compactRIO Examples

[karinb]

Hello,

I have Labview Developer Suite v.8.6, and cannot open some of the included examples.  I am unsure if these example have been deleted or overwritten, so I have tried to re-install the software.  After re-installing, I am still unable to open the examples.  Specifically, I am trying to open the FPGA code examples for serial and CAN communications.

Is there any other way to restore the examples that were included with the software?

Thanks.

Thoose examples come with the modules (FPGA) and drivers (CAN).

What examples exactly wont open and what VIs are missing?

When using the LabVIEW Example Finder, we were unable to open the following two example projects:

1. The Basic CAN labview project, under Hardware Input/Output >>CompactRIO >>Module Specific >>CAN >>Basic

2. The Serial labview project under Hardware Input/Output >>CompactRIO >>Module Specific >>Serial (there is only one example project in this category).

The error message says that it cannot open the example.  It does not indicate whether or not it can locate the VIs in the project.

Well, one thing you could try is to directly go to the examples directory and try to open the examples from there. I am assuming Example Finder is messing up maybe because of a firewall.

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\examples

Thanks!

Still not sure why we were able to use the Example Finder when we first installed LabVIEW, but cannot open examples with it now.  However, if we go to where the examples are located in the computer's file directory, we are able to open them!

You should try to repair the LV Installation with deactivated virus scanners and firewall.
