Older version of LabView available?

I would like to put together an "antique" data aquisition system utilizing
an older DAQ board and an IBM AT machine that I have kicking around. It's
just sort of a hobby thing rather than a serious instrumentation project.
I have the board (NI Lab-PC-1200) and the computer (IBM AT) and was hoping
to find a version of LabView that would run under MS-DOS 6.0 and I guess I
would be looking for some drivers too.
I currently have LabView 6.0 for use with some 21st century equipment, but
it will only run under windows. When I called up NI, my local sales guy felt
that my current license would probably allow me the "right" to use the older
version, but he wasn't sure that locating the actual software would still be
possible.
Does anyone o
ut there have some old discs they would be willing to sell?
LabView is currently sold with NI-DAQ on the same disc. Would I need to find
LabView + NI-DAQ+Lab-PC-1200 drivers and load them all separately?
In the event that I can't find any of this, I suppose that it would be
possible to do register level programming using C. Does anyone have any old
code that they would like to share?

LabVIEW has never had a DOS version. You'll have to use something like Quickbasic or the old LabWindows for DOS. Before you spend a lot of time, make sure that the old NI-DAQ for DOS supports the Lab-PC-1200.

Event structures in older versions of labview?

Can anyone tell me how to create a workaround for a 'value change' event structure in an older version of labview? I have a student version of LabVIEW 6i and need to create a queued buffer from each value change. Thank you.

Ah, you're only one release away from the event structure. That's too bad.
You're going to have to implement a Polling loop that continuously checks the user inputs. Make sure you add a Wait function to the loop (~100ms) because that will act as your chance for the user to make changes. You can use shift register(s) to keep the previous loop's values and compare to get a bunch of Value Change booleans. If you want a specific case for the specific events, then you can group all of your Value Changes in to an array and act upon the ones that are True via a Case Structure.
The Event Structure only pulls a single event per loop and has a queue of events to handle for following loops. You might encounter multiple value changes in a single loop if the user clicks fast enough, or you trigger value changes. To avoid losing the trailing events, you should probably have a For loop within the Polling loop that handles all True values. Either that, or have a consumer loop that handles all of your events.
James, I swear I'm not picking on you today
You can set the maximum number of events alowed in the event queue per event in the edit event dialog box. Check box and int fields in the lower right side.
6.i didn't have a "Value (Signaling)" property- (a subject of some CLAD exam questions not that you suggested it)
Student editions could not use 6.i events. From 7.0 or 7.1 through 2011 Student Edition could use but not edit event structures. 2012 and on Event Structures are available in "All Versions" of LabVIEW- at the time. I haven't looked into the newer license options.
On to licensing options. (Not a lawyer! consult your Legal Dept!)
If you are not doing work towards earning a educational certificate you should not be using Student Edition. And, in some cases (Like working on a student project with commercial investment) not even then!
The Home Edition is also a new option. It is intended to enable fast "Proof of Concept" development or development for your sole non-comercial use.
LabVIEW Full and Professional are for comercial use and have a "Home Use License Agreement" clause attached. If your company owns a LabVIEW License you CAN install a copy on a "Home PC" for the limited use of aiding your employer (who paid for the license) such things would arguably enclude "Training"
NI is not totally opposed to negotiating "Exceptional" agreements for mutually beneficial reasons. Youl'd better bring a justification better than "I can't afford it" Go find some investors and buy a license in that case. And Yes, until the moderators take this down, I did at one time have a LabVIEW license for exclusively engaging the LabVIEW Community (Forums and NI Sponsored events use only- LAVA was not encluded) I'm not sure if such a deal could be negotiated in the future. In Fact, The Home Edition would have been less costly.

Can we use latest version of Add-Ons and Toolkits with older version of LabVIEW core?

Hi every body
I'm new to LabVIEW
I have a question .
Can we use (indeed install) latest version of Add-Ons and Toolkits(for example 2009 or 8.6.1 version) with older version of LabVIEW core(for example LabVIEW 8.6)?
No problem ?!
I have LabVIEW 8.6(Evalution) and I want istall Real Time Module 2009.

I think perhaps 8.6 and 8.6.1 is compatible. But I am 100% sure that 2009 and 8.6.(1) is not downwards compatible
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

Removing older versions of LabVIEW

I have taken over a development machine and updated it to 8.6.1. Can I safely remove all older versions of LabVIEW? (8.2 and 8.5) These older versions seem to be giving me problems with the front pannel on older VIs when I use the 8.6. Thanks.

What kind of problems? If you have problems opening old VIs in 8.6, you might want to keep using the old version until the issue is identified and solved.
(Once you are happy with 8.6, you can uninstall the old versions but it does not hurt to keep them around. For example if you have a very old VI, you might not be able to open it directly in 8.6)

If you're looking to get a more through uninstall, then Revo Uninstaller is a good way to go. That will run the regular NI uninstallers and then search for leftover registry entries and files. You can also use MSI Blast.

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?

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.

With the new version of ITune, I do not know how to add a podcast to a playlist. The "add to playlist" which was easily found on older versions is not available. Your help will be appreciated.

I have difficulties with the new version of ITune, which I never experienced in the older versions.
1. I do not know how to transfer a new radio podcast to a playlist. The previous option "show in playlist" does not appear.
2. I do not know how to download an older podcast from the list of available ones offered for download. The latest one only is downloading, none other, not even the most recent but one.
Your help will be greatly appreciated in these difficulties.
I thank you in anticipation.

Is it possible to open a VI using an older version of LabVIEW, and if so how?

As stated in the title. I have installed all the run-times from lv6 to lv8.6, but cannot open any VIs that have been compiled in a more recent version of LabVIEW. We run (on different computers) lv5, lv6.1, and lv8.5. Upgrading some of the older machines is not possible since they cannot handle the required OS.
Is there any way to open a VI created/compiled in a higher version of LabVIEW? This is proving to be a major sticking point with us and our ability to transfer VIs between computers.
James
Never say "Oops." Always say "Ah, interesting!"

Hi James,
I was able to use VI server to invoke LV 6.1 VI's using LV 7.0 without issue.
After discovering this and mentioning it in a post somewhere, Rolf Kalbermatter indicated that was expected. and I should not be suprised.
So....
Vi Server may help you.
James Mamakos wrote:
Is there a separate place for me to post VIs to be converted? What's a ballpark figure for the maximum file size i could put on to be converted?
Do you know if the LabVIEW developers can/will create a way to overcome this problem rather than having to convert a VI through all the intermediate versions?
To the best of knowledge NO.
For each versino of LV there isw code included that runs behind the scenes when you open a VI from an earleir version which replaces old functions with the new versions. This is called Mutation code. To accomplish its task it has to know everything that changed between version X and Y. Since it is possible to baby step the versions up and the number of user that jump multiple major versions is small, I don't think any effort will go into that work.
THe largest attachment I have managed to upload was 3 or 4 Meg.
Just trying to help,

Adding second language while keeping English as default + are older versions of Firefox available for download (wary of newest due to feedback I've read)

I have not installed Firefox. Thinking about it and it sounds good until I see all the problems people are having with crashing and connecting etc. That is why I want to know if an older version is available for download. I would feel more comfortable.
Also if do install, want to be able to read / write Russian language but not lose English as the primary language by default. Is this possible?

You can install additional language packs.

Are older versions of photoshop available?

Can I buy and/or download an older version of photoshop?

Yes, CS6 is still available. That is quite an old version by now.
For older versions you may have to resort to ebay, for example. But be very, very careful - lost of hacked versions are still sold.
If you are a CS2 license holder, you may download CS2 from Adobe's website.

Installing older versions of labview after newer versions.

I Just installed LV 8.5 (dev suite) on clean machine.
Notice that 8.5 will not read LV 5.0 VIs.
I Would therefore like to install LV 7.0 (dev suite) (over the 8.5 installation).
Any known issues?

Moreover, you may encounter problems with the run-time engine when you build the EXE of LV7.0 code & try to run it in the same PC. It may/will say that the application requires an old run-time engine to be installed to get it running.
Always it is better to install from an older version to a latest version.

In general, yes. Others with more experience than I do might be able to help.
I think there is a chance you can get some older versions of LabVIEW to work on Win7. There are occasional message threads where people have asked about a particular version and others said they have been able to get them to work. Just that official support for older versions of LabVIEW for a Win7 OS has ended.

How to download older versions of keynote

i have the newest version of keynote but i need version 4.0.4. how do i get it?

I would not expect Adobe to have downloads of older versions of PS available, though could be wrong on this. If you have your S/N and you registered your copy of PS, Adobe will have a record of that - look in your Adobe ID User Account. I do not know how far back Adobe offers replacement discs for their programs, but they might be able to sell you a replacement disc for your version. To do so, they will need your Adobe User ID and your S/N, so have those handy, when contacting them.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS always guard all installation discs, and never throw any away. I still have mine from ver. 2.5, plus every other Adobe program that I own. This goes back for decades, and is probably over 100 CD/DVD's.
