NI-DAQmx support for labview could not be found

[abingdonbell]

Hi, I am pretty new to LabView. I was using VC++ to programming for my USB-6215. Just curious how LabView works, so I try to follow the "Introduction to Taking an NI-DAQmx measurement in LabView" and configure my USB-6215 in LabView. However, when I try to gererate codes for the DAQmx task name control, an error message pop up as "Error:NI-DAQmx support for labview could not be found. Please reinstall NI-DAQmx".  I did reinstall NI-DAQmx, but it doesn't help. This error occurs anyway. Any idea how it happens and the solution is highly appreciated. Thank you.

I am assuming that you installed your c++ environment then daqmx driver disk then labview.  You will need to reinstall the drivers and select labview support so labview has the daq mx driver functions exposed to the labview environment. This should not effect the functionality of your C++ environment.

Thank you, falkp. 

The trouble is I don't have any option when I install the driver, well, when I refer to the driver, is it on the NI-DAQmx CDs? I have tried a few times and there are always something I can non install. I am not remove everything come with NI, and reinstall them. what do you think is the right sequence to install everything? Thank you again.

The device drivers are free come with labview as well as almost any hardware.  When you start the install there is a dialog with which parts you want to install, you must select that you want daqmx support for Labview (version dependant).  If you install the driver disks before labview, by default the labview support (Labview vis for daqmx applications) wil be unchecked.  When you reinstall the drivers you should makesure this is checked.

Thanks, Paul. But I am sure I checked the option when I reinstalled the driver. But it was still the same. Now I have almost everything uninstalled. So I should install labview before the driver, right?

Yes Install Labview then the daqmx drivers.  What version of the drivers and Labview are installing.  It is possible that if you have a new version of labview and old drivers you will not have daqmx functiuons as an option for the newer labview.

I am lucky to have a old LV8.0 and quite new driver 8.6. hope it will work. thanks
