Instrument driver not show up

[鱼香肉丝]

I download the instrument driver for Agilent Signal Generator E4438C from NI, and unzip it to the folder instr.lib, restart the labview program, but it doesn't show up in the function palette -> Instrument I/O -> Instrument Driver. I also download the driver for R&S FSQ26, go through the same procedure and it does show up in the function palette.

Besides, in the tool ->Instrument ->Searching Instrument Driver, I could see the ESG driver "Agilent ESG Series" in the "Installed Instrument Driver". Could anyone help on this, thank you.

OS: Windows XP SP2

Labview Version: 8.5

I open the labview project of instrument driver "Agilent ESG Series.lvproj" and a VI, then save it without any change, and then save the project, restart the labview program and it does show up 🙂 What a funny thing

hi,

 It does do that because the driver you downloaded is not probably of your labview version...When you saved the project ..you have saved it to the current labview version.And after you restarted labview,then they should appear in the pallette.
