LabV 7 can no see drivers writtern for LabV 6 (Hardware: IGC100). Why?

[dvk7]

Hi Guys!

We have pressure gauge from Standford Instruments and drivers written for LV 6. NI site mention that Labview 6 and 7 is the minimal requirements.

It is weird, but LV 7 can not see these drivers, while LV 5 can, but (naturally) gives a mistake when I am trying to build a VI.

Does any one had this problem and what is the possible solution?

Thank you,

DVK

PS: Here are the drivers

I'm not sure what you mean by LabVIEW 7 can not see the drivers but 5 can. Do you mean that they only show up on the LabVIEW 5 palette? If that's the case, where did you move the unzipped files to? In order to show up on the palette automatically, you should put the driver files under the 7.0 \instr.lib folder.

Dennis,

In both cases I unzipped drivers to \instr.lib folder.

Labview 5 shows drivers on palette. Labview 7 can not see them them!?

I just can not understand why?

Drivers were created with Labview 6 according to "manufacture". NI site "advertize" that they will work with Labview 7.

PS: do you know if I can recompile them?

[Dennis_Knutson]

Did you restart LabVIEW after putting the drivers there? If there is something corrupt or missing in the .mnu files, you can manually add anything you want to the palettes. You just have to customize the palette view.

As soon as you load any of the functions, they get re-compiled.

Uh, just tangentially here, we prefer "Stanford Research Systems" or "SRS".  Stanford Instruments isn't us.
