How to convert to LV 7 user library to LV 2010 one?

[fzhong]

Hi, I received a LV 7 user library for a Bristol Wavemeter. I dropped it into the user.lib folder of LV 2010. I opened LV 2010 and could see the icon for the driver but the subfolders were all 'question mark' icons. Dragging any one of them to a programming page did nothing. I tried to follow the instruction to convert the user library to an instrument driver but failed. I appreciate for any helps. Regards. Fang

Perhaps you should have put it instr.lib folder. You've got the paths in the mnu file wrong. Also, Tools>Advanced>Edit Palette Set will allow you to fix the palette.

Don't understand at all what you mean by converting it to an instrument driver.

Hello,

Dennis is correct. Per the compatibility chart I list below, there should be no problem opening the library in 2010. You may also want to mass compile the directory which I list a link to the LV documentation below as well.
