Backwards compatibility

[toddtheterp]

We recently purchased a pump drive from the Ismatec Corporatation and we were planning on controlling it with LabVIEW 6.0.2 because that was the version that we had in our lab. Ismatec provides pump drivers in the form of version 7.0 code. I understand that even 7.0 is outdated now, but I was wondering if there is anyway to open a .vi or .ctl file so that we could modify the code in some way for the future. One option is finding a newer version of LabVIEW and printing out the block diagram and just constructing that on my lab computer and we might have to do that.

Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks so much

There are a couple VIs missing - SkipVISANumOfBytesWarning and SetError. If you attach those, I or someone else can save it as a 6.0 file. LabVIEW can save it to 6.1 and with 6.1, you can save it to 6.0.

Thanks again.

Thanks for responding.

Here's what you posted converted to LV 6. There's still a few missing.

The only file that I did not recieve in the .zip file was Inquiring_and_setting_parameters_MCP_Z_Process.ctl. I have included that file here.

We really do appreciate you doing this for us.

Thanks again
