LabView Can't find connected instruments

[AbinashB]

Yes, I am aware of it but the LabView programs that I will be running are pre-written and include sub VIs that come with the drivers. I guess these programs wont run without the drivers then...will they !? 

Thank you

I did go to NI instrument driver network and found the drivers for standford research 830 and keithley 2000 against LabView 18.0. But when i click on download, nothing happens !!

Read the informations of your webbrowser more carefully:

I can download the file - after allowing the download… (FF117.0.1, tested with SR830.)

Thank you very much...! that worked...this time I opened from a different browser and i could see a pop up...earlier there was no pop up..!!

Now that I have the files, I dont see any 'setup.exe' file to install....shall I just go paste these in instr.lib in program files\labview2018 ??

Basically yes.

The lvproj expects the files in this location:

(I used LV2019 to open the project.)

I pasted the folders in Program files\LabView2018\instr.lib and now they are showing in Instrument IO palette in LabView. But there are no subVI s that are listed there...!! i am attaching a screenshot showing that...

Hi Greg 

Its showing now. The 'Keithley' and 'Standford Research' folders that i pasted had another folder with same name inside because they were extracted that way. Now I have pasted just the Keithley and SR folder with the necessary files. Thank you very much..!!
