Help, Express Table instance not found

[engrmshahid]

Hello,

I am new to LabView and in learning phase and was going to through Getting Started Guide.

There is Express Table in the guide and when tried to build it using block diagram it gave error.

The block diagram is having question and checked the path mergetable.vi exists in the specified path but still gives error.

It gives "instance 1 18saved mergetable.vi" not found.

I tried reinstalling LabView but didn't work. It may be novice problem but please need a solution for it.

I have attached pictures of error and block.

Thanks

Shahid

Hello!

Which "Getting Started" guide are You referring to? There are many of them. Do You have a link or screenshot of Your guide?

It is often simpler to not use Express-VIs. Maybe You can skip over this particular example?

Thanks for the reply.

This is the Getting Started which I am referring to:

https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000YH7qCAG&l=en-US

Can not skip, simply, as I may fave similar issues ahead.

Thanks

Hello!

When I open that link, it leads me to a tutorial for Multisim and there is no mention of "Express" (I did a text search).

[engrmshahid]

Sorry!

When you search labview getting started it is 2nd or 3rd result. 

However, i have attached the pdf here.

Thanks

Thank You!

I did a quick search and it seems that sometimes, Express-VIs become unusable, for example see this thread: https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Elapsed-Time-Express-VI-Occasionally-Missing/td-p/3609673

I cannot help You with that problem, sorry.

If You want to continue the Getting Started guide and only the Table Express VI has this problem, You could try to replace the Table-Express-VI with this: https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview-api-ref/page/vi-lib/express/express-signal-manip/conver...

It will not result in the same display as the table, but You will still be able to see some values.
