Using Switch Executive Trial

[lordsathish]

Hi Ppl,

I'm using LabVIEW 8.6 trial. When i installed switch executive through Drivers, i found Switch executive VI's are not there. But the installer shows the NI - SWITCH features to be installed. When i checked the vi.lib folder, SwitchExecutive folder was missing. And also there was no Switch Devices listed in Devices and Interfaces of MAX.

Should I activate LabVIEW to use Switch Executive ? what is the procedure for installation ?

Thanks

Hi Lordsathish,

I believe NI Switch Executive 3.0 released before LabVIEW 8.6, so the default installation procedure would not place the NI Switch Executive VIs in the LabVIEW 8.6 folder.

To install NI Switch Executive 3.0 for use with the latest LabVIEW version, select the non-default option to install support for the latest version of LabVIEW during the NI Switch Executive installation.

In your case, you can modify the NI Switch Executive installation (from Add/Remove Programs) and select this option.

Hope this helps!  Let me know if you have further questions or it this does not solve your issue!
