I've responded to two other posts with the same question, stating that you need NI-VXI. The reason for this is LabVIEW is a development environment that does not naturally come with all the drivers for all the instruments that National Instruments makes - such an application would be HUGE. So, depending on the application and hardware you are using you need certain drivers installed in order to successfully communicate with and control different instruments. For instance, if you have any
NI data acquistion (
DAQ) device, you are going to need the
NI-DAQ driver. If you have an
NI-GPIB - a.k.a. IEEE
488.2 -interface, you are going to need the
NI-488.2 driver. In the case of
VXI instruments, if you are going to need the
NI-VXI driver.
Once any driver is installed, only the applicable files, including VIs, are installed, thus minimizing the cost of hard disk space. The VIs you are looking for will be installed once the driver is installed. To begin installation of NI-VXI you can go
here.
