NIDAQmx Libraries for CVI not included

[novarisn]

Hello,

I downloaded NI-DAQmx 17.5 Runtime, I can not find the libraries and support files for CVI. 

Regards

To develop application that use DAQmx you have to download the full package, not only the runtime. The runtime can be installed on target computer to run applications that make use of DAQmx functions.

Besides the necessary libraries, the runtime lacks all the documentation and Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) which is useful to check and configure DAQmx resources in the system.

See Description topic in the download page for DAQmx runtime

Hi,

I downloaded the full version 17.6, but the libraries are still not there. Any other suggestions? I get an error that says I need to put in the CD to install drivers for the DAQ, were these not included in the download?

When you installed the full version of DAQmx you should have had an option to select the development environment for which to install the support files (libraries, examples, documentation and help files). There you should have selected CVI and after installation complete you should have all the stuff installed on disk.

Additionally, you must customize the library menu checking DAQmx option: after quitting and running CVI again you should have the environment configured and working.

During the install, a message come up that asked if we wanted to go ahead with standard setup or customize, would the selection for a specific development library been in this selection? I do not remember a selection to pick a development environment. Can this be configured after the install has finished? Or do I need to now uninstall and reinstall?

Hi,

The issue was I needed to go through the customize setup to select the CVI environment.

Thanks for the help.

But in my case, option to select support CVI has been grayed out.  What can be done?  Reinstall drivers from 17 to 18 didn't help.  Uninstalled CVI2017 and reinstall didn't help.  Under add/remove program,  driver of NIDAQmx installed but library file doesn't show up in CVI.

The correct sequence for installing NI software is to install the IDE first (in your case CVI environment) and only after successful installation proceed adding DAQmx suite.
