How to open solar toolkit in LabView 8.5


Recommended Posts

I am building a solar cell test system like a student project. I have access to labview 8.5 and i wan't to run the solar toolkit vi at the link below. The toolkit is written for version 8.6 and won't open. Is there any way I can get an 8.5 compatible version? If someone with 8.6 can be so kind as to do a save as and post the result it would benefit everyone.

Thank you if this is possible.

I opened the code in LabVIEW 8.6 and "Saved for Previous Version (8.5)". I got some warnings when I did that so I don't know if it worked. Unfortunately I don't have LabVIEW 8.5 on my laptop so I couldn't check it.

Anyway, here's a zip file of what was generated. Hope it works...

Hello atpalmer ,

Can you please give me some information on what project you are working on ?

Thanks,

Nikita

I have a supply of surplus solar cells and I will build a few small panels. It is important that the cells are matched otherwise one bad cell will bring down the performance of the entire panel. To test the cells I've built a box with a 300W halogen work light and fan with a mount for the individual solar cells. Since I have so many cells to test I decided to try and automate the testing with labview and a budget daq system. My goal is to the build the eniter system for under $50.

Part of the reasoning behind the project is to advance my understanding of solar cell testing and performance. I do not really need an elaborate test system to simply build a good panel.
