Re: Need FRC Toolkit for LabVIEW

You will be able to load LV 8.5 VIs into LV 2009, but you will either need to ignore the missing VIs or move them over from 8.5. To add them, copy the vi.lib/FRC and place it in the LV 2009 version of vi.lib.

I suspect this will let you load with few if any errors. The remaining error if there is one will likely be RIO related.

To run the project in 2009, you'll definitely need LV Realtime installed and you'll need compatible versions of Visa and RIO drivers. I'm not sure if the 8.5 drivers will work with LV 2009.

If this does run, please post letting me and others know.

Greg,

Apparently it will not work. I installed LabVIEW 2009 with the Realtime toolkit and drivers and all, as an evaluation version, and tried to open an example VI (Motor Control, I believe) from LV 8.5. After locating all the missing VIs, it would not run. Apparently the FPGA libraries are changed, so there are lots of error about connector panes with missing wires and wrong data types. Since the FPGA VIs used in FRC are password protected, I can't even take a peek at the block diagram to see if it's easily fixable.

Care to jump to this old thread and help me out with that old problem I had?
