KUSB 3108 with Labview 8.0

[Kattinger]

Hello,

we try to connect a KUSB3108 to LabView 8.2 and receive an error message while installing the driver: supports version 7.0-8.0

Hi Kattinger-

It sounds like the installer for your Keithley KUSB-3108 may not support LabVIEW 8.2.  I ran a quick search on their site and was not able to find information about which versions of LabVIEW are supported.  NI does not develop or maintain their driver, so I would encourage you to contact Keithley for support.

Thanks-

Hy Tom,

I got reply from Keithley, they suggest to change the labview version number in the registry to 8.0

It works.

thanks

Hi Kattinger-

One thing I would suggest- if you happen to discuss this issue further with Keithley I would encourage them to release an updated installer rather than instruct their users to modify installations of software (i.e. LabVIEW) that they do not control.  It is possible that changing the value of that registry key may alter the behavior of other National Instruments software.

Either way, glad to hear you're up and running now.

Hi Tom,

they know that and they will bring out an update, but to help immediatly they found this way.

Hello all,

I've got exactly the same problem, how do you change this registry version number? I don't find any regustry entry with this name.

Regards.

Hi,

I know a little more now: it wouldnt help to install the old drivers because they dont work properly with labview 8.2 Please contact Keithley to get the beta-drivers for this version.

Hi,

I am trying to interaface a KUSB 3108 with LabView 8.0. So far, I have only been able to use the device as a volt meter and to output voltage. For measing volts the device is only responding to levels significantly higher than what is requried to use thermocouples. I am wondering if anyone here knows if there is a particular setting that needs to be applied so that the device knows the analog inputs are thermocouples rather than regular voltages.

Any help would be great.

Thanks!
