How to convert Labview 9.0 vi files to 7.1 vi files?

[jcalusdi]

Hi, I have a set of LabView 9.0 .vi files that I need to convert to 7.1 .vi files, but the current LabView 9.0 version only allows me to save it to 8.0 version. Thus, my questions are:

1) Can a user with LabView 7.1 open 8.0 files?

2) If not, is there any other way to convert 9.0 files straight to 7.1 files?

Many thanks!

It requires two steps.

You need to open the VI's in LV 2009 and do a Save for Previous version back to LV 8.0

Then open that in LV 8.0 and do a Save for Previous back to LV 7.1. 

If you don't have LV 8.0, then you can post the files to the downconvert thread and request there that they be converted to LV 7.1
