From: BLAQmx on 7 Jan 2008 14:10 I am assuming you to not have a copy of LabVIEW 8.2.1 installed on your computer. If you do skip part one and go dirrectly to part two. Please note this is not officially supported by National Instruments.Part 1:- Open the disk image and copy its contents to a temporary folder on your hard drive. - Right-click on the NI-DAQmx_Base_2.1.0.dmg file and click Show Package Contents. - Open the .packages folder. This folder is hidden by default?it can be accessed through the Terminal or by showing hidden files in the finder. - To show hidden files in the finder, enter the following command in the Terminal: - defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE; killall Finder - To hide the hidden files again, run the following command: - defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE; killall Finder - Right-click the nidaqmxbase-labview82-VIs.pkg file and click Show Package Contents. - Inside the Contents folder, open Info.plist in a text editor. - Find the following section: - <string>requires</string> - <key>MessageKey</key> - <string>LabVIEW 8.2 must be installed first.</string> - <key>SpecArgument</key> - <string>/Applications/National Instruments/LabVIEW 8.2/LabVIEW.app</string> - <key>SpecType</key> - <string>file</string> - <key>TestObject</key> - <string></string> - <key>TestOperator</key> - <string>ne</string> - Change "/Applications/National Instruments/LabVIEW 8.2/LabVIEW.app" to "/Applications/National Instruments/LabVIEW 8.5/LabVIEW.app". - Save and close the file. - Run the installer. The VIs will be copied into an empty LabVIEW 8.2 hierarchy inside the National Instruments folder. Part 2:- Manually copy the following files and directories from the LabVIEW 8.2 directory to the LabVIEW 8.5 directory: - /examples/daqmxbase - /vi.lib/_DAQmxBase - /vi.lib/addons/_LVRLP - /menus/Categories/Measurement/daqmxbase.mnu - /menus/Categories/Measurement/_daqmxbase
From: Neal M on 16 Jan 2008 16:10 Hello again rallured,What you are seeing is some of the differences between DAQmx Base and our DAQmx driver. The tutorial you are going off of is written in our Windows based DAQmx. What this means for us is that DAQmx Base is only a subset of the functionality, which does not include the specific waveform option used in the tutorial. You can use the 1D Double option that is available. The way to do this is to create your chart on the front panel and then wire the array output of the read VI into the chart (instead of the create constant):<img src="http://forums.ni.com/attachments/ni/170/295459/1/WaveformChart.JPG"> <img src="http://forums.ni.com/attachments/ni/170/295459/2/WaveformChart2.JPG"> The only difference between this and the method shown in the tutorial is how the data is stored. To answer your second question, the issues you are seeing are because of the differences between DAQmx and DAQmx Base. It does not have to do with the versions of your software or drivers. Now that they are installed in LabVIEW 8.5, I would expect the programming to be fine. If there are issues at all, I would expect them to show up when the program is running. I suggest looking at the <a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/BEA8C88ED8B09AF286256ED0004544F7?OpenDocument" target="_blank">example programs</a> and using those (possibly combined with the tutorial) to figure out how to program.
