How to workaround the lack of 64 bit windows support of HWS

[j_osh_o]

I have very long patterns in text format for a traditional semiconductor digital tester that I need to use in a NI HSDIO card. The HSDIO driver can only import files of HWS type. The Digital Waveform Editor only supports HWS to save patterns with more than two states. So if I want to convert my pattern to a binary type that supports more data states than 1 and 0, and load it using HSDIO, I have to use HWS. What am I supposed to do if I have 64 bit windows? I cannot mess with the PC I am using, and 64 bit is pretty standard nowadays.

Hi J_osh_o,

I saw that you were already being helped by one of our Applications Engineers on another post. Please keep to one post per question.

In case you are referencing this Knowledge Base article for this information. Please noet that the Title is incorrect, and that there should not be a problem using HWS files in Windows 64-bit but actually only LabVIEW 64-bit. We will be changing this title soon.
