we have developed a software using one of the Nantional Instrument's software paltform and is linked with Origin so that the data
transfered from our software will get analyzed. now the issue is whenever the version of Origin is changes, we need to update our
softwaer to make it compatible to newer version of Origin. i read in one of the Origin C user guide that if we link the external file as
.op file instead of source file then it will be version independent. does it mean that if we change the file format to .op file we need
not to update our files for newer version of Origin? if yes how to conver the .c file to .op files for Origin C. explain with example.
please help.

Hi,
Please tell which version you have used to make the .op file, and then update to which version to use this .op file? If you have made this .op file in old version for 32-bit, and now using the 64-bit version of Origin, that will be not compatible.
The .op file is able to be generated by compiling the source file. However, by default, Origin will generate the object file (.ocb) instead of .op file after compiling the source file. To generate .op file, some system variables need to be changed. For more details, you can refer to this page.

Hi,
To create .op file, you can follow the steps below.
1. Open the Command Window by menu Window: Command Window.
2. Run the following script in Command Window to set @OCSB system variable to 0, which makes Origin to generate .op file.
@OCSB = 0;
If you want to create an encrypted .op file, also run the following command. Note, only OriginPro is able to create an encrypted .op file.
@OCSE = 1;
3. In Code Builder (open by menu View: Code Builder), load the source file into Code Builder, and add this file to current workspace (by Code Builder menu File: Add to Workspace).
4. Compile and link the source file by Code Builder menu Tools: Build.
Then you can find the .op file generated in the same folder of the source file.
Origin provides the 64-bit version since Origin 8.6. Before Origin 8.6, you can only generate .op file for 32-bit version.

Hi,
Sorry that I did not provide the tip that, if the source file is already in the current workspace, the Add to Workspace menu item will be disable.

Hi,
To use the .op file, you still needs to compile and link it. In Code Builder, open the .op file (when select the .op file, please check Add to Workspace check-box), and then build the .op file just like building the source file, by menu Tools: Build.
