Labview IO instrument in Multisim 10.1?

[mdknapp]

Hello.. I'm trying to make a labview Input/Output instrument that will take an input, compare the input against a lookup table (preferably in a text file), and output the value that was looked up. I've been playing with the example labview IO template project that came with Multisim, and I am having trouble figuring out how it works. Can someone make an example that would, say, take the input, multiply it by two, and output that value just so I can see where in the block diagram the calculation is supposed to be done?

Thanks!

Hi Mike,

Here is a good tutorial on how to create LabVIEW Instruments for Multisim:

Let us know if you have further questions.

Fernando,

Thanks, that is a good tutorial.

Can you try building the example project and see if it shows up in Multisim?

I can't get any of the example projects to show up in Multisim.. I can get the pre-built .llbs to show up but when I try to build anything it doesn't work. I noticed that the pre-built .llbs are ~150kB and when I build it's ~87kB. Any idea what's going on?

Thanks

Mike

Mike,

What are your software versions? Depending on this you might need some additional files to assure the compatibility between LabVIEW and Multisim. Click here for more info.

Please let me know how it works.
