Conversion of LabVIEW 5.1 code to 8.5

[rjiao1978]

Dear Mike: sorry to bother you!
  I have a vi code programed by Labview5.1 but I can not open it in labview 8.5. Would you please help me to convert it to 8.5 so that I can open it in 8.5 and I will very appreciate about it.

Hi,

I have the same problem. We bought 5.1 a few years ago and developed all our VIs on that.

Now we have a newer XP machine and I would like to install 8.5 and run the VIs on that (as well as developing others).

I am playing with the evaluation copy of 8.5 and tried to load a VI in from the old machine (Win 95). I get the same error message (5.1 too old) but I see in Help that there should be conversion software available to do it. Does anyone know how to get this?

I didn't realise it was going to be so difficult to shift our routines onto a new machine!

Any advice gratefully received.

Actually it was this VI and not the one other one which i wanted to get converted to LV 8.5

Here it is saved as LV8.2.1.  I did not have the subVI's about the 3d graph.
