Request LV 6.1 instrument driver template files

[LambdaPS]

I need to write instrument drivers that follow the LV specifications, but NI only posts template vis for LV 7.0. Can someone send me their copy of "prefix.zip" and "*.mnu" for LV 6.1? Thank you

Hello LambdaPS,

As of yesterday, we have the LabVIEW 6.0 version of instrument driver templates on our web site. You can use this version of templates in LabVIEW 6.1.

Where can I find the LV 6.0 "prefix.zip"?
When I follow:
"NI Home > NI Developer Zone > Instrument Driver Network > Develop > Development Tools",
I end up at ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/instr_drivers...
and only get the current version (LV 7.0)

The prefix.zip file on our FTP site now contains files saved in LabVIEW 6.0 version. Extract the files from the prefix.zip into the LabVIEW\instr.lib directory and you will be able to use them in LabVIEW 6.1.

Regards,
Vesna

Good. Thank you. But the one file "icon256.vi" is still LV 7.0

The "icon256.vi" is now saved in LabVIEW 6.0. Thanks a lot for finding this.

Regards,
Vesna

I am in need of these 6.1 templates, and they are not available (again?)

Where might I find the 6.1 templates?

We will work to get the LabVIEW 6.1 version of the instrument driver templates available on the Instrument Driver Network (ni.com/idnet). If you cannot find these templates there, please request them from instrument.drivers@ni.com.
