Hello.
I started using the new 8.5 LabVIEW with Essick book.
I want to buy other books on LabVIEW but they use LabVIEW 3,4,5,6 and was wondering if the VI's form those versions would work on a 8.5.
The books are from the National Instruments Virtual Series books.
Thanks

Thanks for the info.
The book I'm using is this:
He uses the 6009 USB DAQ, I have a 6008 (almost the same).
The books I wanted to buy are:
Sensors Transducers Labview
http://www.amazon.com/Sensors-Transducers-Labview-B-Paton/dp/0130811556/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_cart_2
LabVIEW for Electric Circuits, Machines, Drives, and Laboratories
But one of them is from 1999 (5.0) and the other is from 2001 (6.0).
Thanks for your information, can you recommend other books? I want to know if I can use these books for my school (Electrical engineering).
Thanks.

Hi mcrelectronica,
As smercurio says, versions before LabVIEW 6 will not open with LabVIEW 8.5, and older books will not contain information about new LabVIEW features and capabilities. www.ni.com/academic has information for educators that includes training and curriculum resources as well as some textbooks.
