how to save vi designed in Labview 7.0 express, so that it opens in labview 4.1 ?

[Ujwal]

I have student version of Labview on my computer and have designed a vi in it. However my lab as Labview 4.1. The "save with options" gives only option of saving it for 6.0 version. How do I save it so that my vi opens in labview 4.1
Thanks

I am sorry but I do not think there is a way to do that, As far as I know you can only possibly go back to maybe 5.0 if you could get someone to convert it to from 6.1 to 6.0 to 5.1 to 5.0. Maybe it can be done but I do not think so. And another thing is if you used some of the express vi's or daqmx then it definetly cannot be done.

Every LabVIEW version only saves in the previous version, so you would need 6.1, 6.0, 5.1, and 5.0 to convert to 4.1.

The main problem is that many features got added with each version upgrade, so it might not be possible to convert everything back if you use any new features in your VI (e.g. event structures).

If the VI is rather simple, it might be easiest to just rewire it in 4.1. You can also post it here, maybe somebody has all versions still installed and can do it for you. (I can currently only go back to 5.1, earler versions are no longer installed).

LV 5.0 does not appear to have a "Save for Previous..." option, so you will need to rewire an equivalent VI in the LV 4.1 system.

I have LV 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 7.0 and 7.1 installed.
