DAQ assistance missing

[Jes'ter]

The DAQ assistant missing from function of LabVIEW 2017. (I first install NI-DAQmx driver before install LabVIEW). What should i do to fix this problem ?

Thanks.

(I have LabVIEW 2017 and DAQmx version 17.0 as shown in attached files)

First suggestion - don't use DAQ Assistant? 😉

I guess you also don't have DAQmx functions though, so perhaps you can try reinstalling the DAQmx package?

Hi cbutcher

haha i think i must use DAQ assistance like Chris do in this video on youtube.

(i need to measure temperature via type E thermocouple by use NI DAQ USB-6003)

i try to avoid reinstallinig DAQ driver cause it take a lot of time (about 3 hours) is there have another solution ?

Thanks

Hopefully reinstallation of the DAQ component would be faster the second time (so long as you didn't delete the downloaded files). You should be able to find them somewhere like C:\National Instruments Downloads.

On your first point, you never HAVE to use DAQ Assistance. Internally, they use the DAQmx functions usually available under 'Measurement I/O > NI DAQmx' palette. These are more low-level functions that allow you to make measurements with NI DAQ devices (including the 6003).

An example VI is this Create Channel VI, set to an Analog Input > Thermocouple. This VI has many of the same inputs as are shown in the DAQ Assistant in the youtube video you linked.

However, you're unlikely to have the DAQmx functions if you don't have DAQ Assistant - I'm sure they're probably both installed together.

The bad thing is downloaded files was deleted. Can i uninstall DAQmx driver and reinstall DAQmx Driver by using DVD driver that came with my products ? .

(i try to repair DAQmx Driver, but didn't work)

and after that they still no DAQ mx.

Thanks.

In the screenshot, it shows you repairing DAQmx 15.0 (not 17).

I'm not sure if the DAQmx package is on a DVD - sorry. You don't need to reinstall LabVIEW, but the setup panel might show you installing LabVIEW. If you don't uninstall it first, it will 'install' very quickly, effectively just skipping. That might work out for you quickly if it is on the DVD.

The best thing would be to reinstall DAQmx to be sure to have a clean installation but you can try this:

Find the DAQmx folder that contain the DAQmx llbs on your PC and copy it to your C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2017\vi.lib folder.
