NI-CAN 18.5

NI-CAN 18.5

‎02-24-2020 01:02 PM

I am trying to install NI-CAN 18.5 and it does not seem to be doing anything.  The 'nican.llb' file is missing, and no new folders appear to be created.

I know this is an old post, but I came across the same issue. In my case the reason that the library were still missing, was that the application that requires the NI-CAN driver is supposed to stay in an older LabVIEW version for now. NI explains the issue and offers a solution. To spare others the search for it, here's what helped me:

 

Beginning with version 18.5.0, NI-CAN installs support for the latest version of LabVIEW found on the system. If you require support for more than one version of LabVIEW, complete the following steps:

 

  1. Install NI-CAN 18.5.0 or later.
  2. Restart the system.
  3. Copy the following folders from the latest version of LabVIEW to the folder of the older version of LabVIEW. [LVDIR] indicates the folder of the latest LabVIEW version.
    • [LVDIR]\vi.lib\nican
    • [LVDIR]\examples\nican
    • [LVDIR]\help\nicanhelp.chm
    • [LVDIR]\help\nicanhelp.txt
    • [LVDIR]\menus\Categories\Measurement\_NICAN
    • [LVDIR]\menus\Categories\Measurement\can.mnu

You should now be able to use NI-CAN with both versions of LabVIEW.
