Problem with Rohde & Schwarz drivers, for CBT/CBT32

[kosist90]

Dear LabVIEW community!

I would like to control from LabVIEW Rohde & Schwarz Bluetooth tester, CBT/CBT32. I was searching for some instrument drivers, and found the following web-page, with links for downloads https://www.rohde-schwarz.com/driver/cbt_cbt32/. I’ve installed “rscmu2bt_vxipnp_600.exe”, “rscmu2bt_lv_600.exe”, “rscmu200_lv8_5_00_2.exe”, but I can not find folder with LabVIEW instruments drivers, and needed library, which should be located, according to ReadMe file somewhere in the following location “...\rscmu200\rscmu200.llb”.

After installation, installation folder is missing needed files, and drivers are not installed to Program Files folder. Instead, they are located in “C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\VXIpnp”. And, anyway, there are no needed drivers files...

I have Windows 7, 64-bit; and I’m using LabVIEW 2014 sp1.

Does someone know, what is the problem, and how to make those drivers installed properly? I've contacted their techsupport, but haven't received an answer yet...

Thanks in advance!

Are you using the 64 bit version of LabVIEW? Those drivers seem to be written for LabVIEW 8.x which was only 32 bit so they most likely wouldn't have support for 64 bit LabVIEW. If you use LabVIEW 64 Bit you should install 32 bit instead, it works just as fine under Windows 64 Bit. For the rest I can't really help as I never used these drivers and have no idea where they are supposed to install their files into.

No, I'm using 32-bit LabVIEW...
What I've managed now - I've unpacked rscmu200_lv8_5_00_2.exe file via 7-Zip, and manually copied LV library to proper folder... But it is strange - I thought, that they should automatically be installed there; or at least somewhere on the disk, where I can take them without hacking exe as archive...

Ohh well, an exe installer! Having been created iin LabVIEW 8 times it may expect certain paths on disk or maybe registry settings to recognize where LabVIEW is installed, that do not play nice with the new naming scheme for LabVIEW versions.

Hi kosist90

you will find the installed LabVIEW files here:

"c:\Program Files (x86)\IVI Foundation\VISA\GWinNT\rscmu200"

and here:

"c:\Program Files (x86)\IVI Foundation\VISA\GWin95\rscmu200\rscmu2bt"

The paths come from the VXIpnp specification which has change over time, that's why the base paths for both drivers are different (rscmu200 driver is from 2011 and rscmu2bt is from 2015)

Best Regards
