Solution
There is no official guideline on migrating LabWindows™/CVI™ code to a newer version. This is because it involves the usage of text based coding only, so it is a much simpler migration process than other NI software.
However, there are some important considerations to make if you need to skip several versions of LabWindows™/CVI™. These are:
1. Ensure that the software version is compatible with the OS version.
2. Check that your hardware is still supported in the newer version of software.
- Review the Readme document for the hardware's driver to check version compatibility.
- You may need to update the driver.
3. Read through the
LabWindows™/CVI™ release notes for any significant changes that may affect the ability to use your code.
- Note that when skipping across multiple versions of LabWindows™/CVI™, it is possible that some functions have been phased out over time.
