Where are the NXT Native VI's located in Labview 2013?

In past versions of Labview such as Labview 2009, I have used the NXT_Calibration.vi that used to be located in the following tool palette

Functions - NXT Programming - NXT I/O - NXT Native I/O - NXT_Calibration.vi.

 

Our school has upgraded to Labview 2013 and the Functions - NXT Programming - NXT I/O palette no longer exists. 

 

Can these Native Tools be downloaded from somewhere? 

 

Alternately is there a new Vi for calibrating the NXT light sensor?

Hi jbw,

 

It sounds like you don't have the NXT module installed.  Here is the download for that module:

Hi jbw,

 

The Native I/O palette was removed after 2009, so the functions used to interact with the light sensor will generally be the ones on the NXT I/O palette.

 

The NXT_Calibration.vi can still be found on disk at <LabVIEW>\vi.lib\NXT\Remote Library\Calibration\NXT_Calibration.vi where <LabVIEW> is the path of your installation (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2013 by default.

 

Keep in mind that these VIs are from the original toolkit and will only execute in Remote Mode.

 

Cheers,
