how to make an instrument driver appear in toolbox

[BrentSchenk]

Hi,

i created an instrument driver using the create new instrument driver project option.  I have all the VIs in place in the project and have saved the whole thing, library and all into the instr.lib folder and have restarted labview and the VIs are still not showing up under instrument i/o -> instrument drivers option.  could someone please go over the process or just tell me what i might be missing to have these drivers show up in the toolbox!

Thanks for help,

brent schenk

From the Getting Started Menu >> Browse

From the Create New window >> project >> project from wizard >> Instrument driver project

select New driver from template

select the type of instrument you have

Click next

**Make sure the project location is correct. I think this is where you are going wrong.**

It should say something like, C://Program Files/National Instruments/LabVIEW 8.5/instr.llb/yourproject/yourproject.lvproj

If you have this directory correct, it should show up under the instrument library
