Solution
Note: if you are dynamically calling the missing VI's, check here instead.
After downloading the Instrument Driver , make sure you are extracting the entire .zip folder to the instr.lib folder on your computer which is located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW <version>\instr.lib
After doing so, you can place the Plug and Play VI's on a VI's Bock Diagram with the following steps:
- Right-click on the Block Diagram.
- Navigate to Instrument I/O » Instr Drivers » <Plug and Play Instrument Driver Name>.
- Left-click the specific Plug and Play VI you wish to place on the Block Diagram and place it like you would any other VI.
Adding the Plug and Play VI's to any VI in a project will automatically update that project's dependencies. An example of this is shown below using the Agilent Technologies / Keysight Technologies 34401A Plug and Play Driver:
After the dependencies are update, you should be able to build and run your application
as you normally would with no additional steps.
