Z3 Z4 Migration Guide
Migrating a project from Z3 to Z4 is a straight forward tasks and most parts of the program do not need any changes.
Copying the project
Start Z4-SDK, generate new project
Copy all Sub VI's from the old Z3 project into the newly generated “SubVI” folder
Copy the old main VI into the the new project folder
Make sure the old main VI has the standard connector pane
Rename main VI
Within the LabVIEW project add the main VI
Start a mass compile under Tools→Advanced→MassCompile
In Zbrain SDK select the new main VI
Necessary software adaptions
Replace LabVIEW file functions with z-file functions.
(Replace pathes with strings)
Replace LabVIEW ethernet VIs with z-ethernet VI's
Replace LabVIEW timing VI's (e.g. “to time stamp”) with own code
(Note that the “get ms tick” VI can still be used)
Parallel loops must be replaced by single loops
