Opening a labview 8.5 file with labview 8.21

Hello,
I was working on a project at home with labview 8.21, I nearly finished this project but I addes some stuff at school where they have labview 8.5.
Today I wanted to open the labview file on my computer, but It gave an error:
labview load error 9: Vi version 8.5 is newer then labVIEW version 8.2.1.
Is there any way I can open the file on my computer?
Or can I save the file at school als a 8.2.1 file?
thnx in advance,
Seppe

Hi Seppe,
just save it in school using "Save to previous" from the file menu...
Best regards,

How to get string (specified by line and column) from txt file with labview

Hi everyone
How to get string (specified by line and column) from txt file with labview
thx
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As far as I know, a text file has no columns. Please be more specific. Do you mean something like the 5th word on line 4, where words are separated by a space, and lines are separated by a newline character? You could the Read from Spreadsheet String function and set the delimiter to a space. This will produce a 2D array of strings. Then use index array and give the line number and column number.

Is anybody use Hyper File with LabView?

Is anybody use Hyper File with LabView?
I Have a project that need to conect to a hyper file data base Made by PCsoft.
Thanks

I have never used HyperFile, but a quick check of the company's website indicated that there are ODBC drivers available for it so it should be a simple matter connecting through ADO.

Opening Canon 6D .CR2 raw files with CS5 Extended

Can't open Canon EOS 6D raw files with CS5. What is the minimum I need to do to open Canon EOS 6D .CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS5 Extended version 12.1 x64, and Brige CS5 version 4.1.0.54, and Camera Raw version 6.7.0.339? I would rather not have to go through the hassle of first converting all files with the Adobe DNG - is there another option? Can I upgrade my Adobe software?

Im having the same problem, and i use CS6
Do you know if CC can open 6D .CR2 files?
Thanks!

How to read columns of a Microsoft Excel .csv file with LabVIEW?

This should be simple. Any ideas on how to read an Excel file with csv extension using LabVIEW?
Thanks!

Use the Read From SpeadSheet File.VI which you can find on the FILE I/O pallette.
"Read From Spreadsheet File
Reads a specified number of lines
or rows from a numeric text file beginning at a specified character offset and
converts the data to a 2D, single-precision array of numbers. You optionally can transpose the
array. The VI opens the file before reading from it and closes it afterwards.
You can use this VI to read a spreadsheet file saved in text format. This VI
calls the Spreadsheet String
to Array function to convert the data."
The CSV file is essentially a text file which uses commas as delimiters in the files structure.

Is it possible to create a vi-file in an .exe file with labview 6.1i? and how to create it?

Hello,
I want to create a vi-file into an exe-file but don't know how to do it with labview 6.1i.
Maybe somebody here can give me hints to do it!
thank you very much!

To build EXEs you need the application builder. To see if you have it, open the tools menu. If you have an option named "Build application or shared library", you're OK. Just open it and you can set up your app there. To run this application, a computer would have to have the LV run-time engine, which can be downloaded from the NI site. For the first time you deploy the app, you should use the app builder to create an installer, which will install the run-time engine as well as your app.
If you don't have it you can purchase it seperately from NI.Message Edited by tst on 03-17-2005 10:42 AM

Print text file with labview 2011 and windows 7

I am having some strange problem, hope someone out there knows the solution.
We have a labview program running under windows xp, the program runs some test and print label from a local label printer. Last week, I have to upgrade the computer to windows 7 and all the sudden the printer will not print any more.
The print vi is very simple. I am using the report function and I am attaching the diagram of that vi below.
If I use windows notepad to open that small text file, I can print fine. This means the printer driver itself is OK. However, if I print the same text file through Labview printing vi, from the printer's task list, I can see it does not recognize the char. From the attached png file, the top one is the task from notepad, it shows 2 pages and the bottom one is from the labview, it becomes 33 pages.
For the printer part, I use Generic / Text Only printer driver which comes from windows itself. And I am aslo attaching a sample of the text file, there are quite a lot of special char, it is for print bar code. When I tried to use labview print text vi to print general text from my computer to a regular printer, the vi works. So it seems Labview print can not handle the special char? Although it worked many years under windows XP in the past.
Welcome to any suggestions!
Thanks

where to check RAW or TEXT? the print report vi only asks for file name and printer name.
When I print from notepad, everything just goes by default. This is a label printer, so I never need to specify printing parameter such as size, orientation, etc in the past
Famous last words go something like this: "...never had to do that before." Maybe you have to do that now. It's worth at least comparing the defaults settings for bothe generic drivers. It could save you a lot of headache if you notice something different.

LabVIEW created .DAT file with saving only new data on existing files

I can successfully create and save a .DAT file using LabView and Diadem. The save command I am using (in Labview) only overwrites existing files, I would like it to save only the new data from the last save. Overall I would like to save the data every 1hr and since my test will last for many hours, the further along in the test the longer it would take to save the full file. I know Diadem has the capability to save in such a manner, so I have thought about after I write to Diadem have a small Diadem application save periodically, but I haven't found a way to save the .DAT file, with out any signals coming into the save function. I have attached the example .DAT file creater and saver I am using to figure it out. thanks for your help!

Howdy New Guy -
I am not sure if you are looking to append to a file, or if you would
like to overwrite a file. In either case, you can take a look at
the "Append To File.vi" example for DIAdem.
Either way, you may be experiencing problems because you are only using
the "DIAdem Simple File Write.vi" (found on the DIAdem >> DAT
Files palette). Instead, you can use the "DIAdem File Write.vi"
(located on teh DIAdem >> DAT Files >> DAT Files Advanced
palette). This VI can be set to overwrite or append to file.
I hope this helps in your development!

Can't open the driver written by LabView5 with LabView 8.6

http://www.oinst-software.com/OIRI/docs/LV5drv/lv5drv.htm
I would like to use these drivers for oxford instruments with LabView 8.6. (I have the latest version of LabView, only.) But these drivers are written by LabView 5. So, I cannot open the drivers with the latest version. When opening, the alert occurs "VI version is too early to convert the current LabView version." In this case, is it no way to open these drivers. Does anyone help to convert these drivers for use with the latest version ?

Dear Dennis Knutson,
Thank you for your response.
I need to use immediately the attached two drivers at least.
Magnet Power Supply - IPS/PS
Level Meter - ILM
Is it posible to convert them for ver.8.6 ?

How to creat the interface of auto CAD file with labview

Hi
I have been controling 2-axis Piezo motor with labview. Now I have to use the dwg or dxf file to move the piezo controller axis. How I can transform the dwg or dxf file into decimal number 1, -1 to create interface with my labview.

Hi Nusrat,
So it sounds like you want to create a CAD drawing and then control your piezo motor via LabVIEW by moving the CAD drawing? Is that correct?
If that is correct - I don't know of a way to do this I'm afraid. I don't think it's really possible.
The only potential way to do this is to use SolidWorks as your CAD program and then convert the SolidWorks drawing into an STL file, which can then be imported into LabVIEW as a 3D picture control. I can't think of any other way to achieve this.
These examples might help you:
LabVIEW Interface VIs for SolidWorks
STL Geometry in 3D Picture Control
The Pitch Perfect Tuner
Develop Motion Applications with RIO and SolidWorks
NI SoftMotion for SolidWorks
Connect NI LabVIEW and DS SolidWorks
I hope that helps.

Problems with installation of system and support files with Labview 5.1 on Windows NT.

I make installations disks with Labview 5.1 on Windows NT and I need to add some system files and other support files. When I'm in App Builder I choose them in "Add support files" and I mark their "custom directory destination" (c:\winnt\system32, c:\est\base) but, when I test the installation I see that files don't save in this directory, they save in 'C:\c\winnt\system32' and 'C:\c\est\base'. How can I solve this problem?

Jorge,
I know there were some problems with the LabVIEW 5.1 Application Builder that were fixed in the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Updater. I recommend you download that update to see if this fixes the problem. Also, double-check to make sure you have typed the file paths correctly. If you continue to have problems after installing the 5.1.1 updater, please let me know, and please attach your .bld file so I can examine it for any problems.
Thanks for your patience on this issue, and have a pleasant day.
Sincerely,

How to export XY graph picture to clipboard (or file) with labview 6i

Hello,
I would like to export XY graph picture to clipboard (or file) to insert it in a word document using labview 6i
I found example for labview 8 using invokenode but not with labview 6i
But this invokenode doesn't exist in labview 6i : here's what I found in labview 6i
Does anyone knows how to use this one ?
thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would recommend you use Write PNG File.vi instead of Write JPG File.vi unless the place you are using it cannot handle PNGs. The PNG will be much better quality and should be about the same size for this type of image.
