Cannot find DAQ Assistant drivers..

[AngeloG]

I'm trying to run a program written (I believe) on 7.1 however when trying to run the program I have a series of missing VI prompts. I have been able to locate most of these on the old hard disk and have pointed to them, however I cannot find the Configure DAQmx Assistant.vi required for the VIs in the program even though I have installed NI-DAQmx 7.2.

I don't believe the other program was written with anything other than these resources so I'm a little confused. Was a later NI-DAQmx driver possible installed?

Hai,

If u have confidence that you have installed the necessites, please check out the following location in ur system,

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5\vi.lib\express\DAQmx\DAQAssistantConfig

There one llb file named configVIs.llb will be there within which the required Configure DAQmx Assistant.vi you have asked was resided.

Hope this helps,

Mathan

Hi,

I have the same issue, but am using Labview 8.5.1. Would you be able to tell me the location where the DAQ Assistant vis (and llb) should be located?

Much appreciated,

Karen

Hey Karen,

Firstly please ensure that you have installed the DAQmx drivers. You can download the latest version from the following link.

Please check the readme file, to ensure that this software supports your version of LabVIEW (I am fairly sure that it does).

As a rule of thumb you must always install the drivers AFTER you have installed the application developement enviroment (in this case LabVIEW 8.5.1). Once this has been been done, you will find the llb file in the following location.

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5.1\vi.lib\express\DAQmx\DAQAssistantConfig

You will find the DAQ assistant in the "functions pallete" on the block diagram, by navigated to Measurement IO >> DAQmx >>DAQ assistant - or by searching for the assistant.

Best wishes,
