Version Conversion

[genie_ca]

Hi,

Please help to down covert these two power supply drivers from 8.0 to 7.1

I appreciate your help.

Here you go.  If anyone cares there is a trick required to making this conversion (8.0 --> 7.1) successfully.

You have to use LV v8.0.0.  If you try to use a version of 8.0 that has been patched to v8.0.1 then you will most likely end up wit at least some VIs that are corrupted and without block diagrams.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Can anyone please direct me in how I may go about getting an HP 6624a Power Supply Instrument driver downgraded to LabView 6.0

My company just purchased this used vintage piece of equipment. I am now trying to get my feet wet from the deep end of the pool.

I have yet to create any VI test programs that does anything useful, have not yet figured out how to interact with I/O pins to the outside world...

So to get started, I thought, I would try and get my GPIB interface working with my HP6624s Quad power supply. I found an "hp6xxxa.zip" file from the NI download site. I unzipped and placed it into the "instr.lib" folder and It shows up nicely in my Instrument Drivers List, .. but when I try to access the "HP6XXXA DC Power Supply Driver" and drag it into my diagram it immediately causes a catastrophic failure with LabView 6.0 and shuts down the application and pops the following error message "Failure: "image.cpp" line 1565 LabView 6" .....

After further searching into this problem it is apparent that this "hp6xxxa.zip" file is for a later version of LabView... can anyone point me to a version of it that is compatible / downgraded to LabView 6 ?

The oldest LV that I have installed here is v6.1 but that at least offers the option of saving the library to 6.0 so I did that. Here is the un-opened, un-tested result of that conversion. Good luck! (and you may want to consider getting a modern version of LabVIEW).

Awesome!,...  i can now drag the instruments into my diagram without crashing. After a 5 minute cursory glance it appears that i can control the voltage outputs from the VI ,....

Thank you very much for your quick response!!!
