Vi written in 8.0.1 saved as previous version can't open with 7.1

This vi is a modified version of the example Multi-Function-Ctr Retrigg Pulse Train Generation for AI Sample shipped with LV 8.0.1. I saved it for previous version, but it will not open in LV 7.1. I get error code 24, This vi cannot be loaded because it is broken and has no block diagram. Any ideas?

I was actually asking where the "Collect Data" VI came from. I know where the "Multi-Function-Ctr Retrigg Pulse Train Generation for AI Sample" comes from. As I indicated, I cannot seem to find "Collect Data" in the hierarchy for "Multi-Function-Ctr Retrigg Pulse Train Generation for AI Sample". As a test I opened LV 8.01., opened the "Multi-Function-Ctr Retrigg Pulse Train Generation for AI Sample", saved it for 7.1 and then opened it in 7.1 with no issues. So, I go back to my questions as to where "Collect Data" came from.
I guess I don't understand what you mean by where the "Collect Data" VI came from.
This is what I did:
I opened the example Multi-Function-Ctr Retrigg Pulse Train Generation for AI Sample in LV 8.0.1. I modified it to do what I needed, and I saved it as "Collect Data.vi". Then I copied it to the machine with LV 7.1 and attempted to build an exe. That is when I got the error.
Thanks for the tip about the app builder on OpenG. I will give it a try.

Error saving for previous version 2009 to 8.5

I have a project with a VI containing DAQmx Data Acquisition VIs, timed loops and other standard conrols and indicators. When trying to save for previous version (from LV2009 to LV8.5) an error occurs. All of the dependencies can be saved to previous versions but the main VI cannot. Can anyone help with this problem?
The error message can be seen in the image attached.

Backsaving creates a folder structure with the backsaved VI and all support files in their relative locations. This might be useful in most cases.
Very often I just need a single VI (without SubVIs) backsaved. I do this programmatically using VI server (open VI reference, then call the "Save For Previous" method, then close the reference). See image below.
To do this for a project you could of course use a recursive file list and go through the whole list (programmatically), saving the VIs in a parallel folder structure (create destination folder before saving the VI).

LV2011 bug - Error wired to boolen function breaks when saving for previous version

I just downloaded LabVIEW 2011 this morning. I created this VI and saved it for LV2010 to see how it would deal with it. I opened the VI in LabVIEW 2010SP1 and the error wire is broken. There were no warnings about problems saving this VI as an earlier version.
=====================
LabVIEW 2012
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would not consider this to be a "bug".
I would call it rather an "incomplete feature" were the extra-mile (backwards compatibility) is not fully implemented. So filing a suggestion is really the best thing to do (i will not file one since it is your idea, but i will kudo it!).
Saving VIs to previous versions does not change the BD itself. The requested functionality would require BD analysis and inserting (per scripting) an unbundle into the error wire. This is a complete new functionality, at least i am not aware that this is happening anywhere else....
As a "part time solution" i would like to see a BD analyzer which warns you about possible issues during downconvert. So in your case an "errorlist entry" like:
Warning: Connecting the error cluster to boolean functions is a new feature to LV 2011. Saving for previous version will lead to a broken VI.
just my 5 cents,

Illustrator CC 2014 files saved as previous versions corrupt

On occasion we need to save Illustrator files as version 8.0 ai files and version 3.0 eps for customers with older software and to import into industry specific software for further work (CAD).
Illustrator CS6 works fine for these tasks. Using CC 2014 the save files are corrupt:
The file saves normally, no errors indicated. Trying to reopen the saved files results in the dialog above. The CC 2014 files reopen fine, the corruption happens to the files saved in previous versions. The files are fairly simple structural designs for the box industry, all basically straight lines, no placed graphics, minimal text for labels.
Mac OS Yosemite, CC 2014

Hi,
It is not possible to open the files in a previous version of Muse. It is not backward compatible.

I can't open them without buying software when the same emails on my iPhone have the attachment as a PDF and open? Thanks

Improper Format error while saving for previous version

Hi all,
I have been developing some Daq code with LabView 8.5. Recently I needed to open the vi on a computer which has Labview 8. I used the save for previous version option. I used low-level vi's in my code which are both available to 8.5 and 8 instead of using new express vi's. LV warned me about converting fixed point numbers to double precision while saving, which in my opinion should not cause a problem.
I have also enabled "Show front panel when called" and "Show front panel when loaded" options from VI Properties dialog (as adviced by previous threads http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=369331).
However I was not able to solve the problem. Are there any suggestions to solve my problems?
Thanks.
Gokcen

I dont understand exactly what the problem is.
Have you used fixed point numbers in your code? and if so does it matter if LabVIEW converts them to DBL? If not then dont worry about it.
What problem do you have with the 'show front panel when called' as it isnt clear from your message.
Also, if you can post your problem code as it makes it easier for people to see the problem

Reading data saved on previous version of Labview

I've recently bit the bullet and upgraded to Labview 8.0 after using Labview 7.0 for a good few years now. I'm currently experiencing problems accessing data saved on the previous version of Labview which I've been working on until the upgrade.
An example is the waveform files saved on Labview 7.0 which I'm trying to read using Labview 8.0. A dialog box appears when I try to use Labview 8.0 to read the waveforms advising me to convert the files to the new version of Labview which I've duly agreed to. However, it appears that the conversion process has managed to corrupt the waveform files as I am unable to access it on either Labview 8.0 or 7.0.
I'm including a couple of files to highlight my point, one saved on Labview 7.0 and the other converted to Labview 8.0 by the programme.
Cheers.

Saving to previous versions from CS5

Checked out the launch this morning and am definitely interested in stepping up to CS5 from CS3. However, I often need to exchange native files with vendors who I'm sure won't upgrade. Is it going to be possible to save or export back to CS3 from CS5 or will I need CS4 as a step in-between??

We won't go to CS5 if Adobe has decided not to do away with this workflow obstacle. The .inx system where a CS5 document has to be saved as an exchange document, which has to be opened in CS4 and saved as an exchange doc, which has to be opened in CS3 and saved as an exchange doc in order to open in CS2 is nuts. No reason to upgrade anyone if it means more of that.

JPG saved from Photoshop CC can't open on PC

Hi there,
I'm new on Mac but this sounds weird for me; I'm working with Photoshop CC and saving my files as JPG to print them out somewhere else from a PC but Windows doesn't recognized them... Any tip?
Thank you

You have permissions issues with your user folder and the location where the PS swap files are stored. You need to fix that part...

Saving image so it can be opened in Illustrator

Hey all! Can someone remind me how to save an image in photoshop so I can open it in Illustrator? I want to the image to open with it's outline to be the image, and not the bounding box. I know it has to do with making a selection around the image in Photoshop, and making that selection into a path, but then I'm lost..
Thanks!
Kaleb

<br />sorry. it's probably more complex than that. i'm sure someone who knows illy will be by soon.

With iTunes 11, how do I view all the comments I saved in previous versions

I think I must have been foolish to update to iTunes 11, reading everyone else's hassles.
For now, my trouble is perhaps simple: I used to rely on the old list view, and had entered several comments for the music I have imported into iTunes.
I cannot see how to get such a view back. I simply want to see all my comments, and ideally have all my albums just in a simple list.
The View>Column Browser looks like what I want but I cannot see how to get it enabled - it's grey.
I hope someone can help!
Reading all the posts on rolling back, I am sorry, it doesn't sound like something I would be up to doing
TIA for your help.

Sorry. Bit slow this evening. Somehow thought I'd tried everything - but not "Songs".
Sorted.

What file format did you export it to?

I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps. I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of A

I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps. I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?

Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

HT4641 I have recently upgraded to Pages 5.1. I can't open any of my previously created Pages docs because I am told they are too old and have to be saved in Pages'09 first. I don't have Pages '09. How do I open them?

I am technologically challenged senior citizen who recently upgraged to Pages 5.1 from what I think was iWorks '08. I now find that I am not able to open any of my important previously created Pages documents. I receive a pop-up that tells me that they are too old and must be saved in Pages'09 first. I no longer have the disk for iWorks 08 and don't have Pages '09 on my iMac. Any ideas how I might get these documents open?

You should have the old Pages '08 inside the iWork folder, inside your Applications folder.
Open your old files in Pages '08 > Menu > File > Export > Word
Pages 5 can then open that Word file.

Pages can´t open files saved in iCloud

I can´t open any file save to iCloud
I tried a workaraound:
I couldn´t open a file save to iCloud from my iPad.
I opened it from icloud.com and downloaded it to my iMac.
Opened the downloaded file, and everything semed ok.
I then closed the dokument and opened the file on my ipad again. Made som editing before I closed the dokument.
Then I tried to open it again in Pages on my iMac, but couldent open it.
Translated: Couldn´t open the file ".... ..."
I also tried to open a file saved to icloud (without opening it on other machines and devises). Pages couldn´t open those files either...
Can sombody help me?

Possibly you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.
