What is the eaisest way to convert an LLB to new labview version?

I have an insturment driver LLB that is a total mess now.
It started out as a LV 5.11 LLB
I am working in LV 8.5 now and LV 8.5 will not open code written in LV 5.11 (Too old)
I have tried to mass compile it in LV 8.2 but I still am running in to VI's in the LLB that are too old for LV 8.5 to open.
That means they are still in LV 5.11.
Do I really have to open each and save every single VI in the LLB in LV 8.2 to be able to use it in LV 8.5?

I was able to mass compile it. I did notice that you did not include the hp34970u.llb. Did you point to this during the mass compile. Also, this llb is long obsolete. There is a nice, modern 8.5 project style driver available as well as a plug and play driver. Why do you even need to convert this?
I have mass compiled it with out errors too, but it seems like it was not really compiled as I still keep running into vi's in it that were still in 5.11.
I have a decade (or more) of 5.11 code that I am maintaining and upgrading when I have a chance.
Production test is still coding and deploying LV 5.11  
I have tried the newer version of the 34970A driver but it is missing some of the vi's that many of our 5.11 codebase uses so is is not a drop in replacement for upgrading code.
Here is the "u" llb too, I forgot to attach last time

  • What is the best way of converting a Top Level VI into a 'sub vi' - or function ( without duplicating programming)

    Hi,
    General question here about design architecture, which i keep running into, but haven't found a really good solution.  If i write a 'Top Level VI' to do something, what is the best way of converting it into a subVI - which is call-able from other VIs, while still allowing the top level VI to have synchronised feedback/indicator updates.
    I guess the point is that when something is a top level VI you write gui logic about what happens when someone clicks buttons or whatever - which you don't want in the 'sub vi' version.
    I did at one point try having a hidden boolean button that was an input to the subVI which would let the VI know if it was supposed to be doing the front panel stuff - or simply running as a subVI.  This isn't really ideal though - since it would be better to be able to hive off the grizzly useful stuff from the fluffy - front panel updating stuff - having them together makes the VIs rather untidy.  More annoyingly though, if you have the front panel version of it running - say waiting for you to hit 'go', it breaks all the other VIs that use it as a sub vi - since they can't compile when a sub vi is already running.
    Another possibility that i tried was to basically duplicate the vi so that there was a backend part, and a front end part - and when i click 'go' the backend part is called as a sub vi.  The problem with this is that it really limits the interface that the user gets - since none of the controls on the front panel update with the results untill the sub vi is over.  I guess again i could solve this by passing references to some of the controls to update them in the subvi - but this doesn't really seem like the ideal situation if the subvi is called by something else without the same types of controls etc.
    One final idea i had was to essentially paste all the controls in the VI into a global variable file, and make the sub vi update them, and the front panel VI read from them.  This seems to 'work' - although clearly it is a work around rather than a proper solution - since i spend loads of time worrying about how i update cluster variables in the global - reading and writing.
    Does anyone have any guidance on what they do to solve this problem?
    JP

    You could run a subvis in a Subpanel on your top level.  Lets you see the current data while the subvi is running.

  • What is the easiest way to convert a jpeg into a watermark with CC 2014?

    What is the easiest way to convert a jpeg into a watermark with CC 2014?
    I signed a paper and uploaded the image to the computer as a jpeg to be turned into a watermark.  I'd done it before for a different kind of photography, but have not done it in so long that I cannot remember the steps nor can I find the tutorial video I had watched that taught me how to do it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Adding to what others have said, if you want to repeat the watermark across the image, it's relatively easy:
    As JJ said, you want to create an image with a transparent background. You can even use his script. Once you've done all that, click Image > Trim with the "transparent pixels" option and leave all the "trim away" options checked.
    Click Edit > Define Pattern to name the pattern.
    Open the image you want to apply the watermark to. Create a new blank layer. (ON EDIT: Select the blank layer.)
    Click Edit > Fill and use the Pattern option under Contents. Choose the pattern you made earlier. Click OK.
    At this point, you can leave it as is or use blending modes and layer opacity to taste. Example:

  • What is the proper way to convert a VHD from dynamic to basic without losing data?

    Hi,
    What is the proper way to convert a VHD from dynamic to basic without losing data?
    Our VM is running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
    Thanks in advanced

    Hi efebo,
    "After you convert a basic disk to a dynamic disk, you cannot change the dynamic volumes back to partitions. Instead, you must delete all dynamic volumes on the disk and then use the
    Convert To Basic Disk command. If you want to keep your data, you must first back it up or move it to another volume. "
    Please refer to following link:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731274.aspx
    You can try to backup the dynamic volume via Windows Server Backup then restore it to a new basic VHD file ( the space is recommended to be   larger than or equal to the old one ) .
    Hope it helps

  • What's the best way to convert from Gmail to iCloud?

    I currently use Google's free exchange server and sync my contacts and calendar to Google even though I pretty much do all my emailing from either mac, iphone, or ipad. Since it sounds like it's hard to sync to both google and icloud at the same time, would like to make the switch. Is there a FAQ out there? Can I keep my google email and sync just the contacts w/iCloud or is it an all-or-nothing proposition? If so, is that what others do? Any advice / pointers appreciated. Thanks.

  • What is the best way to convert mini dv tapes to digital

    I have a Canon ZR800 that I have created several mini dv tapes with.  What is the best way to convert these tapes I made to a digital format?  I have a Macbook to use for the digital format.

    Hello Jhoslter,
    To transfer footage from the ZR800 to your Mac, you will need a firewire (IEEE-1394) cable and a firewire port on your computer.  If your computer is not equipped with a firewire port, we would suggest contacting your computer manufacturer for information regarding which firewire card will work best on your system.
    As it is only possible to transfer video to a computer via firewire connection with the Canon camcorder, any video capturing program that supports firewire connections should be fine to use to transfer video to your computer.  Canon does not manufacture video capturing programs or support a particular brand.   
    Canon does not require firewire drivers for any of our miniDV camcorders.  Our camcorders use the driver for your firewire card to communicate with the computer.
    The appearance of the "DV IN" message in the camcorder's LCD screen indicates that the camcorder has detected your firewire port and is waiting for a signal from the video editing software to begin the transfer of footage.  The remainder of the transfer process is controlled by that software; we would suggest reviewing the instructions for that program for further information.

  • What is the easiest way to transfer iPhoto library to new computer

    what is the easiest way to transfer iPhoto library to new computer

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • HT1589 what's the best way to move content to a new library I created ie a holiday music only library?

    what's the best way to move content to a new library I created ie a holiday music only library?

    Sophie:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You're only hope to recover the library as it once was is to: 1 - if you have a backup copy of your iPhoto Library or 2 - you can put everything back exactly the way it was in the Finder.
    Otherwise you'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your current library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • What is the best way of converting everything in a result set into a string

    hello folks
    What do you think is the best way of converting everything in a resultset into a string???
    At the moment I'm using
    rs.getString(i);
    everywhere (no matter if the underlying datatype is a date or whatever..) it converts automatically evertything expect NULL into a valid string.
    Are there better (simple to use..) ways?

    I don't see a big switch construct. How about trying the following:
    Call this method from your original method by passing the resultset obtained.
    public String[] convert(ResultSet rs) {
         int col = ((ResultSetMetaData) rs.getMetaData()).getColumnCount();
         String[] record = new String[col];
         int i=0;
         while(rs.next()) {
              if(rs.wasNull()) record[i] = new String();
              else record[i] = rs.getString(i);
              i++;
         return record;

  • What is the simplest way to convert to one page format?

    I have a large file set up as facing pages with the master pages having different margin settings. If I want to change so I will no longer be printing 2-sided output but rather 1-sided, what is the easiest way to change the file? Would I just delete one of the master pages and reset margins?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Off the top of my head, enable layout adjustment before removing or modifying the master.
    Layout > Layout Adjustment
    Modify the right (?) master (margins).
    Verify changes to the live pages.
    The master does not explicity need to be removed.

  • What is the best way to stack DAQ aquired data in labview?

    I'm developing an application to work with an M-series daq card and labview 8.5 to output a signal and then record on 8 differential inputs for a short period of time (~10 ms). I need to stack my data, however, because the incoming signal will be very, very small, even after amplification. So basically i'm running a slightly modified version of the multifunction Synch AI-AO.vi (included with the install of daqmx). What is the best way for me to rerun this vi a set number of times and add new data directly to the old data (not cat-ing or anything, like |sample 1 of run 1| + |sample 1 of run 2| = stacked stample 1).
    A slightly modified version of the mutlifunction synch AI-AO.vi is attached.

    Hi LSU,
    see attachment on how to "stack" several measurements. I simply add the waveforms and use a shift register to keep the last iterations value.
    Writing to files in each iteration is extremly CPU consuming - especially with express vis. Using for loops for just one iteration is "senseless". You could enable the conditional terminal of the for loop to realize your stop feature.

  • What is the best way to add external C++ code to LabView 6.1?

    I have various C++ class-based DLL's written with Visual Studio 6.0 and wish
    to create instances of these C++ classes and call their methods in LabView
    6.1. What is the best way to do this?
    It seems based on the little reading I have done that there are two choices:
    1. Wrap the C++ class as a simple COM control and use LabView's COM based
    VIs to create a COM object and access the methods of various interfaces.
    2. Wrap the C++ class methods as C functions and a "constructor" and
    "destructor" C function to create and destroy an instance of the class. Then
    use LabView's DLL call support.
    Which is best? What direction is LabView going to take that better supports
    the notion of C++ class libraries?
    Thanks,
    Te

    You could also try using a CIN. This is a tool that LabVIEW provides for interfacing with external code.
    The CINTools libraries of LabVIEW allow you to embed compiled C code into a particular Virtual Instrument (VI) using a CIN.
    In order for LabVIEW to be capable of calling compiled functions of C from a running VI, the code must be loaded and unloaded into memory at the same time as the VI code itself. LabVIEW uses object code in the form of a .lsb file which is generated by the C compiler from the C source code using the ntlvsbm.mak file. This ntlvsbm.mak file is included in the CINtools directory in the LabVIEW folder. You also must create another .mak file which includes parameter definitions for the ntlvsbm.mak file and also includes a call to the LabVIEW .mak file.
    The generic documentation for CINs only explains how to use them to call C compiled code from a LabVIEW VI. It shows several development environments such as Visual C++, but in essence it only allows the user to create .lsb files out of plain C source code ( .c ) through C compilers on those environments.
    The question now is how can I create .lsb files from C++ native source code using a C++ compiler. Furthermore, how can I create a .lsb file from several C++ source code files (.cpp) and make calls to C++ functions from a VI using CINs? The following explains how to do this:
    1) Drop a Code Interface Node (from the Advanced Subpalette of the Functions Palette) into the LabVIEW VI. Make sure to wire the inputs.
    2) Right-click on the CIN and choose "Create.c File...", then in the file dialog box specify a "name.cpp" file name. (very important: use .cpp extension)
    3) Then create a name.mak makefile (text file) and add the following lines :
    name=name_of_cpp_file_without_the_extension
    type=CIN
    cinlibraries=Kernel32.lib
    CINTOOLSDIR=path_to_cintools_directory
    !include <$(CINTOOLSDIR)\ntlvsb.mak>
    4) Go into Visual C++ and File>Open and open the .mak file. You can even Add the name.cpp file to the project to make it easier to edit. Select that name.cpp or open it as a text file in NotePad or and edit the prototypes of the CIN MgErr functions as shown below, adding extern "C" at the beginning of the line. extern "C" CIN MgErr CINRun(float64 *INPUT);3) Select Build.exe to create the "name.lsb" file. To import the .lsb into LabVIEW, right-click on the CIN and choose "Load Code Resource...". Then, choose the name.lsb file and it is ready to run!
    If you want to use several C++ source code files with .cpp extensions, then compile them in Visual C++ and link them to name.cpp and create a .lsb by modifying the name.mak as follows:
    name=name_of_cpp_file_without_the_extension
    otherobj=other_cpp_files_BUT_USING_.obj_extension
    type=CIN
    cinlibraries=Kernel32.lib
    CINTOOLSDIR=path_to_cintools_directory
    !include <$(CINTOOLSDIR)\ntlvsbm.mak>
    It's worth a try? I have also heard of using clusters to represent classes, so you could check that out.
