LabVIEW Instrument Driver Import Wizard not available with LabVIEW 2025

[EliJ]

I want to use the LabVIEW Instrument Driver Import Wizard to convert a LabWindows driver I found on the Instrument Driver Network (Yokogawa ykut Controller). This driver does not appear in the Find Instrument Drivers tool, and the driver files do not contain VIs (only .c, .h, and .fp files). However, I am using LabVIEW 2025 and the wizard is not available for my version yet. How can I make VIs for the functions without manually creating every single one? Is there a tool that I'm missing that would work with LabVIEW 2025?

This driver is a cvi driver which is released in 1994!! Not a LaVIEW driver.

What is a ykut controller??

I'm not familiar with the different driver types. Does the Instrument Driver Import Wizard not work on cvi drivers? Yokogawa UT controllers are temperature controllers commonly used in Lindberg/Blue M laboratory furnaces. I have one in my lab, and I want to communicate with it using LabVIEW.

The CVI driver cannot work with LV.

In don't think you will find a LV driver for the  UT controllers.

I know I can't add these files to a LabVIEW project directly, but that's what the Instrument Driver Import Wizard in my original question is supposed to take care of. On wizard's webpage (LabVIEW Instrument Driver Import Wizard - NI), it says that it creates wrapper VIs for the LabWindows/CVI file. My understanding is that I could use those wrapper VIs in my LabVIEW project. Am I wrong? Why do you say that the CVI driver won't work with LabVIEW?

Never looked at it that way (was never necessary)

Maybe somebody else has some experience with this.

Will let you if I find something.
