make it possible for students to use Adobe CC from a portable hard drive if such a solution exists.
Thanks for your thoughts on this .
FYI the labs I need to MAC labs running OS 10.7.X (2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 - 4 GB RAM - 1 TB HDD) -

THe long answer is no.

Run a LabVIEW VI from VB without compiling

I've got a couple of LabVIEW VI's that I want to run from VB without having to compile them. I can run them fine on the development machine using:
    CreateObject("LabVIEW.Application")
When I try this command on another machine that has the LV Runtime Engine installed it returns a run-time error "429: ActiveX component can't create component"
I've read a few posts with similar problems however they don't seem to provide any real solutions.
All tips/help are greatly welcome.
Woody

Hey Woody,
this is an extract from a example of a VB app using LV VIs.
    'Create a reference to LabVIEW
    Set lvApp = CreateObject("ETLKWP.Application")
    'Assign an object reference to VI
    Set VI_open = lvApp.GetVIReference("ETLKWPOpenCommunication.vi")
    Set VI_close = lvApp.GetVIReference("ETLKWPCloseCommunication.vi")
    Set VI_DeviceType = lvApp.GetVIReference("ETLKWPDeviceType.vi")
This code will load the application, here ETLKWP, and three VIs. These VIs will be found by the app on the VI search path. Since one part of the search path is "all subfolders" you can place them in any subfolder of the folder where your app is.
Private Sub DeviceType_Click()
Dim ParamNames(0 To 8) As String
Dim ParamVals(0 To 8) As Variant
   ParamNames(0) = "PrimTarget"
   ParamNames(1) = "PrimIndex"
   ParamNames(2) = "Source"
   ParamNames(3) = "DeviceType"
   ParamNames(4) = "DeviceIndex"
   ParamNames(5) = "Syyy"
   ParamNames(6) = "Hyyy"
   ParamNames(7) = "SerialID"
   ParamNames(8) = "ErrorNumber"
   ParamVals(0) = PrimTarget
   ParamVals(1) = PrimIndex
   ParamVals(2) = 0
   ParamVals(3) = 81
   ParamVals(4) = 1
   Call VI_DeviceType.Call(ParamNames, ParamVals)
   SW_Stand = ParamVals(5)
   HW_Stand = ParamVals(6)
   Serienid = ParamVals(7)
End Sub
This part of code will call the VI DeviceType.vi. The parameters 0 - 4 are controls and 5 - 8 are indicators which are connected with the connector pane. This VI will send a message over a serial connection to an external device and the device will answer with its firmware, hardware and serial information. This information is now available in the VB program.

Is it possible to run my iTunes library from an external hard drive?

As of right now my iTunes library is rapidly out growing my mac's capacity i have 120GB hard drive and am now down to about 20GB of storage due to my ever so growing iTunes library. Is it possible to transfer my entire library and run it off an external hard drive so i can free up space on my mac?

Hi Tnarduzzi,
I just bought a new imac (after having my old G4 Mirror door finally give out), and I am looking to access my music folder from an external HD to this new computer.
I have already set my preferences in the iTunes advanced tab to select the external drive and folder as my "itunes library" but nothing in my music folder appeared when I did that.
I've done as you listed below (to choose library) but when I chose the library, it said "An itunes library file could not be found in folder..."
The folder I am trying to access is an iTunes Library I once had on my internal hd, but moved to an external drive.
What seems to work is going to Edit and then clicking "add to library." Is this another correct way to access my music from the external drive, while keeping all changes (ie addition and changes to library) off the internal drive?
Are updates, addition, etc really going to the external, or am I working with two different libraries (external and internal) but I don't know it?
Looking forward to hearing from you or anyone who can shed light for me.
Thanks!

Need to convert labview files from version 4.0 to 8.6

I have a few labview .iv files that I need to convert to version 8.6. They were created in version 4.0. Can I download an intermediate verison of labview to process the conversion? Or can i order a cd?

Typically, you would need access to several version of LabVIEW to do the conversion.
Open the 4.0 VI in 5.1, save.
Open the 5.1 VI in 7.1, save.
Open the 7.1 VI in 8.6, save.
This example uses the most popular versions - ones you are most likely to encounter. 6.i was also popular, and might work somewhere in there.

Is it possible to run LabVIEW 7.1 and 8.5 under the same Windows installation?

We have an older version of LabVIEW (7.1) which includes functionality for Event Notifications and the base version of LV8.3, which does not seem to contain this functionality.
Is it possible to run both of these from the same Windows Installation? If not I plan to create a new partition and a new Windows installation just to accomodate the two of them.

Something else to consider is windows compatibility. If you are running LabVIEW on Vista, I would highly discourage installation of Lv 7.1 and 8.5 on the same machine (even if they were different partitions), since there are some significant issues in terms harware compatibility.I am running windows 7.1 and 8.2.1 on a test station with no problems, but the OS is Win XP. My biggest gripe about the dual software system is when a v 7.1 files is opened up by 8.2.1. There is not a system to prevent it from happening, and once we accidentally save a 7.1 app in 8.2,1, going back to 7.1 is a big headache.

Is it possible to open a LabView VI in a Webbrowser or an HTML-File?

I want to know if it is possible to run a LABVIEW vi (Version 7.0) in a Webbrowser or a HTML-File.
Are there Browser Plugins or other possibilities to create Self - running VI`s ?

LV from Version 6.1 up has the capabilities to support remote panels via a WEB Browser: See the tutorials under
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/learningcenter.nsf/03f7c60f17aad210862567a90054a26c/2ad405a06ebed71586256c4e00621c73?OpenDocument
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/8BC90A5F744A482886256BA000681713?opendocument
All you need is the LV Runtime Engine installed on the machine where you want to view the running vi.
Additionally you can create standalone running vi's with the LV Application Builder which creates LV executables. These executables are also compatible with the remote panel functionality.
