System compatibilty issues for upgrade from LabVIEW 5.0.1 to latest LabVIEW

I have inherited an old experimental set up running with Labview 5.0.1 on WindowsNT with NI acquisition hardware (see attached picture for details) and I want to upgrade to the latest LabVIEW version to run on WindowsXP. Before doing the upgrade I have a few questions:
- Will there be a compatibility issue between the hardware and the new software/environment ? (ie. will a hardware upgrade be necessary ?)
- Will any of the application G programming code that drives our experiment be re-usable or will a complete rewrite be needed ? I am a LabVIEW programming beginner and would very much prefer only a slight modification of our existing code
- Alternatively I tried to run the application with LabVIEW 5.0.1 on WindowsXP and although all the hardware was recognised,  the set up recorded some strange data: the voltage curve had the expected shape but wrong values. Any ideas what happened ? (both NIdaqmx and Traditional drivers were installed on this PC).
Many thanks for your help,
Nick

Hi Nick
On general basis I think you can transfer you design to Labview 8.x and run the code. But it is some obstacles on the road. First of all you can not read your old 5.0 code in 8.x. But the trick is to convert it to a newer version like say 7.0 or 7.1 Then you can read it Labview 8.x. You can post your code in this forum. Someone will help you with the conversion. I also guess your Daq board is not supported by the new DaqMX driver. So you may use an older daq driver. The same thing apply to the GPIB driver I think. You should call NI and ask them for advice regarding which driver to use.
Then you install Labview 8.x on the new computer do not install any Daq driver or GPIB driver. This because you can not replace driver with an older one. Then you install an older driver to a newer Labview system some files might get installed in the wrong folder. Read this to avoid this to happened http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F185E098C7EC5A3486256D2E00691BB2
Some GPIB issues
If your GPIB card is made for ISA buss, I think you have to get a new one. Modern computers do not have ISA buss. It is also possible that your old program is not made for VISA. But it should not be to hard to convert to VISA. Or you may take a look at and see if NI has a VISA driver for instrument.
Good Luck
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

  • Performance issue after Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 with a select query

    Hi All,
    There is a Performance issue after Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 with a select query in a report painter.
    This query is working fine when executed in 4.7 system where as it is running for more time in ECC6.0.
    Select query is on the table COSP.
    SELECT (FIELD_LIST)
            INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE I_COSP PACKAGE SIZE 1000
            FROM  COSP CLIENT SPECIFIED
            WHERE GJAHR IN SELR_GJAHR
              AND KSTAR IN SELR_KSTAR
              AND LEDNR EQ '00'
              AND OBJNR IN SELR_OBJNR
              AND PERBL IN SELR_PERBL
              AND VERSN IN SELR_VERSN
              AND WRTTP IN SELR_WRTTP
              AND MANDT IN MANDTTAB
            GROUP BY (GROUP_LIST).
       LOOP AT I_COSP      .
         COSP                           = I_COSP      .
         PERFORM PCOSP       USING I_COSP-_COUNTER.
         CLEAR: $RWTAB, COSP                          .
         CLEAR CCR1S                         .
       ENDLOOP.
    ENDSELECT.
    I have checked with the table indexes, they were same as in 4.7 system.
    What can be the reson for the difference in execution time. How can this be reduced without adjusting the select query.
    Thanks in advance for the responses.
    Regards,
    Dedeepya.

    Hi,
    ohhhhh....... lots of problems in select query......this is not the way you should write it.
    Some generic comments:
    1. never use SELECT
                       endselect.
       SELECT
      into table
       for all entries in table
      where.
       use perform statment after this selection.
    2. Do not use into corresponding fields. use exact structure type.
    3. use proper sequence of fields in the where condition so that it helps table go according to indexes.
        e.g in your case
              sequence should be
    LEDNR
    OBJNR
    GJAHR
    WRTTP
    VERSN
    KSTAR
    HRKFT
    VRGNG
    VBUND
    PARGB
    BEKNZ
    TWAER
    PERBL
    sequence should be same as defined in table.
    Always keep select query as simple as possible and perform all other calculations etc. afterwords.
    I hope it helps.
    Regards,
    Pranaya

  • HT201250 Hi what is the next system that I should upgrade from Mac OS X 10.6.8? And, should I backup before downloading it?

    Hi what is the next system that I should upgrade from Mac OS X 10.6.8? And, should I backup before downloading it?

    You should backup before installing any new system updates or upgrades. Depending upon what your machine is qualified for you could upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • Will I be charged for upgrade from OSX 10.7.4 version to 10.7.6 version?

    Will I be charged for upgrade from OSX 10.7.4 version to 10.7.6 version?
    When I check for the software upgrade on my Mac-book Air, it is showing that the above upgrade is available. Will it be charged? I am not asked the ‘ Apple ID’ before start of up gradation process , does that mean that such upgrades are free?
    If yes, How much are the chargers for such upgrades?
    Thanks for your inputs.

    10.7.6 does not exist.
    The next one will be Mountain Lion 10.8 and will cost a little amount.
    The Mountain Lion is not an "update", but an "upgrade": a different OS: before installing you should check the compatibilty of your hardware and software.

  • Issue for DTP from DSO to open hub destination

    Hello Gurus,
            I have a issue for DTP from DSO to open hub destination, long text for error in the monitor is as follows:
              " Could not open file
    SAPBITFS\tst_bi\bit\BIWork\GENLGR_OneTimeVendr_2 on application server"
              " Error while updating to target ZFIGLH03 (type Open Hub Destination)     "
          for open hub destination, I check the configure for logical file name , which is "
    SAPBITFS\tst_bi\bit\BIWork\GENLGR_OneTimeVendr",
    I am wondering where that file " 
    SAPBITFS\tst_bi\bit\BIWork\GENLGR_OneTimeVendr_2" in the error message comes from?
    Many thanks,

    Hi
    You do not need to create a file in application server. It will be created automatically.
    But if you have defined a logical file name in tcode FILE and used that in OHD and if it is not correct then it will show a conflict. Check this out.

    This program will work with Quicken 2005, 2006 and 2007 data files directly.  If you have a data file from an older version, such as I did, Quicken Deluxe 2002, you must use the PPC version of either Quicken 2006 or 2007 to update the data first; and then the data will work in Quicken 2007 for Lion.

  • Suggestions for upgrading from 4.5-- 6.0

    In the old days only clean installs were recommended. Is it still best to remove FCP 4.5 and DVD 3 before installing 6.0 and 4? Actually, if it wouldn't confuse the OS, I would like to leave them both on the system. (When I upgraded from 4.1 to 4.5 I had them both running, without any problems, while I was testing the upgrade.) Please advise.

  • Stability issues after upgrade from 5 to 6.1?

    Dear all,
    my client plans to upgrade from WLS 5 to 6.1 soon. The application is
    an intranet portal with Epicentric and Vignette used as additional
    products.
    However, some voices say that 6.1 has stability issues. Well, these
    statements are rumours and lack any proof or even anecdotal evidence I

    appropriately.
    Having said this, my questions are:
    - Did any of you have stability issues after upgrading from 5 to 6.1
    on Solaris?
    - If yes, what were they and how did you solve them (e.g. upgrade to
    SP 5)?
    - In 1-2 sentences, what is the context of the application?
    My goal is to present a evidence that the romoured stability issues
    don't exist or/and a list of meastures to avoid/solve them, if any.

  • How do i upgrade from 6.0.6 to the latest version of iPhoto . I have a mac pro with OS 10.7.5 ?

    How do i upgrade from 6.0.6 to the latest version of iPhoto . I have a mac pro with OS 10.7.5 ?

    The latest version of iPhoto  - 9.5.1 -  requires MacOS X 10.9.x.  Is it possible to upgrade your Mac to Mavericks? Then you can buy the latest iPhoto from the AppStore.
    If your Mac does not support Mavericks, you could upgrade to iPhoto 9.4.3, see:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650  , but this version is no longer availbale from the AppStore. Buy a boxed retail version of iPhoto '11 from Amazon or eBay, and then update it from the support page  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650  .

  • Fund Management - Issues in Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6

    Hello,
    We are upgrading SAP Application for a client who is on 4.6C to ECC6. The client is currently using Funds Management in 4.6C. With ECC6 I understand that this functionality is moved into Public Sector and is available only on activation of IS-PS Extension Set.
    The question I have is that does this activation impact any other business processes or is just a technical activation.
    What I mean is that if I activate this extension set does the system start doing things differently and needs specific data related to Public Sector which the business users will be required to be entered while doing transactions OR the activation will not impact business processes as such and would work as earlier with Funds management active. (except where there was a change in the functionality between 4.6C to ECC6)
    I would like to know the risks, if any involved in upgrading Funds Management from 4.6C to ECC6.
    Please reply and let me know any question to get more clarity on the issue.
    Best Regards
    Kuldeep

    Hi Kuldeep,
    There are several main issues that have to be addresses when upgrading from 4.6 to ECC6. The main ones are:
    1 - Derivations. The object are no longer connected through tables or master data entries (you may have a table that links Cost Centers to Funds Centers for example). These assignments are now maintained through a flexible derivation tool. These derivation rules have to be maintaind, or the posting addresses will have no FM values and you will not be able to post any documents.
    2 - Inventory purchases. The inventory purchases scenarios are no longer maintained through the customization (you can no longer choose one of the 4 inventory scenarios, and there's no warehouse Funds Center). These are all maintained through derivations.
    3 - BCS. There's a new budgeting and AVC tool called "Budget Control System" (BCS). You can either activate it, or keep working with the old budgeting (called "former" in the customization). The new BCS affords flexibility in budgeting and AVC, including several AVC ledgers.
    More data regarding migrations can be found in documentation. If you want, I can send you the PDF document.
    Best regards,
    Shahaf Yaari
