The "Write INI Cluster_ogtk.vi" and the "Read INI Cluster_ogtk.vi".

[tdog]

I recently accquired a LabView application from a collegue. I tried to run it but I am missing some Sub-VIs, i.e. the "Write INI Cluster_ogtk.vi" and the "Read INI Cluster_ogtk.vi". Can someone help me with how to accquire them?

Thanks.

How do you think anybody other then the person who developed can know what the subvi does?

Hi tdog,

These vis are from OpenG. OpenG is a LabVIEW open source community. They create some very nice tools to enhance the LV toolset.

Check it out at: http://wiki.openg.org/Main_Page

There is a very good installer package called VIPM that can be used to download all of the OpenG files and integrate them with your LabVIEW installation. The community version is free.

The only downside to using code from outside of LabVIEW is that you can run into situations like you have found yourself in. However since the tools are free, it's really not a big issue (except when you don't know about it).

That said, I have found the benefits definitely outweigh the negatives.

Here are links to descriptions of the two vis you asked about:

Glad I could help tdog.

And if you wouldn't mind, if you mark "accepted solution" on the post, it will help others find it easier.

Take Care,

Hi guys,

The link for download these VIs have been remove. Do you know where to get it?

Or is there any latest version for LV 8.5?

To install the OpenG VIs now you will need VIPM. See here - http://forums.jkisoft.com/index.php?showtopic=233

There are other ways of getting the code (like checking it out of SourceForge), but this should be the simplest.

Hi tst,

i encounter this messge. Is seem that i cant find them in VIPM. Company are blocking the SourceForge too.

Any advise?

You're searching for the name of a specific VI, but you need a package which includes many VI. I believe the relevant package is called OpenG variant configuration. If you can't find any of the OpenG packages, then you should look through the JKI forums or help manual for what to do when you're blocked, because you're not the only one. It's possible that in the end you will have to download the packages on a computer where you're not blocked and transfer it manually to your computer.
