Opening LabView version 5.1 VIs in LabView Version 8.5

We are trying to open VIs saved in LabView version 5.1 with LabView version 8.5 and we are getting error code 10.  The error message states that version 5.1 is too old to be opened in version 8.5, yet on the knowledge base files seem to indicate that it should be okay.  Can you tell us how we can open these older files in LabView 8.5?
Thank you,
Keir Neuman

You can't. The earliest that 8.5 can open is version 6 VIs. See http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=271171. If you have any version of LabVIEW between 6.0 and 8.2, you can open them with that, save them and then open them with 8.5.

  • Labview 2013 missing smtp VIs from Labview 2011

    We are upgrading to LabView 2013 and any VI that we open that uses SMTP is broken. It seems that NI updated the SMTP functionality but do we have to rewrite every VI that was using SMTP to mail emails from our applications? Are the old 2011 VIs avalable in 2013? Two that we use a lot are "SMTP Send Message.vi" and "SMTP Send File.vi". Where can we find these and any others for LabView 2013?

    That's actually where I went to look for my SMTP e-mails in LV 2012.  The VI hierarchy path for these VI's is LabVIEW 2012\vi.lib\Utility\SMTP\smtpeml.llb  I thought those were the VI's the original poster was looking for and not finding.

    I haven't seen that in 2012.  Maybe that is a new addition to LV2013.

  • Open a VI in LabVIEW 5.1 that was saved in version 6.1

    Does anyone know if it is possible to open a VI saved in LabVIEW 6.1 with version 5.1? I have come across some VI's that were either saved in version 6.1 or they were created in that version. Our computers are running Version 5.1 currently. If they can be opened in ver. 5.1 would they run ok in that version? Thanks

    Each LabVIEW version can go back one step uing "save for previous". You need LabVIEW 6.1 to save them in 6.0 format. Then you need LabVIEW 6.0 to save them for LabVIEW 5.1.
    Unless they use new 6.0 or 6.1 specific features, they should run just fine in LabVIEW 5.1 once converted.
    If you want, you can post your VIs here and somebody will probably convert them for you.

  • Problem on WinXP / Labview 6.1 with VISA (serial port)

    There is a problem on WinXP / Labview 6.1 with VISA which i use to poll the state lines of the serial port. The only functions that i use are "VISA Open", "Find Resource", line state properties and "VISA close".
    On my own machine (WinME) it works fine as a standalone application (with runtime engine in the same direction), even if i rename the Labview directory so that Labview is not found.
    From my VXIpnp directory i deleted all but these files:
    directory "Win95",
    subdirectory "Bin" containing "NiViAsrl.dll",
    subdirectory "NIvisa" containing "visaconf.dll".
    When shipping this to WinXP (and copying "VXIpnp" to the root directory), the serial port was not found, so i renamed the direction "Win95" to "
    WinNT", but this did not work also.
    I installed the VISA server, although it seems not to be required -- no result.
    Final question:
    What must i do for distributing the program as a standalone application for all windows platforms?

    Hey Joachim,
    In order to create an installer that includes the VISA Run-time engine for serial IO you will have to purchase LabVIEW 7.x. See screen shot. This packages a small compact version of the run-time that can only be used for serial, but it takes up much less space. The installer that I created has my application, the LV Run-time, and the VISA run-time and it is about 26 MB.
    That is much smaller than if I had to include the 32 MB LV 7.1 run-time and the 14 MB VISA run-time separately. It would have been even smaller if I would have uncheck some of the items that I wasn't using.

  • Report generation VIs in Labview 6.1

    Hello,
    I am havinf problems with using Labview 6.1 VIs for report generations. The VIs provided by Labview are not executable! It seems as if they had internal errors, non fixed errors. Moreover, I am not able to open the diagram because it is password protected. Does someone know if there is any patch to fix this or the reason why these VIs don't work?
    Thanks a lot!
    Regards,
    María

    Hello Maria,
    are you using the report Generation Toolkit for MS Office or the standard vis that LabVIEW provides for report generation?
    If you use the Office toolkit, this may help:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/c8888a9a74e75c4786256cda00694a1e?OpenDocument
    If not, this may also help:

    In any case, WHAT I WOULD TRY FIRST is to do a Mass Compile of the folder where the report vis are located.
    Here you can see what this does and how to perform it:

    Hola,
    Para hacer la conversión hacia versiones anteriores, LabVIEW presenta la opción de Save for Previous Version. LabVIEW 8.5 puede guardar para dos versiones anteriores (8.0 y 8.2). Las demás versiones de LabVIEW solo pueden guardar una versión hacia atrás, por lo cual para convertir de 8.2.1 hacia 7.1  hay que tener LabVIEW 8.0, convertir de 8.2.1 hacia 8.0  y  luego abrir en 8.0 y guardar para 7.1.
    Eso fue lo que hice para tu VI. Al pasar de la 8.2.1 a la 8.0 no tuve ningun problema. Al pasar de la 8.0 a la 7.1 me marcó algunos Warnings  de que algunos VIs no pudieron guardarse para la versión anterior debido a que ciertas funciones cambiaron bastante de la 7.1 a la 8.0.  Al abrirlo en 7.1 marca algunos Insane Errors que suceden precisamente al hacer este tipo de conversiones. Sin embargo, el VI no tiene flecha rota, es decir puede correr.  Te recomiendo que lo abras en 7.1 y vayas copiando a un archivo nuevo por partes o sustituyendo funciones hasta que no te marque errores al intentar guardar el archivo.
    Espero te sea de utilidad. Que tengas muy buen día.

  • Comment connaître la version de développement de LabVIEW utilisée pour la création d'un exécutable?

    Bonjour,
    Je cherche à connaître la version de développement de LabVIEW utilisée pour la création d'un exécutable que l'on m'a envoyé.
    Comment faire?
    Cette information est-elle disponible dans les VIs LabVIEW ou dans l'exécutable ainsi créé?
    Merci,
    Jeremy

    Bonjour,
    Merci d’avoir posté votre question sur les forums de National Instruments.
    Pour déterminer simplement la version de LabVIEW utilisée pour créer votre exécutable, vous pouvez vous reporter au document Web ci-dessous :
    “Determining the Version of an Executable Built with LabVIEW”: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/935BA7FB426305398625711E0055F1FA?OpenDocument
    Vous verrez notamment que, selon votre version de LabVIEW, la méthode à utiliser est différente.
    J’espère que cela vous aidera dans la résolution de votre problème.
    Bien cordialement,

  • Will a TDMS file created in Labview 8.2 be readable in later versions

    Hi,
          I was wondering if there will be any compatability issues with TDMS files when upgrading Labview?, i.e. should a Labview 8.2 still be readable in 8.5 and later. I do not use DIAdem and would very much prefer not having to use it in the future.
        Thanks,

    Hi
    TDMS is a file format that adheres to a standard outlined here. Therefore as long as an application supports the reading of TDMS files, it will not matter what was used to write the file. So in answer to your question, you will be able to open a TDMS file written in LV8.2 in newer versions.

  • Problème création .exe avec des VIs Expresse (Labview 2010)

    Bonjour,
    Actuellement en stage j'ai été chargé de créer une interface. Tout c'est parfaitement déroulé jusqu'à ce que je doive créer l'exécutable. En effet l'erreur 1052 se produit lorsque je souhaite créer mon exécutable. D'après ce que j'ai pu lire sur les forums ceci est du au passage de Labview 2009 à Labview 2010. N'ayant que Labview 2010 comment puis-je créer mon exécutable en conservant mes VIs Express ?
    Si je ne peux pas conserver mes VIs Express par quoi puis-je les remplacer ?
    J'utilise les Vis Express suivant : Ecriture et lecture d'un fichier de mesure et construction d'un tableaux.
    Merci d'avance,
    J-R
    Résolu !
    Accéder à la solution.

    Bonjour,
    Il vaut mieux ne pas utiliser de VIs express pour faire un exécutable.
    En ce qui concerne les fonction Ecriture et lecture d'un fichier, tu peux utiliser les fonctions Ecrire dans un fichier au format tableur et Lire un fichier au format tableur. En ce qui concerne la construction d'un tableau, tu peux utiliser la fonction Construire un tableau.
    Cordialement.
