[Ma...] Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Dear reader, Is it possible to convert a measurement program from Calypso V6.8 to Calypso V6.4? Would like to hear from you. Kind regards, Mark. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/14192-converting-a-program-from-v68-to-v64/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
[me...] Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Yes it is possible. It is enough to open the version file in txt format in the raw prg data, delete the part that says v6.8 and write v6.4.

Yes it is possible to trick the system into accepting the files, but this will lead to unforeseeable problems! The reason why programs are not forward compatible is because with new Versions there are new features. How should an old Version handle a program that relies on features that it simply doesn't have?

[Ma...] Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Thanks for the reply. Do you know how to trick this system? Is this the method Mert Kaba is using?

[Er...] Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 From 6.8 to 6.4, besides changing the version-file. You also need to delete inspset file. But as Helge says, if they are using "new" functionalities. You'll end up with a cesspool-program.. And I think he tries to say "backwards-compatible".

This looked like it was the solution but when I opened the program in V6.8 and set the parameter to V6.4 and opened that same program in V6.4 I got the warning that the program can not be opened.. After I pushed the help button and read the information from Calypso it said that this option is only capable of converting to newer versions, lets say from V6.4 to V6.8 instead of the other way around.
