I don't think there's a way to change the buttons for the IMAQ display. You probably will have to create your own (new) buttons and dynamically select the correct one on the display based on what they clicked. Not a simple solution, but not that difficult either.

I need to open the files I've attached. I have version 8.5, and I get a message that says the files are too old to open. How can I view and edit these?

I was able to load the VIs under LV7.1.1 (they were from LV5!) and save them. LV8.5 should be able to load LV7.1.1 VIs. BTW, you seem to be missing a Global1.vi (maybe some others).Also, I couldn't get GetTestInfo.vi to load at all (using LV7.1.1 or 6.1). It says it's not a VI.

It lookes like that pattern is the one I'm looking for.Unfortunately, the temp controller is a Modbus based controller with very generic Serial to Modbus converter VI's. I'll end up creating a lot of the stuff I need for it (gotta learn it, we have a few of them.)

Anybody have a Watlow F4 library?

I checked the Watlow website and they have some drivers for download: On the page http://www.watlow.com/products/controllers/f4/ramping.cfm they have a link for Modbus Driver rev c.zip.

Is this what you're looking for?

That's interesting, I guess that gives me a good reason to hold off on migrating to 8.5 a little while. Did they give any workarounds? I have a exe written in 8.2.1 with an XY graph that works fine, so it seems like it's probably a 8.5 only bug.

WinXP

8.2.1=0

8.0.1=0

7.1.1=0

Seems to be working fine here as well although I have seen some weird event handling with 8.0.1 on occasion (can't remember the exact situations, just remember that event handling and screen updates are faster and more reliable when using an exe than when using the source code).

Confirmed here. Seems like it gets "confused" as to where to put the next line because if you keep adding more values, the number of blank lines keeps increasing and you end up with a long list a lot of blank lines in it. I never came across this bug because I usually use shift-enter to add item (bypassing the need for the dialog if I'm populating a new control).
