12 Optimizing Agilent VEE Programs Chapter
Agilent VEE Execution Modes
Agilent VEE Execution Modes allow you to run programs that
were created using previous versions of VEE. The Execution
Modes allow a newer version of VEE to run programs created
with an older version of VEE in exactly the same way the older
VEE version ran them. This makes VEE backward compatible to
support your existing programs.
VEE has four execution modes:
• VEE 6 (adds new data types)
• VEE 5 (adds ActiveX)
• VEE 4 (compiled)
• VEE 3.x
The execution mode of the program you are running is
displayed in the status bar of VEE, as shown in Figure 261.
Existing programs that are opened in VEE will run by default in
the Execution Mode for the VEE version in which they were
created. For example, a VEE 5.0 program opened in VEE 6.0 will
run in VEE 5 Execution Mode by default.
NOTE
Execution Mode was known as compatibility mode in previous versions of
VEE.
