Does Instrument I/O Assistant only work in the activated version of LabView 8.0 and not in evaluation version?

[Glynster]

I'm using the LabVIEW 8.0 evaluation CD and every time I try using the Instrument I/O Assistant I get this error message "Measurement and Automation Explorer or the Instrument I/O Assistant is not installed correctly. Please install these from the LabVIEW Driver CD." So I tried installing both from the Device Driver CD and still it didn't work. I also tried uninstalling all NI softwares and components and reinstalled everything from the LabVIEW evaluation CD and Device Driver CD and still the same result.

I was wondering maybe the Instrument I/O Assistant will only work after I activate LabVIEW. Is this the reason why I can't use it or does Instrument I/O Assistant also work even if I'm only using the evaluation version? Please help!

Hi!

Please try to install the II/O Assistant from the following download, this should help!

Glynster -

Yes, Instrument I/O Assistant does work with the evaluation version of LabVIEW 8.0.  However, you need to install Instrument I/O Assistant from a version of the National Instruments Device Driver CD that shipped with LabVIEW 8.0 (or later). 

NOTE: The link provided for Instrument I/O Assistant 1.0.1 DOES NOT work with LabVIEW 8.0. It is only for LabVIEW 7.x.

You will need to obtain a Driver CD to get Instrument I/O Assistant to work with LabVIEW 8.0

Glynster,

Please take a look at this link.  This is a Knowledgebase that I found searching www.ni.com/support.

Hi Christian. I tried downloading the II/OA 1.0.1 and it didn't help, but thanks anyway.

Tommy,

I don't have the Device Driver CD that came with the LabVIEW CD. So I sent an e-mail to NI Sales & Customer Support and asked for a copy. Thanks for your help and I will post the result when I'm done.

Thanks for the link Jeff!
