How to open a labview 2012 code in labview 7?

[dragondriver]

Hi there,

  I have a vi code written in labview 7 and I open that in labview 2012, modify the code and save it. But when I open that in labview 7, it doesn't open. Is that any way that I can save the code in 2012 so which can be open in labview 7?

You can only "save for previous" down to version 8.0. After that you need to open it in 8 and save for 7.1, then open it in 7.1 and save it for 7.0.

(details)

Easier might be to post the VI in the version conversion board.

I don't have labview 8, so there is no way to do so！? ... 😞

Not just LabVIEW 8.0, as altenbach mentioned, you'll also need LabVIEW 7.1 for you to be able to convert a vi from LabVIEW 2012 to LabVIEW 7.0.  No other way around it.

Might be easier for you to do your changes in LabVIEW 7.0 (since you already seem to have it) rather than converting it to 2012 and trying to convert it back.

You somehow ignored my second paragraph. 😄

Sorry for that 🙂 I saw that but since most of my code are not an open source, so we can only do it by ourself.

The code being confidential is one part, which makes downconversion quite difficult. The only technical solution is that you get access to older LV versions as already stated in previous posts.

The other thing that LV evolved quite a bit since LV 7.0. New functions have been added which are not compatible to older versions. If your code contains any of these, it might be possible that the code simply isnt downconvertable to 7.x.
