LabWindows 5.0 cvi to LabWindows​2012

Question

hi i am trying to start the update of a CVI, LabWindows 5.0 to 2012, I already try to run that same labwin CVI in 2012, with the patch Traditinal NI-DAQ, but serious errors occur if I continue running, the pc rebooted. (things appear as uninitialized variables or undeclared, when some lines actually arrives, they are declaring or initializing)
If anyone has had experience upgrading CVI of NI-DAQ to DAQmx, I would appreciate to give me some advice, one of my questions is where should I start debugging on the Traditional NI-DAQ or already on the current DAQmx driver
manny thanks
hola estoy tratando de empezar la actualizacion de un CVI, de labWindows 5.0 a labWindows 2012, yo ya trate de correr ese mismo CVI en labwin 2012, con el parche Traditinal NI-DAQ, pero surgen errores graves que si lo sigo ejecutando, la pc se resetea.( aparecen cosas como variables no inicializadas o no declaradas, cuando en realidad unos lineas arriva, estas estan declarando o inicializando)
Si alguien a tenido experiencias actualizando CVI del NI-DAQ a DAQmx, le agradeceria que me diera un consejo, una de mis preguntas es donde debo iniciar a depurar, sobre el Traditional NI-DAQ o ya sobre el actual driver DAQmx.
En poco tiempo si lo creen pertinente puedo subir el proyecto que corre actualmente en labwindows 5.0
Gracias.

Transitioning from and old, Traditional DAQ application to a newer IDE with DAQmx is a quite complex process that implies a lot of code rewriting, First of all, I would look whether original application can be ported to CVI2012 and Traditional DAQ with the only work needed to have it functional, in order to minimize the time spent in this activity. Additionally, if you are using an old DAQ device you must firstly check whether it can be driven by DAQmx or not.
Nevertheless, if you decide to port your application to DAQmx, here is the first part of a good white paper on this subject that can be very helpful to you. Consider that DAQmx paradigm is very different from Traditional DAQ one: while this saves you a lot of work while developing an application from scratch, it will nevertheless imply a complete reconsidering of all acquisition / generation processes to migrate them to the new standard.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.
