install instrument driver

[nwu]

I download an angilent function generator driver lib

How do I install it so that I can select the components just like the existing HP multimeter driver lib?

Another question is:

I made a vi consist of several subvi and I put them in the same directory. But every time I open it with labview 7, it asks me to locate the subvi. but if I open it with labview 5, I can open it with no problem. Can anybody tell me why?

I am a biginner. Sorry for the simple questions.

thanks a lot!

As for the instrument files just put them in the instrument folder. it is usually under c:program files\national instruments

Hi with reference to you question regarding opening sub vi in labview 7 have you
recompiled your VI's ?
Have you both labview 5 and Labview 7 on the same hard drive ?
BEFORE YOU recompile your Labview 7 DO check that you have saved all your Labview 5 projects in another directory (ie zip them)

else you will not be able to open with Labview 5.

Believe the reason why its asks for location of sub vi'is that the compiler has not registered where the VI'sare located.
(As VI's where saved original in Labview 5 that compiule knows the location) .

If I'm wrong no doubt one of our master wizards will clarify!!!

Thanks a lot for all your help! This is indeed a good forum!

I have both labview 5 and labview 7 on my computer. When I installed 7.0 I thought it will automatically cover the old version.

By the way, how do I re-compile my vi file?
