Hi good afternoon, I have a question, have long had installed Labview 2014 to use the Myrio and everything was fine, but recently updated the LabVIEW 2015 and now when I connect the Myrio I get a message saying that the program that I have installed on Myrio with the supports that have instalaod program on the computer, my question is can also upgrade to the LabVIEW 2015 Myrio?

If you have a license for LabVIEW 2015, you can install the myRIO for LabVIEW 2015.

Hi Miky36,
Since myRIO has a processor that you can deploy code to, you need to install software onto it. If you update your software on your PC, the software that you had previously installed on myRIO will not be compatable with the new software on your PC. If you left the previous version of the software (2014) on your computer, you will be able to use myRIO just as you did prior to the update as long as you use the 2014 software. However, if you want to use the 2015 software (which I recommend), you will need to update the software on your myRIO.
The screenshot that you included comes from the getting started wizard, which means you are already on the correct path. To get to that screen, click on "Launch the Getting Started Wizard" on the myRIO USB Monitor, which pops up when you plug the myRIO USB cord to your computer. After the getting started wizard checks your software, you'll get to the screen you included in your message. Just click "Install the recommended software set" and wait for it to complete. It will probably take 5 to 15 minutes to complete. This should allow you to use myRIO with LabVIEW 2015.
Some things to note:
- The fact that you've gotten to this screen means that you've at least installed LabVIEW 2015, LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2015, and myRIO Toolkit 2015 as part of your upgrade. That's good since that is the required software for myRIO
- If you previously used MAX to install additional software beyond the default software set to myRIO, it will be wiped from this new install. To install additional software to myRIO after the Getting Started installation, use MAX
I hope this helps!
