NI LabVIEW Instrument Driver Development Studio 1.0 Discussion Thread

Hi,

Looks like a REAL NICE Tool! 

I'm trying to create a driver for new equipment now.  I'm running into a problem creating a polymorphic vi.  How is it done?  Do I need to start with a template containing a polymorphic?

Can I create my own templates?

Do you have any updated documentation?

Thanks,

Doug

Hi Doug,

Thanks for trying this tool!

There are three questions in your post. I would try to answer them as following.

1. How could user create polymorphic VI in this tool?

This tool does not support generating the polymorphic VI directly. But you could still design the couple of VIs manipulated by the poly VI and generate it automatically.

You may need to create the poly VI manually via LabVIEW menu "File >> New... >> Polymorphic VI" and add the manipulated VIs by hand.

2. Can users create their own templates?

No. So far, there are only 8 build-in templates support by this tool. User cannot save their own templates.

3. Any updated documentation?            

Recently, the latest version 1.1 of this tool was just released on website (link). It supports  LabVIEW 2012. You could get the updated document from the "Help  >> Help" menu in this tool.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Charles

Hello All,

Later today, we plan to post an updated version (1.1) of the Instrument Driver Development Studio, which now includes support for LabVIEW 2012.  I have posted a new discussion thread for version 1.1. 

Please post all future questions to the new discussion thread.
