Old version of Labview: Adding a frame to sequence

I need to add a frame to a sequence in an old (Labview 3.0 for a Mac) version of Labview. I have no documentation for this version of labview. There is no sort of border pop-up menu with an "add frame after" feature.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

The border popup is definitely how it is done. It should have an Add
Before and a Add after. These may be obvious, but make sure that you
are using the Command-Click to get the menu, and also check to see if
the VI is locked. Unlock it using VI Info by popping up on the VI icon.

Using call library function on a dll file created in an old version of labview

So I'm trying to update an old labview program to work in labview 2012. Everything converted over just fine but labview will always crashoverwrote some while using a library function in a DLL that was compiled using labview 8.5. Labview exits, stating that it vital memory area. It passes an array of data to the library call and an empty array for output. I thought I could get around this problem by changing my code to initialize the array being passed in so that it would be large enough to hold all the expected output. Now instead of overwritting areas of memory it shouldn't, I get a pop up message that says:
fatal internal error
memorymanager.cpp line 406
8.5.1.f5
So it appears because I don't have the ability to recompile the DLL file it runs off of the 8.5 runtime instead of the more recent one. Is there any thing I can do about this?

So I've been trying to figure out a way around this on my own while waiting on a response. From what I'm reading, a dll created in one version of the labview runtime can't be used by a different labview runtime. Am I correct in this? I feel like I must be mistaken since that's basically the opposite of how a dll should work. If nothing else works I have access to the original code for the DLL but it requires the control and simulation toolkit. I would like to avoid having to recompile the DLL since it was put in to a DLL to avoid the need for the toolkit to begin with.
Your problem most likely is that you try to pass native datatypes to the DLL function? That only can work if the caller and callee use the same LabVIEW runtime engine. Otherwise the memory block created in the memory manager of the caller will be accessed by the memory manager in the callee and bad things happen. Instead you should define the DLL function to use standard C datatypes (Pointer to C array) and also make sure to allocate the according buffer in the caller for all output array parameters.
An even more elegant way would be to completely abandon the DLL approach and call the according functions directly in LabVIEW. Then you won't have the problems about mismatched runtime engines. Passing C array pointers to a DLL is less performant than passing native datatypes, but if you use native datatypes you have to make sure the DLL is compiled in the same LabVIEW version as the one you call it from.

Problem with an old version of LabVIEW 4.0.1

Hi,
I'm rather new to this, so I appreiciate any help that you can give me. Our lab has an old computer running Windows 95 and LabVIEW v. 4.0.1. I would like to take one of the progams on this computer and run it on a newer computer in a different lab. This newer computer is running Windows 2000. I installed LabVIEW 4.0.1 on the Win2000 machine, and then copied the needed file onto this machine. However, when I try to run the program, I get the following error messages:
Error 7 occurred at Open File+.vi: Open File
Possible reasons:
LabVIEW: File not found.
OR
NI-488: Non-existant Board.
after that error I get this one:
Error - 10401 occured at AO Group Config.
Possible reasons:
NI-DAQ:LV The specif
ied device is not a National Instruments product, or the driver does not support the device (e.g., the driver was released before the device was supported).
Now, there are a couple reasons that I can think of that would cause these problems. First, LabVIEW 4.0.1 is not compatable with Windows 2000. Second, I had to install the Windows 2000 driver for my PCI-MIO-16XE-10 board, and this driver is not compatable with LabVIEW 4.0.1. Third, that there is something else that I need to copy over from the old computer. Once again, thank you to anyone that can help me out.

You pretty much summed it up. NI-DAQ which is compatible with LabVIEW
4.0 won't support Windows 2000 almost certainly. And NI-DAQ supporting
Windows 2000 won't have VI support for LabVIEW 4.0. There was a
significant change in the way LabVIEW interfaced to NI-DAQ between
NI-DAQ 5.x and 6.x which happens to be around LabVIEW 4.x as well. So
you are most probably stuck with either a LabVIEW
upgrade or downgrading
to a Windows 9x computer.

I have upgraded to newer version of labview, and the older versions of LavVIEW are now piling up. Can I uninstall the older versions? if yes how?

Do I have to keep all the old versions of LabVIEW as I did not uninstall the older versions, but only downloaded the latest version of labview from the website and installed it. A new version and icon is installed on my PC now. What can I do?

You asked "Do I have to keep all the old versions...". Of course not. You can do whatever you want. Each version of LabVIEW installs in its own directory, which is what allows you to keep multiple versions installed in case you need to support programs written in earlier version that cannot be upgraded yet for whatever reason. Conflicts may arise if you install older versions later than new ones and you install the libraries for the hardware interfaces like VISA and such. Older versions of these libraries sometimes cause problems with newer versions of LabVIEW.
If you do not want multiple versions, common practice is to completely uninstall the current version before installing the new one. If you have more than two versions but only want the latest, simply uninstall the older ones from the main NI installer. Depending on how old the versions are that you are uninstalling something with the new one may break so you may need to repair that installation. You may just want to simply uninstall all NI software and then just do a clean install of the latest version. That will likely be your best course of action.

Anybody have an old copy of labview for 68K Macs they don't need?

I have a few NI NUBUS cards I wanted to use with a 68K version of Labview
just to mess around. Anybody have an old 68K compatible version of Labview
in the US they dont want (I think 4.x is the last version made).

Hi Lastmile,
I cannot provide you with an old version of LabVIEW, but hopefully I can help you find some useful documentation. Take a look at the Manuals search on our website to try to locate specific manuals. When looking for older versions, I suggest searching by the year of release.
LabVIEW for Macintosh Upgrade Notes (version 4.1)
LabVIEW Release Notes for Macintosh (version 4.1)
LabVIEW Function and VI Reference Manual (version 4.1)
LabVIEW User Manual (version 5: should be very similar)

Adding a "Counter" to an old version of CS3

I am working with an old version of Adobe Contribute CS3 (v 4.1). Is there a way I can put a "counter" to show how many hits my website receives? I've looked everywhere in the software, but can't find what I am looking for...Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

In the menu choose - Insert -> HTML Snippet
Copy paste your code.

Location of old version 8.5.1 in LabVIEW 2009

I am using LV2009 SP1 version and made a code for distribution as a installer.
In preparing the distribution file, I was request to insert LV8.5.1.
When I inserted that version, the application builder couldn't recognize the CD though CD was okay.
I don't know which component(s) is related to the verion 8.5.1 though NI system component is required on the builder dialog.
I checked Measurement and Automation Explorer as attached in the following.
Can you tell me how to check the component of old version?

What I meant was did you insert the correct disk/release of the 8.6 disk it was requesting? There are 4 or 5 disks.It can be picky about which one it needs. When that happened to me, I installed it once and it archived it for future builds.

Using old version iMovie and import from new camcorder

I got a new camcorder which won't let me import to the old version 4.0.1 Does anyone have any idea how to move the clips to the old version from the 7.1.4 version which is sooo infuriating. The old one was soooo simple to use as I don't need 90% of the NEWER features. I also miss being able to turn one frame into a photo.

I got a new camcorder which won't let me import to the old version 4.0.1
As an iLife '08 owner you are also entitled to a free download of iMovie HD v6.0.4 if you want it.
Does anyone have any idea how to move the clips to the old version from the 7.1.4 version which is sooo infuriating.
You can open the named_Event folder containing the iMovie '08 imported clips and "drag 'n drop" them to an open previous version of iMovie or you can open the previous version of iMovie, select the "Import" option, navigate to the named_Event folder, select the file(s) you want, and import it/them to the older application.
I also miss being able to turn one frame into a photo.
JPEG images are automatically created in the named_Project folder any time a single frame is selected/added to an iMovie '08 project. They can also be created by QT Pro ($30) or MPEG Streamclip (free) directly from a source video clip.

Old version Source code to .exe file conversion

I have a programming GUI source code (written in an older version of LabVIEW). Can it be supported by LABview Evaluation version 10.0.1 and be converted to an .exe file. How can I convert and use source code file for programming? What do I need to convert and how?
I'm new to LABview. Please help!!

2010 can open VIs written in LabVIEW 6.0 or newer. Just double click on the top level VI. You will also need to install any hardware drivers (i.e. GPIB, DAQ, etc) that the old program used.
With the evaluation version, you can create an exe but it will have a watermark on the front panel.

Identifying and Converting from an older version of LabVIEW

I have an old .vi program that I am trying to access and run now. I don't know what version of LabView it was written in but I do know it came off of a Windows 95 computer.
Any Suggestions?
Will Huntley
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You said "trying to". Does that mean you've been unsuccessful? On what OS are you trying to run it?
When you open an old VI in a newer version of LabVIEW, if the VI isn't too old, then it will open. If you close the VI you'll get a dialog asking you to save it. The "explain changes" will tell you the version of LabVIEW used to write the VI.
If you cannot open the VI because it's too old, and your LabVIEW is too new (e.g., opening a LabVIEW 5.x VI with LV2011), then you can post a request in the Version Conversion board. If the code is really old (e.g., LabVIEW 3.x or earlier), chances are you will not be able to get it upconverted since versions that old require a special toolkit from NI that is not publicly available.

How do I clean up iTunes Mobile Applications folder that has old versions of apps?

I am using the latest iTunes 11.0.3 on my recently new iMac. Previously I had iTunes on my MacPro. The media folder was located on one of the extra (non-boot) volumes on the MacPro (MP). When I got my iMac I changed (in the Advanced section of Preferences) the location of the media folder to point to the same folder on the MP volume as I had been using. Everything seems to work fine. I can plug in my iPhone 4s and sync which goes thru a backup step.
I was then poking around in the iTunes media folder on the MP and found that the Mobile Applications (MA) folder was full of older versions of the apps on my iPhone. They dated back to 2009, 2010 and most were 2011. A few were 2012 or 2013. I would like to get rid of the old versions as they take up space. Being that old I doubt they are useful for anything anyway. But my question is how?
I have read and searched for other threads on this topic and have not found a solution. It appears that iTunes is supposed to toss old versions into the trash. I suspect it is doing that now but for some reason has lost track of these older version. The problem here is I don't know what happened.
My inclination is to take all these app .ipa files and dump them... then do an iPhone sync and have it repopulate this MA folder. But I wasn't sure iTunes would do that. So I selected one app that is currently installed on my iPhone, found several older .ipa files in the MA folder that correspond to that app and deleted all of them. I then sync'd my iPhone and watched it go thru the Backup step. When it was done I checked my MA folder but it still had NO .ipa file for that app. Why is that? To make sure the backup step didn't place it someone unexpected, I did a system wide search for that app name (the core part of the name, not including any version numbers, etc) but it found only one match. It was old (2011) located on an all-together different MA folder so did not come from this iPhone sync.
I wish someone would clearly document what goes on during an iPhone sync when the backup location is iTunes (not iCloud). Does iTunes store the current version of each app in the MA folder? I didn't see that happen in my example above.
What does it mean to remove all .ipa files from your MA folder? It would seem that it doesn't matter EXCEPT for apps no longer available in the App Store. Otherwise I could re-install them, right?
What can I delete safely without ill consequences?
How can i indentify what to remove if I should keep the latest version around?
Help would be appreciated.
To be clear:
* I use iTunes to store my Backups, not iCloud.
* I have used Consolidate after making sure that Keep iTunes Media Folder Organizaed is checked and Copy File to iTunes Media folder is checked. It did not help here.
* Given the dates of the .ipa files in my MA folder, this problem pre-dated my recent addition of my iMac.
* I believe I'm using a new local (to my iMac) iTunes library file but my media folder is on the MP as described above. When I access iTunes app on my MP it too accesses the same media folder. It is used primarily for adding music and movies to, not iPhone apps as I now sync on the iMac.

ITunes has been a disaster for me. It is filled with all sorts of things and there is no way to reorganize any of it. I'm forced to use iTunes because I have an iPhone but the experience has convinced me that it is best to avoid Apple products and I would recommend that course for others.
The operative word here is "avoid." For products like the iPhone and iPad for which Apple has a superior product there is no choice. The problem is Apple control. That means that everything is compatible with everything else which is good. It also means that everything is limited to products that serve Apple's bottom line, which is questionable.
Hopefully, now that Apple's creative genius has sadly left us, other companies will step forward to create products that will allow us to avoid the complications of Apple. I have found iTunes to be the principal complication. iTunes regularly updates itself, practically every Sunday, and then I have to restart my computer which interrupts all the tasks that I have underway.
Despite all these updates I don't use iTunes except for the iPhone and even that is problematic. The entire experience makes me glad that I don't have an Apple since it must be very difficult for Apple users to work with Apple constantly demanding updates and restarts and proprietary software and the like.
If you're not an Apple customer, but you've been listening their hype with their execs pacing a stage clad in jeans, then read this and heed. My experience with iTunes is a warning for all. Watch out. Apple is not your friend. It's a corporation bent on control, monopoly power and coerced profiteering. We may all soon need nets to save us when Apple drives us out the window.

Multiple versions of labview on 1 computer

Hello,
I have just purchased LV 8.2 and am about to install it on my computer. The old version of LV I currently have on my computer is 7.1. Can I run both versions on the same computer or is it beneficial to take off LV 7.1 first before installing the new 8.2. Any opinions?

Azazal,
You can certainly run both versions on the same computer. I have 6.1, 7.1, 8.0, and 8.20 installed on this machine and I regularly have more than one version open at the same time.
However, Paulo is very correct by saying that toolkits typically only install for one version of LabVIEW and that you need to be careful not to open your VIs in the wrong version of LabVIEW. If you were to open and save a LabVIEW 7.1 VI in 8.20 you would be unable to open it again in 7.1.

I've managed to get back to Pages 4.3 and delete the downgrade Pages 5, which makes a total mess of any doc prepared with it, but how to I get back to the old version of Pages on my iPad so that I can work while I am away from home.

I've managed to get back to Pages 4.3 on my iMac and delete the downgrade Pages 5, which makes a total mess of photo-rich documents prepared with Facing Pages (most of mine), but how to I get back to the old version of Pages on my iPad so that I can work on sections away from home. At least on my old PC, Word maintained compatability with old versions. Beginning to regret having switched.

Thanks for your help. What is really irritating is that Apple give a big hurray about what they have added as "new" in Pages 5 (most of it pretty useless) without telling you of the myriad things they have deleted. If they had shown the list your gave the link to, I doubt may regular users would risked going to Mavericks with its auto upgrade. My partner got the message in time and is sticking with the earlier operating systems and Pages on Mac and iPad. Lucky girl.
I have found a way to use my iPad to add chapters written while on the move to reports on my iMac Pages 4.3. If I write it on the new Pages on the iMac (don't seem to be able to revert there), the send the report as an email in WORD format (not Pages) and download it in the Text Editor, then cut and paste into the story on the iMac. Hardly elegant but it works.

A user uploads a new pdf (using Dreamweaver) but still gets the old version back in browser.

She downloads the file from the site, and gets the old version of the file instead of the one she just uploaded. I tried it myself and everything is done correctly: the new file is on the server but download keeps displaying the old version. Dreamweaver ticks off the bytes as they are going upstream. I can RDP to the server and see that the newer version is there (by datetime stamp). She is using IE 8 if relevant.
This only happens with pdf, no caching is turned on in IIS6 - all content updates are instant.
I have gone in to the temp internet files and deleted the cached version of the file and emptied the trash (Win XP) but it still serves the old version.
This issue has been reported by other users, but I thought it was user error until it was staring me in the face.
My final verification was to upload the new document with a new name, delete the old document, and rename the new name to the old name - after that it delivered the new document
How do I tell the (non-tech) user fix this?
I've seen references to this on other sites (now that I know it is real, I dug deeper) but the solutions proposed mostly seem to involve changing the query string by adding somthing to the end of it.
This is out of reach of my user.
I can't be the first person to encounter this right?
And note that I went into the server... the document was uploaded, and IIS caching is off.
I was told by someone here (and I can't reproduce it in my office) that I should tell the user to go to Adobe Reader | Edit | Preferences | Internet.
Then tell her to uncheck all three boxes (display in browser, allow fast, and allow speculative)
But I don't see how that would fix it - remember that I deleted the pdf from the internet cache and that didn't solve it.
Thanks,
-Chris C. 1972

I've faced this before too.
I've tried many different approaches but the most reliable way I've ever found of handling it is to rename the new PDF each time (e.g. adding the revision date into the filename) and update the link in the web page to point to the renamed PDF.
Works every time.
