Where can I find these MT components?

[cdschmit]

Hi,

I'm trying to run some code from May and it is missing some modulation VIs.  We've upgraded from LV 8.21 to 8.5 in that time and we now have MT 4.0 and NI-SCOPE 3.3.2.  Some of the missing files include MT Clear Receiver Info.vi, mod_Get Rx.vi, mod_null RFSA.vi, mod_Modulation Settings.ctl and MT Get Attributes.vi.  Some of them were located previously in Addons/Modulation/niScope/support which no longer exists.  I've searched the Program Files directory and they just don't seem to exist anywhere.  Where have they gone/what am I missing?

Thanks!

Chris

Hi Chris,

Thank you for posting on the discussion forums.

Please check the following knowledge base on how to install a toolkit on two different LabView versions. ( assuming that you still have LV 8.2 and 8.5 on your computer).

The following discussion forum also describes a similar issue.

Faris,

Thanks for the reply.  I do not have two versions of LabVIEW installed.  This machine gets re-imaged by IT every academic semester and the updates on LabVIEW are clean installs.  Any other suggestions?

Hi Chris,

I took a look at the VIs you are missing. I believe that some of those VIs(mod_Get Rx.vi, mod_null RFSA.vi, mod_Modulation Settings.ctl) are custom made VIs by whoever developed the code.

As for the MT Clear Receiver Info.vi and MT Get Attributes.vi. , these should be included in the Modulation Toolkit installation, and if they are not found in the directories that are referenced in my previous post, then the Modulation Toolkit needs to be reinstalled.

I also noticed the use of RFSA in one of the VIs. NI RFSA , the driver used for NI's Vector Signal Analyzers, installs some VIs , and I'm duessing the mod_null RFSA.vi uses some of those VIs. If that is the case, I recommend installing the drivers before attmpting to reinstall the toolkit.

PLease let me know if you have any other questions.

Best Regards,

Actually, I developed the code and they are not my VIs.  These names appear to be subVIs buried within standard RFSA and MT VIs.

The computers will be re-imaged in the next week, so I'll see if the reinstall solves the problem.  We have some new people in IT and I'm sure information regarding the order in which the toolkits are to be installed has been lost (possibly leading to missing VIs?).

Thanks again and I'll let you know the outcome!
