Solution
- Download the LabVIEW DIAdem Connectivity VIs 2025 Q4.zip file from this article and unzip it locally to your computer
- Install the LabVIEW DIAdem Connectivity VIs into the "examples" and "vi.lib" folders of the LabVIEW version you want to use
Method 1 : manual install
Use the "examples" and "vi.lib" folders included in the unzipped LabVIEW DIAdem Connectivity VIs 2025 Q4 folder (hereinafter referred to as "this package") to install them in the appropriate locations for your LabVIEW version.
-
- Copy the "DIAdem" folder located in the "examples" folder of this package to the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW<version>\examples folder.
- Copy the "DIAdem" folder located in the "vi.lib\addons" folder of this package to the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW<version>\vi.lib\addons folder.
- Copy all libraries (.llb files) located in the "Platform\express" folder of this package to the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW<version>\vi.lib\Platform\express folder.
- If LabVIEW is open, please restart it for the changes to take effect.
Note: If you have multiple LabVIEW versions installed, you will need to perform the above steps for each version.
Method 2: Automated installation using a batch file
Instead of the manual procedure described above, you can use a batch file (.bat) to automatically copy the necessary folders and files to the specified directories. The following is an example: This batch file automatically copies the installation files stored on a USB drive (D drive) to the corresponding "examples" and "vi.lib" directories of LabVIEW 2026 64-bit installation .
/E: Copies everything, including subfolders and empty folders.
/I: Treats the destination as a folder (a folder will be created even if the destination does not exist).
/Y: Overwrites existing files automatically without displaying a confirmation message.
