Anyone know how to recover missing .vi?

[trombone23]

I downloaded a few Tektronix VX tabview drivers and each seem to be missing one or two .vi files. 

help!

I am specifically looking at the vx4250 driver.

missing .vi:

vx4250 read errors/events.vi

vx425 start/stop aquisition.vi

and yes, aquisition is spelled incorrectly in the .mnu and the .llb files.

Does anyone have these? Or does anyone know how to recover?

Thanks!

Did you try looking in the llb?

Both those VI names contain a "/" which is not allowed in a file name so they have to be in an llb to have those names.

And as a certified dyslexic I have to add..

In LabVIEW, spelling does not count!

Thank God!

i opened the .llb file in labview this is what i see.

and .mnu file

 

what is my next step?

OK so you did find the VIs that were "missing".

I can't help you with the .mnu since develop far too many application with too many toolkits that have to be support by many developers so...

The first thing I do with drivers like that is convert the llb (rename as required) into folders and include same in the project development directory.

That way my pees just have to update from SVN and they have everything they need.

That is an artifact from the conversion (done here).  The VI was not available while mass compiling, so it appears it should be a VI inside of another VI.  Unfortunately, without the original, there is no way to recover.

I installed the driver from the Instrument Network.  Missing files are available.

I am running Labvew 2019 on Mac OSX. Unfortunately, I do not have the Driver Finder option in tools.

Try this.
