george seifert Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I just upgraded from LV2009 to LV2010. I installed the DAQ device drivers as well. I can't find any DAQmx VIs. Measurement and Automation Explorer says that NI-DAQmx version 9.2.1f2 is installed. But in LabVIEW there are no DAQmx VIs. What else do I need to install? I've been installing upgrades for several years and have never run into this before. NI says it's because the DAQ drivers were installed previously and that I need to uninstall my hardware, reinstall the drivers, then reinstall hardware and reboot. That's just silly. Why can't it install some VIs if there's hardware in the system? George Quote Link to comment
jgcode Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Maybe a stupid question but I assume you checked 'LabVIEW 2010 IDE support' or whatever during the DAQmx install? Normally, upgrading is fine in my experience. On a side note, with the latest DAQmx drivers, on an upgrade you don't have to uninstall the old one manually - I really liked that new feature.

crossrulz Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I have run into a similar situation with Switch Executive. You need to make sure you installed the support for "Latest LabVIEW Version" or for LabVIEW 2010 for the drivers. I suspect the former since the installer should have auto-detected LV2010.

I figured it out. I had loaded DAQmx 9.2.1 when I still had LV2009. My LV2010 DVDs were from August and had an older DAQmx. So when I loaded the Device Drivers from my LV2010 DVDs it didn't install anything. George Quote Link to comment

Don't worry - I have been caught out with that one before Quote Link to comment
