Opening vi's in an older verions of Lab View

Hello
I am programming my vi's on a Windows XP machine with labVIEW 7.0 but have to
run my tests on a linux machine with labVIEW 6.0.  Is it possible to open
a LV 7.0 vi in LV 6. I have tried doing this on the windows machine and it
tells me that this is not possible, but is there a way to save the VI in LV 6
format, since i have not used any of the new VI's that LV 7 introduced. I realize
that the best solution is to buy LV 7 for Linux or change the Linux machine to
windows and install 7 on it, but i would like to know of converting back is a possibility
before i go to those steps.
thank you
-Steve Andrews

You can only a save as to one previous version. If you have 7.0, that means you can only save to 6.1. If you have a version of 6.1 around, then you could use that to a save as 6.0. I don't think upgrading to 7.0 for Linux is an option. NI stopped selling 7.0 a long time ago.

  • Open Pages documents from an older version

    I need to open Pages documents from an older version of Pages that I saved to an external drive from a computer that I no longer have access to.  My current operating system is 10.7.5 and I can't upgrade it right now.  I see that Pages 5.0 requires 10.10 or higher and I can't find older versions to download and from what I've read, it doesn't sound like I'd be able to open the old documents with the new version anyway.  I really need these documents. What can I do?

    I found it helpful to convert all my old Pages '08 files to .doc files.  They can be opened by the new version of Pages.
    Since the new version of Pages is no longer back compatible, and so not good for anything you want to keep for a long time, you might consider using an open source word processing application like Libra Office.  That's what I had to do.  After seven years of being a happy Pages user - archiving thousands of files in Pages -Apple has abandoned us.  I no longer think it is wise to use the new Pages and then five years down the road (or sooner) not to be able to open them in a newer version.
    If you would like a quick way to convert your Pages '08 files to .doc, let me know.

    My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box but that didnt help.

    I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses).  For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
    For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
    your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files.  To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
    your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties.  On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white.  Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected.  Now try adding the artwork again.
    Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12).  See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

  • Every time I open a new tab my older tab disappears.

    Every time I open a new tab my older tab disappears. The old page is still open, but I cannot see it. How do I fix this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Cannot open pdf files with Firefox's built-in pdf viewer

    This just started (I think) with Firefox 37.01. This is on Win7-X64. I cannot open pdf files with the Firefox built-in pdf viewer. If I click on the file or try to open it from within Firefox, it brings up a "opening filename.pdf" message. If I select the "Open with" radio button as 'Firefox (default),' it just keeps looping on this process; it never opens. In Tools => Options => Applications, Portable Document Format (PDF) is indicated as 'Preview in Firefox.' I've never had any other PDF viewer installed on this computer. I've tried disabling all plug-ins and extensions, but it still doesn't work. I searched for solutions but haven't found any for this specific issue.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hello,
    Have you tried, to start Firefox in safemode you can do so by following these steps
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • Unable to open Lab-view - getting pop-up "unable to open resourse files"

    Hi
    I have had Lab-view 7.1 running on my PC  for months.  On loading up this morning I got the pop-up "unable to open resourse files".
    Presumably this is a fatal error and I need to uninstall then reinstall.  The rest of my PC applications are working fine.  Has anybody else had this problem?
    Regards
    Ashley

    hi there
    when i rename or remove the directory  ..\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\resource i got the same error message as you. check this directory. i attached a list of contents of my LV 7.1 resource directory. the contents of your own directory may differ.

  • Trying to open a file from an older version to a new version of indesign

    I'm on am mac and i am trying to open a file from the 2014 indesign with 2015 software, i am getting this error:
    what i don't understand is why a newer version can't read the file of an older version

    That is exactly the opposition of what you are trying to tell us.
    Correct is:
    You have Adobe CS6, version 8.x.
    You get a file from someone else, who has Adobe CC 2014, version 10.x.
    You are trying to open that file on your computer.
    But because that file was created in a later version, you get this message.
    Either ask to get an IDML file (with a PDF), tell them, they should go to File > Package… and check IDML and PDF export.
    Better would be, if you also subscribe to the Creative Cloud to be up to date with the latest version.
    But what you should do anyway, update your InDesign CS6, as there are updates available which will correct this error message, as from CS7 upwards no CS exists anymore.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Opening Keynote 13 files in older versions of Keynote

    I'm having trouble sharing files created in the newest version of keynote (5.1?) with other versions (4.4?).  I've tried exporting the file to Keynote 09 through "Export..." but my coworkers are unable to open the file. 
    I apologize if this has been asked already but how do I either save a version that others can open or revert back to the old keynote?

    It isn't possible to directly convert a D11 file to a D10
    file. The
    file format is not backwards compatible and there is no way
    within
    Director to save it as an older version. There is a guy named
    Valentin
    who made a XML exporter for the Director format, so using his
    scripts
    you can save the D11 version to XML, then reconvert that XML
    into D10.
    It is only a beta thing, and there is no official support for
    it, but
    you can try it for free and see if it works for you.

  • Version 10 "File Open" command does not list older file versions

    When using the "file open" command in Illustrator 10, I noticed that the file list that appears in the window does not show older versions of illustrator files even though the File Type drop down box indicates "All formats". If I go to the file directory through Windows and then double-click the old version file (say Illustrator version8), the file automatically opens in Illustrator 10 without any problems.
    Is there a setting in Illustrator 10 that allows all files to show up in the "File Open" command?

    While I don't doubt you're experiencing this problem, I am at a loss as to how it can happen.
    Short of parsing every file in a folder, Illustrator cannot possibly "know" the versions. I could be wrong, but the only criterion for appearing in the file | open dialog is the file extension -- that is, when you select 'All Formats,' Illustrator shows all files that can be opened on the basis of file extension (.ai, .eps, .pdf, etc.).
    I tried playing around with the Read-Only and Hidden file attributes, but that made no difference. If you have things set up to show Hidden files in Explorer, they'll show up in AI 10's File | Open dialog.
    This is baffling.

  • Can you open an FCP file in older versions?

    I have a G4 with FCP 4 HD. And I also have, or now "had" a G5 with FCP 5 something on it. The G5 logic board i think just died on me because it currently does not boot up.
    Am I able to open an FCP file in an older version?

    The G4 is currently running OS 10.3.9.
    I have an OS 10.4 installation disc but the G4 does not load it, it stops shortly after the installation process begins and I don't know why it won't install.
    I do not have the FCP 5 discs. And do not believe it would even work on OS10.3, or would it?
