Reprograming programs from 6.1 to 8.2

Hello,
 
I just updated the version of LabView a little while ago and with that, there had to be a little reprogramming. I was using LabView 6.1 and now I'm using LabView 8.2. One of my programs controls a Tektronix oscilloscope, TDS 3054B. I downloaded the driver for that instrument and replaced the old sub VIs with the new ones. After doing that I encountered problems. I think I fixed most of them but now it just runs and does not do anything and it says there are no errors. So i'm not sure what the problem is. My guess is that it is skipping an entire part of the program but i don't know where it is doing that. I'm posting the program to so maybe someone can run it. As for what it does basically it is suppose to capture incoming data from the oscilloscope. Before it is saved though I have it averaging as to get rid of some of the noise. I can make it average as much as I want. Then it is suppose to save that data to a spread sheet so i can look at it later. Well i don't know what else to add if there are any question feel free to post back. Thanks.

I was not able to run your VI because I don't have that instrument driver or instrument, but I can give you some pointers.
 
First off you are not using the error clusters correctly.  Notice that you have not wired the error out from the VIs to anything.  So there is actually no way to know currently if you are getting an error.  You need to wire the error out from 1 VI into the error in of the next and so on and so forth.
 
Another comment is that when you tried to wire the error cluster and the instrument handle into the shift registers you missed.  So notice that there are normal tunnels over lappping the shift registers, so the code is not using the registers.  I would suggest deleting the tunnels and then re-wiring to make sure the error and handle go into and out of the shift registers.

Thanks  Evan,

I applied those tips and though it did not solve the problem correcting them lead to were the problem was.
