[phylab]

Hello,

In the function pallette both input and output subpallettes have instrument assistant express vi.But, when I put in the block diagram window Instr I/O assistant configuration dialog box doesnot appear.I double clicked instr assistant icon but it did not work. Labview version is 7.1.Does anyone has clue to overcome this problem?

Hello phylab,

The Instrument I/O Assistant (IIOA) is used for easily communicating with GPIB instruments in Labview. For Labview version 7.1, the IIOA is available on the shipping reference driver CD. It should be automatically
installed when you're prompted to enter the driver CD, through setup.exe. Is this your first time using it or has it worked in the past? Do you also have the NI-VISA and NI-488.2 drivers? And you installed the LabVIEW cd before the driver cd, correct? The fix should be to uninstall and reinstall IIOA from the device driver CD.

Regards,
