How to add instrument driver on labview in Mac

Hi,
I used to use Labview on windows and there was a menu in Tools >> Instrumentation >> Find Instrument Drivers and then I was able to find the driver for the instrument I was working on and install.
However, since I've been using labview on mac, there is no such menu. It only takes you to the website where I can search and download the instrument driver in a zip file, but then I'm not sure how to install the downloaded instrument driver on the Labview in Mac.
Can someone give me a hint?
Thanks,

Unzip and move the folder to instr.lib.

what file name is for the driver of gpib-usb-b?and how to add the driver file to vb in win2000??thanks

Hi,
Multiple files are required for the proer fnctioning of any of our GPIB products. Unfortunatly the installation is not as simple as copying a single file over. If you wish to make the installer silent, i believe this is entirely possible in a fashion similar to the details given at http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/0730A66245E6808086256CA8006E2183?OpenDocument.
Hope this helps out!

You need something like StarWind Tape Redirector that "iSCSI-izes" hardware attached to host. So you'll be able to connect with iSCSI initiator from inside a VM running on this host, some other host or even other physical machine (as long as it
has iSCSI connectivity), see:
StarWind Tape Redirector
http://www.starwindsoftware.com/download-starwind-tape-redirector
So at the end of the day you'll have something like on the picture below:
Good news: this software offering is 100% free so you don't need to pay anything to anybody :)
Hope this helped!
StarWind Virtual SAN clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

HP 54501A - Instrument Driver for LabView v.7 or v.8

Hi all,
I'm looking for HP 54501A - Instrument Driver for LabView v.7 or v.8. I have NI gpib/usb controller installed, but cannot control the scope via Labveiw.
The link I found at NI web site within drivers section seems to be broken so I couldn't download it!
Please, anyone, suggest/help!

The link you were given works for me. You can try it again. The given link brings you to a page where the CVI and LabVIEW drivers are listed. the direct link to the LabVIW driver is http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9455659CE034080020E748... .

How to package instrument driver in the user.lib or instr.lib directory

Hey guys,
I currently am using bunch of instrument drivers in my project.
In the VI form it works fine, but I noticed that once converted to an executable,
there are errors regarding the DLL that the drivers are calling.
Apparently the driver VI check if its being called in an VI or executable based on the current directory.
I dont think this is good/correct programming to begin with... but anyways since this driver is
saved in the instr.lib directory of LabVIEW, when I call it from the executable the default path becomes
XXX.exe/1abvi3w/instr.lib/.../.../VI above.vi
I saw this post which talks about how vi's in instr.lib and user.lib will get the path 1abvi3w in an executable but never talked about how to deal with it.
so my question is can i solve this problem smoothly without copying the entire driver.lvlib into my project and
editing the VI above? i am fine with creating wrappers for driver vi's but would to like to avoid editing the driver vi's themselves.

I don't disagree, but there is a reason this code was written like that (you might note that it doesn't actually work) - before 2009, EXEs were built as flat directory, so stripping twice would bring you to the folder. Because of the addition of libraries, where different files have different names, this was no longer possible, so 2009 builds the EXE as a zipped hierarchy of folders, which is why the check for a folder succeeds even inside the EXE.
There are a couple of things you can do:
Replace the VI path with the Application Directory primitive. This is designed to function differently in an EXE. Understandably, you don't want to do that.
Check the 8.x checkbox in the advanced page of the build settings. This will make the code work correctly, but if there's LVOOP code with VIs of the same name anywhere, it will create extra folders that you need to move around with the EXE.
Add the driver to the project (just the lvproj, don't actually copy the files) and then set an explicit destination in the build for its VIs as an LLB in the data folder. This will place the driver VIs in an wLLB, which is external to the EXE and should then strip correctly. I can't say I have much experience with this, but I'm assuming it should also work with code that was originally in user.lib. This is probably the cleanest solution in terms of number of files because you only have one extra file.
Try to take over the world!

No longer able to import CVI Instrument Driver in LabView 2010

Hello,
I used to be able to download the Import CVI Instrument Driver Wizard in LabView 2009, but there is no wizard for 2010?
I also tried importing the driver with the shared library import, but then Binary, Slides and Rings do not come up with their values i.e. if my slide in CVI has 3 positions :
Description      Value
Item 1                 1
Item 2                 2
Item 3                 3
or if my Binary has
Description      Value
On                        1
Off                        0
they do not import the description into LabView 2010?
I tried copying the directories created by the 2009-wizard to the directories of 2010 i.e.:
from     C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\resource\CVIFpConv
to          C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\resource\CVIFpConv
and
from     C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\project\_DriverCtoLV
to         C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\project\_DriverCtoLV
and the wizard loads and runs until I specify a .fp file and then I get the error in the jpeg attached. When I try to open the block diagram (FC_RFL_Initialize.vi), it says you need a password to view it, so that stops my debugging.

How to read instrument driver dll files

Hello,
How to read .dll files of an instrument driver? What is the programming methodology followed in dll files? I will be grtaeful to you if someone can point me a way to do this.
Thanks,

If you can get your hands on the driver dll sdk or source code, you can use Tools --> Import --> Shared Library (.dll)... and use the wizard to easily generate the code you need to implement it.

Hi,
Copy the sql server driver into the oracledi\drivers directory and restart the create repository
You need to manually enter the driver name and url for sql server 2005
e.g.
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
jdbc:sqlserver://<sqls machine>:1433;databaseName=<db name>;integratedSecurity=false

How to call VXIplugNplay driver from Labview

I downloaded a VXIplugNplay driver from Tektronics but I can't find any documentation on how to implement and use from Labview

JCM,
If it is a LabVIEW driver, the VIs should be available from the Functions palette in Instrument I/O >> Instrument Drivers. If it is not a LabVIEW driver, this KnowledgeBase describes the process of converting the driver:
