Tektronix 3xx Driver: Missing VIs

[C. Wennmacher]

After installing and starting the NI-Device-Driver-VI for Tektronix 3xx Devices, I get error messages due to missing VIs like "TKTDS Read.vi" or "TKTDS Start-Stop Acqui.vi". No dokumentation available with the driver. Working with LabVIEW 6.02.

Any idea?

I downloaded the dktds3xx.zip file from NI's instrument driver download site. I unzipped the file and it created two llb's in two different folders. They were tktds3xx.llb and tktdsxxx.llb. The files you are missing are in the tktdsxxx.llb. To solve your problem you have a couple options.

1) When the VI prompts you for the location of the missing VIs just navigate to the llb and select the appropriate VI.

2) Better Way - Move both llb's into your instr.lib folder which is probably in your c:\Program Files\National Instruments\Labview 6 directory. The necessary VIs will automatically be found since this directory is automatically included in the VI search path.
