NI-scope labview vi's

[Eyal_S.]

Hi,

I installed the NI-5112 scope card today (it was bought a few years ago). I'm using labview 8.0.

I also installed the NI-Scope 3.4 driver.

I can't find any labview VIs. On the installation disk the examples are only for c. 

Where can I find the library with the scope VIs (niScope Initialize.vi, niScope Initiate.vi, etc.) ?

Thank you

The driver does include LabVIEW VIs and you should find them on the Instrument I/O>Instrument Drivers palette. You might want to try the latest - version 3.5.1 even if you do find them on the palette.

Hello Eyal,

The NI-SCOPE VIs can be found within LabVIEW, as Dennis mentioned, within the functions palette on the block diagram under Instrument I/O » Instrument Drivers » NI-SCOPE or under Measurement I/O » NI-SCOPE. Additionally, they should appear in a folder under your Windows start menu by navigating to Start » Programs » National Instruments » NI-SCOPE »Examples » LabVIEW 8.0. If the examples are not appearing in this folder, I would be interested in knowing what does appear under the NI-SCOPE folder.

Additionally, you may try going into Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX), clicking the software button on the left under the Configuration » My System tree, and then clicking the Change/Remove Software button (please see first image below). This will bring up a dialog with a long list of National Instruments software. If you select NI-SCOPE 3.4, you can then select the Modify button to the right and this will bring up a list of what is installed from the driver as far as support for each development environment. Please ensure that LabVIEW 8.0 support has been installed here.

For your particular version of LabVIEW, you will want to stay with NI-SCOPE 3.4 as the newer versions of NI-SCOPE 3.5.x do not contain support for LabVIEW 8.0 (current versions of DAQmx do not support LV 8.0). Hope this helps,
