How to Install OpenG Libraries

Issue Details

Solution

1. First download and install VI Package Manager.
2. Next, you must tell VIPM about your LabVIEW versions, so that it can install the OpenG libraries onto your LabVIEW versions. See the getting started documentation for instructions for this.
3. Check the network for packages -- this will let VIPM know which packages are available. This is also detailed in the getting started documentation. 
4. Install packages on your LabVIEW versions
   • Make sure that the ogrsc_dynamicpalette package is installed. This is necessary, in order to see the "OpenG" category in your functions palette
5. Restart your PC and you will now see the OpenG libraries in your pallette.
