Chromeleon 7 provides access to Chromeleon 6 data and maintains backward compatibility as much as possible. Chromeleon 7 has been designed with a focus on future development. In rare scenarios, this may result in minor deviations when looking at legacy data in Chromeleon 7.
With Chromeleon 7, you can connect to datasources created with previous Chromeleon 6/PeakNet 6 versions. You can view the data, do temporary modifications, and see the effect on the results.
However, you cannot save the changes inside a Chromeleon 6 datasource. To permanently modify data originating from Chromeleon 6, you must first copy the data from the Chromeleon 6 datasource to a Chromeleon 7 data vault.
NOTE
To access Chromeleon 6 data on a computer that does not have Chromeleon 6 installed, first install the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle that is part of the MDAC package. This is the only validated ODBC driver for the connection to Oracle databases (the Oracle-provided driver for ODBC will not work with Chromeleon).
You cannot connect to a Chromeleon 7 data vault from older Chromeleon / PeakNet versions.
It is not possible to import Chromeleon 6 panels to Chromeleon 7, nor the other way around.
