Optimizing Agilent VEE Programs
Agilent VEE Execution Modes
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.
Note Execution Mode was known as compatibility mode in previous versions of
VEE.
VEE has four execution modes:
n VEE 6 (adds new data types)
n VEE 5 (adds ActiveX)
n VEE 4 (compiled)
n VEE 3.x
The execution mode of the program you are running is displayed in the
status bar of VEE, as shown in Figure 11-11.
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.
