Installation of Lab view 8.20, DAQ Assistant has disappeared & Instrument I/O Assistant cant be used

[Trevor Mcalister]

After upgrading to Lab view 8.20 and on a 8.20 new install I notes’ that

DAQ Assistant has disappeared from the tool pallet completely.

Also that Instrument I/O Assistant cant be used or configured and produces an error

“NI Measurement & Automation Explorer or the Instrument I/O Assistant is not correctly installed. Please install these from the Driver CD”

I have checked both of these and all parts are fully installed and I cant fined what part of the Full version of Labview would course this problem.

Would a completely new installation with default settings clear the problem, what has coursed these tools to be not avalible.

Hi Trevor

You need to load on the Drivers for DAQmx, if you have a CD you can load them on from there otherwise the link to download NIDAQmx 8.3 is:

There is a order in which you must load things on for everything to work correctly,

LabVIEW --->> Modules & Toolkits --->> Drivers

This should solve your issue

Hi

The LabView 8.20 CD & Device Driver CD's arrived today so I am going to try a complete re-install with the new CDs first as its starting to get messy.
