DMM driver Win98 Labview5.1

[Hang]

I purchased DMM PCMCIA-4050 (777186-01), but the driver that came with it is for 2000/XP. But I want to use it in an old notebook computer (IBM Thinkpad purchased in 1999) that runs on Win 98. I also use Labview 5.1

I have installed NI-DMM 1.6 - Windows 2000/95/98/ME/NT.

I also installed Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) 6.9.0 - Windows 2000/95/98/ME/NT

I used "Measurement & Automation" to test the DMM successfully.

But the DMM examples (easy I/O) didn't run with
the following subVI non-executable error:

> subVI "niDMM Initialize.vi" is not executable
> subVI "niDMM close.vi" is not executable
> subVI "niDMM simple acquisition.vi" is not executable

I just want to take a voltage reading from the DMM and incorporate this measurement into a VI file that I created previously when using a GPIB voltmeter. Please give me a hand to provide me with a DMM VI, even simpler than the DMM examples?

Thanks

Hi Hang,

The only other examples other than those that install with NI-DMM is one called "NI 40xx Digital Multimeter.vi" that is installed with LabVIEW 5.1. You can try to see if that example works, but it uses the same Traditional DAQ driver calls as NI-DMM.

My suggestion would be to open up the subVI's you mentioned that are not executable and determine within those VI's the point at which they won't run.  For troubleshooting, highlight execution is going to be your friend. I am willing to take a guess that its the common Tradition DAQ or IVI driver calls within those subVI's that are causing the problem.

Let me know how it goes.
