New NI 5640R Beta 5 installer.
Please download the new installer file (“ni-5640r100b5.zip”) from the following location:
ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/rf/ni-5640r/install/
Uninstall the current version before running this installer. At this time, it is recommended to uninstall pre-release versions of LabVIEW 8.0, LabVIEW 8.0, NI-RIO 2.0 and install the released versions.
Note: This new version of the driver handles the NI 5640R VIs differently from previous versions. In the previous version, different projects would use common NI 5640R VIs that were saved in the LabVIEW/instr.lib directory. This method prevents multiple projects from being open due to the Bind to Typedef option on the FPGA Target VI.
The new method saves copies of all NI 5640R VIs to a directory in the project. This allows different projects, with different typedefs to use the same VIs at the same time.
This will result in projects saved in the previous method from not finding the NI 5640R VIs. The easiest method to convert to the new method is to resave the NI 5640R Template example directory, and copy the changes from the previous VIs to the new VI. Ensure that you use the NI 5640R VIs that are part of the new project.
