Labview 7 code, re-write in labview 13 to save as labview 7

[krispiekream]

Hello,

I have a program written on Labview 7.0.

I want to rewrite it using Labview 13 because I don't have labview 7.0 on my desktop. I cant find the CD for it. Can I write it in 13, save as Labview 7 in the future so I  can use it in the test station with Labview 7.0?

I have labview 8.0 installed now. will install labview 11 and 13.

I will need to save to Labview 7.0 later. Can someone help me if I am not able to come to a solution?

My recommendation is to look into getting your system updated.  A LOT has changed since LabVIEW 7 and who knows what will be backwards compatible.  To take it further, you will need to save to 8.0 and then use 8.0 to save back to 7.

Actually LabVIEW versions 8.0 and earlier only could save one version back. So in order to get 8.20 or higher into 7.0 you would first have to save it as 8.0, then using 8.0 to save it as 7.1 and then using 7.1 to save it as 7.0. 

Do yourself a favor and get your systems updated to a more recent version. You will not like this backsaving vodoo for more than VERY incidental situations at all!!

I  have labview 8.0 and I don't have that option to save as labview 7.0

😞

I think I need to go to Labview 8.2 or 8.5 in order to save it as labview 7.0

Is there a save with options lower on the File menu?

actually, as mentioned, you would need 7.1 to save for 7.0  Worse no instrument drivers!

2013 needs at least VISA 5.4 and 5.4 only supports back to 2010

The latest VISA I can find that supports 7.1.1 is 4.4.1 and THAT has no official support for any OS newer than XP

You may just need to upgrade
