No DMM functions in functions palette

Good Morning,
I'm VERY new to labview but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Anyway i've been searching for hours and have been unable to find a solution to my issue.
I'm running a NI PXIe-1078 chassis with PXIe-8101 controller 
I'm trying to program data aquisition for my PXI-4071 DMM in my Labview project but there are no functions in the functions palette.
I installed the NI-DMM 3.0.5 driver and can see the device connected in MAX. I can even use the soft panel and take measurements from the PXI-4071.
For the other devices i have installing the driver put the functions in the functions palette but for some reason they are all missing for the DMM. 
I've tried using the DAQmx and searching for an analog input channel but it is not on the list.
please help!
Sincerely,
Michael Reed

It sounds like a "corrupt" installation of NI DMM (see paragraph below).
Please note that NI DMM 3.0.5 is out-dated, so you should get a more recent version.
When installing a new system, NI recommends to start with the developement environments and in the last step to install all desired drivers. Following this ensures that the installer of the drivers can detect the installed ADEs and select to install the APIs for these. If you swap install order, the APIs are not installed with the driver, leaving the ADE blank (no examples, no palettes).
You can install the APIs in a second iteration, but that is an effort you should only put into the system when installing a new version of an ADE.

  • Image Processing and machine vision don't appear in Function Palette

    Hi,
    I have problem and I can't solve it
    Image Processing and machine vision don't appear in Function Palette, Although I set up NI imaq and NI Vision Acquisition Why??
    Anyone can help me?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If the image is already a Grayscale U8 image you would just have to save it to a bitmap file using the IMAQ WriteFile VI. If not, use the IMAQ Cast Image VI to convert it to a Grayscale U8 and then save it.
    Also, it would probably be better to create a new thread for questions like these.

    Hi Ewan,
    Uninstalling and reinstalling in the right order would ensure that everything was properly associated. However, I don't think that should be necessary yet in your situation. Please go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > National Instruments Software to see the full list of National Instruments software you have installed. From here you should be able to select any individual installation from the list and select "Repair". Instead of just seeing that something is already installed and exiting, this should go through the installation and check for corruption. As well, this should add the correct associations if they were currently missed due to the order of installation. 
    Please try running a repair of SignalExpress 2013 and restarting your computer, then check to see if the functions palette in LabVIEW is fully populated.
    Thanks!

  • "in port" and "out port" VIs are not in the functions palette!

    Hi,
    I am using LabVIEW 2012 on a Win 7 64 bit. I want to read a digital input (3.5V) using PC parallel port. I also read this white paper:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B937AC4D8664E37886257206000551CB
    I searched all the functions palette for “in port” and “out port” VIs but I could not find them. Apparently they are not supported in 64bit OS. What are my alternatives for reading digital input via PC parallel port?
    Thanks.

    They have not been supported for quite some time. What happens when you use the recommended VISA api?

  • Vision Acquisition Software installed, BUT why is the IMAQdx missing from the function palette?

    I just installed to the labview 2011, and many other modules and softwares including this VASAugust2010. But the IMAQdx is missing from the function palette (vision and motion). However the NI-IMAQ 4.5, IN-IMAQ IO 2.4.0 and NI-IMAQdx 3.7 are all clearly listed as installed in the NI software (contorl panel -> program - NI). In MAX, my usb webcam is also listed as NI-IMAQdx Devices and works well under MAX. But my own program is broken because the LV can't find those functions. So why the IMAQdx funtion is missing and how to fix it?  
    Thanks,

  • Where in the function palette can i find the "logical shift" function (shift x by y bits)?

    i am not able to find the "logical shift" function anywhere on the functions palette (after searching EVERY where). however, i discovered the function elsewhere in another VI (by pure luck!). i could keep bringing up these VI and copying and pasting, but that's a pain...i'd like to just have it on my functions palette to begin with.
    i am running labview 6.1 thanks for your help.

    hi,
    LabVIEW's functions pallete has come with a very useful tool --> "Search" tool
    Make use of the "Search" tool should you encounter difficulty in locating the desired function. For instants, search for keyword "Logical" or "Shift" and you will be able to locate the function
    happy coding

  • Function palette off screen

    My function palette was moved on to a secondary monitor. I no longer have that monitor and cannot see the functions palette. I've gone in to the labview.ini file (in the Program Files/National Instruments/Labview 2011 directory)  but cannot find an entry that sets the function palette position. I did see in another post  that there was supposed to be such an entry for the tool palette, but can't find that either) How can I get the function palette back on screen?

    Off-hand I'm not sure, but in the interim you can just right-click on the BD and pin the resulting palette.  I think the old one will still be off screen, but at least you'll have something to work with.

  • "dir.mnu warning" after editing the function palette

    Hello everybody!
    I´ve got a small problem, which is getting on my nerves! I created a new subfolder with vi´s in the function-palette (with the advanced palette tool)... after all i deleted it, because now i use other vi´s. So the problem is everytime i open a vi of my project which has something to do with the "signal processing palette", i got this warning that the "dir.mnu" has changed.
    So far i created a new project, but the problem is still there... How can i restore the default palette settings? Can i delete the false dependencies? Or are there global files i can delete and then labview uses the default palette?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    warning.JPG ‏28 KB

    I think when i installed Labview, there was a symbol for every VI in the function-palette. Could it be that i somehow have overwitten the defaults in the ...\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\menus folder? So thats why the "restore defaults" button is grayed out, because these ARE the default values. Is it possible to get the "dir.mnu" for the signal processing subpalette (...\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\menus\Categories\Signal Processing\dir.mnu) of somebody?... Reinstalltation is al little more complicated, because the DVDs are at our computer administrative department.
    So, thanks for your help....

  • Can't find NXT functions in Function Palette

    I'm trying to setup the NXT Toolkit in LabVIEW 8.2. I downloaded it, installed it, and then mass compiled with no error. When I start up LabView, I have everything I'm supposed to (for example the Tools->NXTModule menu option) but no new functions in the function palette. According to the getting started guide, I should have lots of NXT commands but I can't see any of them. What am I doing wrong?
     I've attached an image of my function palette to show you where I'm looking
    >

    Hi, Squirell!
    Thanks for the additional information! Looks as if everything should work fine...
    You could check the file system: In your LabVIEW folder (e.g. C:\Programs\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2) you will find a subfolder vi.lib. Inside that folder, you find the subfolder "addons" - that's where the toolkit gets installed, so you should find as next level subfolders "NXTToolkitDirectCommands" and "NXTToolkit". (...\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\addons\NXTToolkit). Within "NXTToolkit" there should be another 8 folders plus one file (dir.mnu). Asking the XP explorer about the properties of the folder "NXTToolkit", it gives me as total content 1152 files and 81 folders.  If this is not what you get try to reinstall the NXT toolkit.
    If it's what you get, too, it might have to do with the "Infinity Project" - I have no idea whether NI published a reduced version for it. What you could try in that case: request a LabVIEW 7.1 Student Edition under http://digital.ni.com/express.nsf/bycode/lvtoolkitlego (only be used for software development with LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT) - that version should work without any problems!

  • Serial PDA function sub palette missing from Functions Palette in PDA Module 8.0

    Hi:
    I have a problem that I would like to solve without having to reinstall PDA module.  Under the functions palette, Instrument I/O ... I have the Serial Compatability sub palette there but the VISA and the Serial ones are now questions marks instead of a sub palette.  Has anyone had this problem and if so how is it fixed.   If I copy and paste the VI's from Labview 8.0 (for PC) to the PDA vi I'm writing, they seem to work fine but what a pain that is ... anyone have an suggestions?  Thanks
    Greycat

    Hello Greycat,
    The subpalettes for the VISA and Serial subVIs are suppose to be
    unavailable if your target is a PDA device.  LabVIEW loads a
    seperate palette set for each target.  Since VISA is currently not
    supported on the PDA, you cannot directly open the the VISA functions
    or the Serial functions when you are targeting a PDA device. 
    Instead, you can use the Serial Compatibility VIs, which then call the
    appropriate VISA calls.
    Hope

  • How to add PCI 7340 and UMI in my labview program from functions palette or how?

    Am using PCI 7340 and UMI7764 for motion control of a stepper motor.
    How to add the functions for PCI and UMI in my labVIEW program and how
    do I use these further? I need to control the direction of stepper
    motor rotation based on the pressure applied which we calculate as
    either clock.anti clockwise. So which function palette should I use for
    that.
    We use a darlington pair driver unit. ? The output
    from UMI are from the individual axis control whereas the driver input
    is through a serial bus. So what kind of cable should we use to connect
    the UMI with this and how do we connect this or should we use any other
    driver unit? Please explain in detail.
     Thank you

    Thank you I ll see to it
