ErrorsI after NI-DAQ 6.9.1 Upgrade

[Jeff Dillon]

I have LabView 6.0, Student Edition.

With NI-DAQ 6.8 that came with it, I can open vi's created with the Solution
Wizard just fine.

But whenever I try to upgrade to NI-DAQ 6.9.1 to get full support for my
DAQCard 6024E, I get errors about missing subVi's.

These are the steps I take:

* Launch LabView
* On the initial dialog, I click on DAQ Solutions
* Click Next
* Choose Custom DAQ Applications, and click Next
* Select Digital Input, and select Single Digital Line and the appropriate
Digital Input Device and Line as configured in MAX. Click OK.
* Click Open Solution

The resultant VI won't run, I get errors:

* Get Channel Information.vi subVi is missing
* Read from Digital Line.vi is missing

In fact, all solutions a
re broken. If I choose the Digital Multimeter, for
example, I get the errors

* 'dmm acquire 5.vi' is not executable
* AI Waveform Scan.vi subVi is missing

These solutions all work OK, until I upgrade to NI-DAQ 6.9.1. I have
reinstalled everything from scratch several times, same results.

Any ideas?

thx

My guess is that your problem doesn't just occur when you use the DAQ Solution Wizard, but whenever you make reference to a data acquisition VI.

When you install NI-DAQ, you need to specify that you want to install support for LabVIEW (and any other programming environment that you are using.) This will install the VI's that are needed for data acquisition, and eliminate the "VI is missing" messages you are getting.

Tried that, no luck. But thanks for the suggestion.

I think I found the answer in the NI Knowledgebase, Article ID 290I92B5.

Basically, it says the the Student Edition doesn't support NI-DAQ upgrades,
since the Student Edition doesn't support DLL calls. The Student Edition
comes with a special version of NI-DAQ.

So I guess I'm stuck, unless I upgrade LabView to the retail version.

Jeff,

I'm most interested in your opening statement.. "I have LabView 6.0, Student
Edition". I wanted to buy a 6.0 student edition for a summer intern that I
am mentoring, but was told that the PC version is out of print, and only the
Mac version is available. So my question to you... is your platform Mac or
PC. And if PC, could you shed some light as to where you purchased your
student edition?

Thanks,

Jim
