Hello,
could you save this VI's for Labview 8.6 or an earlier version? I don't have Labview 2009.
Thanks
Yes, a Labview 8.6 or earlier version would be welcome.
Thanks!

Allows saving as 2009 and 2010 versions.
This was a life-saver for me today to convert LV 2019 training material to LV 2018. Many thanks!
