loading LV 5.1.1 but many vi's missing

when trying to run a vi I wrote, it cant find the following vi's:
aiwaveform
aoconfig
aowrite
aoclockconfig
aostart
aowriteoneupdate
aiconfig
aistart
airead
aiclear

Arnet these standard labview vi's? If so, why are they missing from the disk?

These get installed w/ NI-DAQ when LV exists on the computer.

Reinstall your NI-DAQ either from the LV 5 CD (CD:\Drivers\DAQ\setup.exe) or standalone CD version. If you're using an older legacy board and are using NI-DAQ 6.1 or lower, I'm pretty sure you have to specifically choose to have LV support installed during the setup.

The suggestion to go back and confirm that you have really installed NI-DAQ is a good one. Here are some other thoughts.

Are you loading an application you built in an older version of LabVIEW, and this is the first time you are loading it in 5.1.1?

Do you still have the older version around? You should be able to go back to it and see where those VIs are found.

The standard DAQ VIs don't have names like that. They're more like "AI Start.vi", not "aistart". But maybe older versions of LabVIEW used different names.

If these are DAQ VIs from an older version of LabVIEW, you don't want to try to use them with a newer version of NI-DAQ. That'll almost certainly cause problems. You'll need to replace the old calls with the newer VIs.

Let us know w
hat you find out.
