Hi!

I'm kinda newbie in Labview.

In my lab I have an old LCR multimeter en the version available for Labview it's just 5.0

I would need the version for 8.5

if someone can help me i'd apreciate. thanks

in 8.0

NOTICE to newer users: When someone converts your VI, the least you could do is give them a Kudo. This is our way of saying "Thank You" or "Good Work".

I have inherated a legacy test fixure and corresponding VI.I currently have LabView 2009.When I try to open the legacy vi (labview7X?) using LabView 2009 it is missing a few vi's.I need to make changes to the code or at least understand what is missing.I am a newbie to labview.

The vi you have attached is already in 9.0

Hi initech,

"at least understand what is missing."

LabVIEW is already telling you the names of the missing subVIs. You have to search on your harddisk for them or ask the one who gave you that VI!

(You probably already saved the old LV7.1 VI with your LV2009 installation...)

Kudos to the first person to convert this VI to version 8.5-ish please.  It is written in v 5.0 and I need to use it on version 8.5.1.  

Also, just curious.  There are several sub VIs associated with this VI.  They are all pretty simple math, DAQ, and drivers.  I think I can just use the math DAQ, and drivers from v 8.5. (or updated drivers from the instrument manufacturer websites) Does this sound like a good idea?

You need the subVIs. While the subVIs may themselves use standard VIs/functions, you still need the subVIs. Attached is the VI you posted, but if you open it you will see it's looking for the subVIs. Post them and they can be converted.

The code itself is crap. It uses sequence frames all over the place, local variables all over the place. Definitely written by a text-programmer.

Ha!  

Thats what I thought.  But I am new to LabVIEW so I figured maybe this is how people do it. 

That is one main reason why I want to totally rewrite the code.  As it is, it only controls one instrument (a monochometer) and reads from another (a Lock-in Amp).  I figure, the code for that process should be fairly straightforward, especially in 8.5.  Hopefully I can just use this old code as a guide for what needs to be done and write new code that is easier to understand and uses more instruments. 

Here is a link to the sub VIs, (except one which was corrupt when I copied off the old computer).  If you (or anyone) could convert these as well I would be happy to dole out more Kudos.
