Copy Folder from vi.lib from 2012 to 2013

[hecmar.arreola]

Hi!

I'm trying to transition to LabVIEW 2013 and install a set of drivers that only support LabVIEW 2012.  Still, I'd like to see if I can get them working in LabVIEW 2013.  The drivers are the ULx drivers from Measurement Computing.  The installer will only install them in my LabVIEW 2012 vi.lib folder.

So the simple approach of just copying the ULx folder from LabVIEW 2012\vi.lib\ to LabVIEW2013\vi.lib\.  This didn't properly setup the Functions palette and the polymorphic VIs that are included in the driver set are all broken.

Any tips for doing this?  Thanks!

It may be looking for the .mnu file.  Make sure it is in the right place in the 2013 folders.  Reload LabVIEW.

If you want to load the pallette manually you can do the following.

1.  In LabVIEW, go to Tools>>Advanced>>Edit Palette Set...

2.  The controls palette and functions palette will both be displayed in an editable mode.  Navigate to the location where you expect the palette to be, right click and select Insert>>Subpalette...

3.  Select Link to an existing palette file (.mnu).  Select the .mnu file for that palette and click ok.  That should do it.

You also have option to select Insert>>VI(s)... if you have trouble locating the .mnu file, but if you do it this way you won't get the same palette look.
