EIONode.xnode the governing library for this node cannot be found

[cholulteca]

I have a question concerning the LabView FPGA I/O-Node.
I want to use an FPGA I/O-node to analyze data coming from an analog input. But everytime I try to insert the I/O-node into my vi, LabView tells me it cannot find the file "EIO_TerminalDirection.ctl", which seems to be needed by "EIONode.xnode", if i got it right.
Some time ago, i could actually use this node without any problems. I'm not sure, but i think in the meantime i did a mass compile on the whole LabView directory, because LV kept asking me to do so (i had several other problems then, which disappeared after the mass compile)

If you have any ideas, anything, please post, because i cannot find any hints anywhere and i do NOT want to install the whole environment again!

Hello choluteca,

wich LV version do you use? Did you try to repair the LV version? Open system control  under XP (Start/Programme/Systemsteuerung). Switch to entry software and move to National Instruments (repair). Please do this for lv, lv fpga and lv rio and try again the LV FPGA I/O node.

Kind regards,

Elmar

I found out yesterday that even if the program asks me to find the file "EIO_TerminalDirection.ctl", if i select "EIO_AllowedTerminalDirection.ctl" (which I hadn't noticed till now), it does not complain any more, and everything works up to now...
This is really strange, I don't know if it is the way it was meant to be.
But as we all know, never touch a running system, so for now i will not try the repair option. But thanks anyway, i might need that later on 😉

This is really horrible! It only seemed to work, but it didn't really. So i tried the repair, and it's all broken now!! I can't even start LabView any more, it says some versions don't match!
Seems as if I have to spend the next few days reinstalling all that ****
