Using old Fieldpoint modules with Labview 18+

[Joe_McC]

I have some old Fieldpoint modules I'd like to use, but the support for Fieldpoint stopped at Labview 2016. I'm using version 2018. The modules I'm using are FP-1000, FP-AI-110 as well as FP-DO-401, FP-AO-210 & FP-TC-120. 

I've written a vi in Labview 2018 to operate the FP-AI-110 using the Fieldpoint programming manual and VISA R/W calls. It works OK, but before I re-invent the remainder of the wheels, I was wondering if anyone knows if this has been done before & is freely downloadable. No point doing it twice...

Bizarrly the modules are detectable in Measurement & Automation explorer & I can use them there, Just the Labview drivers no longer work.

Thanks for any info.

Hey Joe,

I'm afraid to say that I don't have any code that's freely downloadable regarding this. However, you may just be able to re-use lots of your code; presumably the main things you are changing is the data and the address?

Well I did klutz together some vis that do what I want for now. They are rough & don't have much functionality though. I was hoping that people were unwilling to ditch perfectly good hardware and roll their own vis with the help of the programming manual.

Guess I'm the only hold out 🙂
