compatibility between lbw11 and lbw13

[inuyasha84]

 Hi guys,

I know for sure that If you have a vi done in Lbw11 it is possible to be opened in Lbw13 but the question is if I create a new vi in Lb13 using the new features those new features will be seen without any problems in Lbw 11??

Thank you

What is lbw? Do you mean LabVIEW?

[inuyasha84]

yep 🙂

LV is the typical abbreviation for LabVIEW.

If you use a new feature, it will be translated when you perform a downconvert.  LabVIEW 2011 does not know any of the features of 2013.  So it will be different.

OK

Thanks a lot! 🙂

Some down convert will attempt to actually replace a certain new feature with similar functioning code in the older version, if that is not to complicated to do, but in general anything really new in a LabVIEW version will simply be replaced by a graphic box with a small label on it and therefore usually result in broken code.
