I'm running LabVIEW 8.5. I'm trying to follow the NI example titled "Using the DAQ Assistant to Automatically Generate LabVIEW Code." My problem is the DAQ Assistant does not show up on the Express/Input palette.
The Daq assistant should show up in both the signal express category in the functions palette and the Daqmx palette. If you type "daq assistant" into the search on the functions palette you should find them.
Regards,

Ok. Do any of the express VIs in the palette show up? If not it maybe that something wasn't installed directly, in which case re-installing may help. There should be a daqmx disk with the developers suite - the daq assistant should also show up in this sub-category of the functions palette.

Lots of express vi's show up on the Express palette. My understanding was that I'd find the DAQ Assistant under Express/Input palette, but its not there. I do have an installation CD called NI-DAQmx Base which I installed, but it did not fix the issue.
DAQmx base is not the same thing as DAQmx which is what you need for the DAQ Assistant. What OS are you using? If a non-windows, then installing DAQmx base might make sense.
I don't have the developer's suite but someplace you should have a device drivers CD with DAQmx, NI-488, NI-VISA, etc. When you installed LabVIEW, it should have asked for the driver's disk.
