Hello,
I am using LabView 7.1 Student Edition on Windows 2000. When I double click on Instrument I/O assistant in the block diagram, I get the following error :
"Measurement & Automation Explorer or the Instrument IO Assistant is not installed correctly. Please install these from LabVIEW Driver CD.".
Now, I assume that the driver CD is the one for NI 488.2. Our interface is an Agilent 82357A GPIB-USB connector and all its software is installed. I can send VISA commands to instruments connected to it using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (*IDN\n etc.).
I found a suggestion that I should uninstall and reinstall the Instrument IO Assistant from the LabVIEW CD and try again on ni.com. Done that - no good.
Measurement & Automation Explorer reports (under Software) that NI-488.2 (ver. 2.30) and NI-VISA (ver. 3.1) are installed. I have seen something like this error before - I installed LabVIEW first and the drivers later, and during the installation the installer kept complaining about missing drivers. However, I thought that when I installed them later, everything would be fine. Apparently, it isn't. Should I uninstall LabVIEW and VISA and 488.2, and reinstall, reversing the process ?
I do not know much about windows, but this is what a friend suggested. I am not sure if all that nonsense is needed.
Thanks.
