connnect to chroma dc power 62000

 Hi,

I have downloaded chroma 62000 DC power instrument driver based RS-232 bus,(labview).

The driver file includes a chr62000.dll, a chr62000.llb and several *.mnu(I dont know what it means).

i opened  the chr62000.llb in a labview project and it showed conflicted.why?

and what the dependencies are used for? In the directories showed by the  dependencies, i didnt find those files it showed.why?

anybody can help me?

Which drivers did you download? I don't see a 62000 in the list of Chroma drivers in IDNET.

 

The .mnu files are palette menu items. They provide the menus on the functions palette. You need to place the directory you downloaded into the LabVIEW\instr.lib directory

I am also having difficulties.

I downloaded this .zip file from chrom then extractd it.

There is a .lib, .rc, some .mnu and  afolder called chr62000.

inside the ofler are the specific vis for istrument commands.

I copiedeverything to a foder in the instr.lib folder.

Restarted labview and what I see in the palette are question marks for the menu items.

What folder did you install it to? The question marks mean that the VIs are in a different location than when the .mnu file was created. Move the files or update the menu by browsing to the new locations.

I created a folder in the inst.lib and then moved all of the files and the sub folder that has all of the vis into that folder. How do I updte the menu locations?

With windows explorer expand the folders under instr.lib and take a screen shot and post the jpg or png.

You can read the help on editing a menu but it would be simpler to fix your folder.

That doesn't look quite right. Did you take the llb and make a folder from it?

I extracted the llb to a folder, but that shouldn't affect the llb that is arelady there and the mnu fucntions should it?

With the exception of the folder that contians the VIs' everything else was extracted from the ZIP as is.

I don't know if it would affect it or not. Try it without. There's not much point in having both. Are you planning on creating a project style driver from the VIs you extracted?
