labview 7.1 to Labview 8.0 upgrade

Greetings all,
 
My company has recently aquired labview 8.0 licences and is intending to use it as its development platform instead of labview 7.1. the problem is that all of our customers are currently running executables generated in a labview 7.1 environment and any updated versions of our software that we will send them in the future will most likely be developed in labview 8.0. The question is , other than sending them the executables generated by LV8 along with LV8 RTE are there any problems. did any one see a problem with a conversion like this. i have done alot of reasearch about this and have been testing the converted code from 7.1 to 8 and the executalbes generated by 8.0 and i havent seen any major problems. any feedback on a related probelm would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,


Only thing I've noticed so far is that LV8 uses the show scrollbar setting from it's contained vi and LV7 doesn't. Very minor...


We had some problems with old daqmx that wasn't working with LV8 vi's, and the new daqmx didn't support the hardware. We solved it by copying some LV7 vi's to LV8. I don't know all the details, my colleague worked on it.


I hear some stories about multi platform deployment problems (FPGA, RT..), but I don't know any details.


If all hardware is working, I wouldn't be concerned.


Regards,


Wiebe.
