Need Device Drivers CD for Labview Express Student Version 7.1

[TheBlueDragon777]

I recently purchased LabView  7 Express Student Version. The book came with 2 CD's; Labview Version 7.0, Student Edition, and Labview Version 7.1 Student Edition. During the installation process I receive a screen prompt that requests for the 'Device Drivers CD'. I have no such CD, and there are no folders on either CD labeled 'Drivers'. A search of each CD also returns no files by the names requested.

The specific files I seem to be missing are:

AI config.vi
AI start.vi
AI single scan.vi
AO Write One Update.vi
AI Single Scan (Scaled Array).vi
AO Write One Update (scaled array).vi

Attached is a screenshot taken during the initialization process for a labview 'vi' I created.


Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

There is no hardware drivers CD included with the student version. You can download the drivers you want by going to http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/webcategories/9AD71162B755F0E786256BBC005F001A?OpenDocument&node=132060_US.

The functions you mention are part of traditional DAQ but the latest DAQ drivers are called DAQmx. You can get both at the above link. What DAQ board do you have? Some of the newer boards are only supported by DAQmx and DAQmx is easier to use.

Thank you!
I will have to wait until tomorrow (when the school labs re-open) to find the exact model, but I do appreciate the link and the help!
