I'm working with Keyence instruments a lot these days and they have .dll's and example code for labview. I'm not sure how to install them so that they appear in my block diagram menu.
Does anyone know how to do this? I've went through the mass compile steps and it completes the activity however nothing shows up in the menus.
Solved! Go to Solution.

If you put a folder into the "Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 201X\instr.lib" folder then any VIs in it show up the "Instrument I/O --> Instr drivers" section of the palette. If you find a fully written set of LabVIEW drivers and put them in there, that's an easy way to get started.
As for DLLs, there's a different method depending on whether they are "classic" DLLs or .NET DLLs. Do you know which you have? Either way you often need to browse to them on disk, instead of them showing up automatically.

CoolhandLV7:
Just curious- what Keyence products are you using?
Can you supply links to their LabVIEW examples?
I use quite a few different systems of theirs.
Thanks
