Where can I find example LabVIEW VIs for the NI-USRP?

There are several sources of example LabVIEW VIs for the NI USRP:

  1. We have established an NI Community, where you can find example VIs that aren't necessarily installed by the NI USRP driver. If you are reading this post, you have found this Community!
  2. The NI-USRP driver installs a variety of example VIs to the to the following folder on your PC:

    <LabVIEW Installation path>\examples\instr\niUSRP

    where you should replace

    <LabVIEW Installation path>

    with the root folder of your local LabVIEW installation. For instance, my Windows 7 32-bit PC has LabVIEW 2011 installed and the examples can be found here:

    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\instr\niUSRP

I've installed the NI-USRP driver, but I can't seem to find the new examples in the LabVIEW Example Finder. Where are the example LabVIEW VIs installed by the NI-USRP driver?


Although the NI-USRP driver does indeed install examples, the current NI-USRP 1.1 release does not update the LabVIEW Example Finder with entries for these examples. To find the examples, you can navigate the Windows Start Menu to the following location:

Start Menu\Programs\National Instruments\NI-USRP\Examples

This Start Menu entry includes several Shortcuts that point to folders that are the home to example VIs.
