Hi Shu-chen,
You can definitely do so--however, you cannot run gloabal variables, remote panels or any other communication medium between the programs. To acheive that they have to be in the same version.

I would like to comment on that. You can enable driver support for different versions of LabView. However, they have to be reinstalled for each version--each installation lets you enable support for a single version. I hope that answers your question.

Dear all,
I'm facing the same problem - I'd like to use versions 6.0 and 8.2 in parallel. I'm running two Keithley instruments with some shared drivers. Please could you expand on how you can enable support for these drivers for both versions of LabVIEW? I
Many thanks,
Jenna

But for the hardware drivers, I don't think there is a version of VISA (or NI-488) that is compatible with both versions of LabVIEW that you have.

I have a doubt.
What if i am using LV 8.0 and 8.2 at the same time. Both vis (One per one version) are trying to access same instrument (eg. GPIB1:24:INSTR). What will happen?
I am assuming Whoever accesses the GPIB instrument first will keep going. The other late comer VI will give an error saying "Resource alreay in use".
Please correct me if i am wrong.
