LabVIEW Version

[Neil Pate]

Hi All,

 

I have some old code I need to make some changes to, and am not certain what version of LV it is done in. I so not have those old versions installed on my PC, and don't really want to install the wrong version.

 

The .lvproj has <Project Type="Project" LVVersion="10008000"> in it, does anybody know if this is 8.6 or 8.6.1? My suspicion is that is it 8.6.1

 

Thanks

Neil

2012 = 12008000

2011 = 11008000

2010 = 10008000

2009 =  9008000

Thanks Shaun,

 

I am quite surprised by this as I was pretty sure it was 8.6. Now I have to do a bit of thinking!

If you want to make sure, then open a VI in the project and go to the VI Properties.  In the List Unsaved Changes dialog it will tell you what version the file was last saved in.

Thanks, I did not know about this feature.

 

Sure enough it is 2010. Now I am really confused as I would have bet (and lost) a lot of money that it was 8.6!

I think it was actually Crossrulz that made me aware of this tool which is usually my go-to for this sort of thing. Otherwise, I end up opening the project and accidentally saving out of habit and then having to roll back through version control. However, this will only show the version of the file you clicked on, so it doesn't help if your project was saved in 20xx but a couple VIs are a different version for one reason or another. In that type of scenario, I think you'd have to go with the method mentioned above to verify all.
