ID: 0M397552 What do you do if you don't have the source code for the driver?

[ricksegui]

Why am I getting "cannot file program file for library" errors when launching CVI?

Solution ID # 0M397552 assumes you have access to the source code for the driver. What is the fix if you don't have the source code?

Hello ricksegui,

In order to use instruments drivers in this manner, you must have the source code. Adding instruments drivers to your CVI project allows you to use the functions contained within that driver. If the source is not available, the functions cannot be called. If you are adding instrument drivers to your project, you should already have either the object files or source code. If this is not the case, what format is your instrument driver in?

If none of these suggestions help, or if I�m not correctly understanding your issue, please post the software and versions you are using, the applicable portions of your code, and any other information that may help, and I�ll be happy to look further into it.

Have a nice day!

Robert, your information is helpful. I will look deeper into finding the the source code for the test equipment I am using. I was able to generate object code for two VXI instruments, but not the tester.

Thank,

Rick
