Hi,
I'm performing some tests with an InputOutput LabVIEW Instrument that I made myself (2 in/4 out) that basically implements a simple lookup table (on the basis of two DC voltage levels it perform a 2D interpolation and then sets the 4 voltage outputs accordingly).
In the interactive simulation mode everything works great.
However, if I try to run a transient simulation, the LabVIEW instrument does not respond, it seems to ignore the two inputs so it gives zero for all the 4 parameters.
This suggests me that LabVIEW instruments are interactive-simulation objects only. Is it correct?
This would limit the benefits of this great tool!
Can anyone suggest me a way to overcome this?
I work with Multisim 11 and LabVIEW 2009.
Thanks.

Yes the custom LabVIEW instruments are used in interactive mode only. What other things are you looking to do in Analysis -> Transient mode? Expresssions, Post Processor data, etc?
Are you are trying to use LabVIEW as a type of I/O behavioral component?
Also, another possibility is using the Multisim API with LabVIEW (www.ni.com/labs) -
If you would like to discuss the use case in more detail, please email me directly.
