IVI Installer

[Eddie_B]

I  created an IVI Specific Driver using LabWindows/CVI 2009. Created installer and installed this driver. 

After installation I do not see the driver on InstrumentsIO -> Instr Drvers panel in LabView.

What do I need to do or how do I need to create installer in order to see the driver on InstrumentsIO -> Instr Drvers panel in LabView.

Eddie_B,

The installer that you ran put files in their necessary places, but did not necessarily create a way for those files to interface with LabVIEW.  Take a look at the DevZone tutorial Conversion of an Instrument Driver from LabWindows/CVI to LabVIEW and follow the steps outlined there.  That will create a wrapper for the library in LabVIEW.

Then, if you want to see the VIs you have created in your functions palette, you can edit the palette to look as you wish.  See the LabVIEW help Edit Controls and Functions Palette Set Dialog Box for instructions on how to do that.

I hope this helps,

I cannot install this wizard, looks like others have this problem too.

Is there any solution for this?

Eddie_B,

As stated in that forum, there is not a version of the wizard that currently supports LabVIEW 2010.  If you have an earlier version of LabVIEW, you can use that. We are currently working on the versioning issue with 2010.

Eddie_B,

There is a plan to update the wizard to work with 2010, but the timeline on that is not certain.  In the meantime, do you have access to LabVIEW 2009?  Try to import the driver using the wizard for 2009 and LabVIEW 2009.  Once the driver is created, are you able to use it in 2010?

Let me know how this goes.  Thanks!
