No longer able to import CVI Instrument Driver in LabView 2010

[Ness2]

Hello,

  I used to be able to download the Import CVI Instrument Driver Wizard in LabView 2009, but there is no wizard for 2010?

I also tried importing the driver with the shared library import, but then Binary, Slides and Rings do not come up with their values i.e. if my slide in CVI has 3 positions :

Description      Value

Item 1                 1

Item 2                 2

Item 3                 3

or if my Binary has

Description      Value

On                        1

Off                        0

they do not import the description into LabView 2010?

I tried copying the directories created by the 2009-wizard to the directories of 2010 i.e.:

from     C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\resource\CVIFpConv

to          C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\resource\CVIFpConv

and

from     C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\project\_DriverCtoLV

to         C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\project\_DriverCtoLV

and the wizard loads and runs until I specify a .fp file and then I get the error in the jpeg attached. When I try to open the block diagram (FC_RFL_Initialize.vi), it says you need a password to view it, so that stops my debugging.

CVI Instrument Driver Wizard does not formally support LabVIEW 2010 at this point.But we are fully aware of customer's needs for LabVIEW 2010 support.

If you have both LabVIEW 2009 and LabVIEW 2010 installed, the walkaround is to import C drivers in LabVIEW 2009. And then copy the generated LabVIEW files to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\instr.lib. Drivers generated in LabVIEW 2009 should also work in LabVIEW 2010. Any further questions, please email to instrument.driver@ni.com. The instrument driver team will work with you to make C drivers workable in the latest LabVIEW.

Is there an estimated release date for 2010 support of the wizard?

Hi Ness,

Would you please provide the source code of the objective IVI driver you converted? If there is any confidential issue, please let me know and we could communicate with email.

Thanks
