there is no driver for the ortec 97 on labview

[katharine 399]

I need a driver for the ortec 97 counter timer and I only have labview 6.0 and I do not have labwindows. which is needed to convert this ortec cvi to a vi. if someone has a converted driver or would be willing to create one for me it would be much appriciated./ You can e- mail me at kjhudson@kent.edu and i will forward you th ecvi driver so someone could convert it for me.Thanks

LabWindows is not required to convert a driver to LabVIEW. The conversion is done by LabVIEW. First install the CVI driver and make sure you have a .fp file and a .dll. Then go to Tools>Instrumentation>Import CVI Instrument Driver. You select the CVI .fp file and it will create the LabVIEW driver. What you won't be able to do is make any changes to the driver because what you'll get is a bunch of calls to the CVI .dll.

I do not have an application builder on labview and cannot create dlls. I need to convert the CVIs to VIs and that requires labwindows. I've got the driver on labview but cannot do anything with it because it is still in a CVI format. The run button is broken and the error states that call library function node cannot find function. i need to create this from labwindows and I need someone who can do it for me because I cannot buy it.

I guess I should have looked at the zip file. Normally, the dll is included with a CVI driver and all that you need is a standard version of LabVIEW to do the conversion. It looks like the driver you downloaded is very old. Unfortunately, right now I don't have a copy of CVI on my system. Sorry.

I installed CVI on my new computer today and looked at the driver. I built a dll and then used LabVIEW to convert it to a llb. I've included both in the attachment. I have no way of telling whether anything will work. Good luck.

Hi, I just wanted to know how you converted a dll into a llb using LabView.
I have LabView 6i, can I convert too?
Thanks.

Thanks for the converted vis. I am no longer seeing a broken run button. Nor the call library function node error: cannot find function. What I am seeing though when I run the VIs is a different error that can't make sense of. I've attached the error so that maybe you can make some sense of it and give me some feed back.

Install CVI 6.0 Run time
