N6700 Drivers for LV2020

[UnkleQuacker]

I have LV2020 SP1 (32bit) installed and need to install the LabVIEW drivers for an Agilent N6700 power supply. On the NI page here: Agilent N6700 Series Power Supply - USB, Ethernet, IEEE 488.2 (GPIB), LXI Driver for LabVIEW - Natio... there are drivers for 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2021, and NXG.

Which version should I download and use?  I previously used 2015 as I was using LV2015, so I have drivers for that version of LabVIEW, but when trying to open those drivers and convert them to 2020 I get errors for missing items where it's looking for files in the in the (x86)\NI\LV2020\N6700 folder, which doesn't exist.  I've tried using the Tools/Instrumentation/Find instruments wizard, but it won't run as it says I don't have an internet connection (probably firewall/VPN issue that is out of my control).  

Which driver package should I use? Should I just copy the N6700 from LV2015 into the LV2020 folder and open each file individually to convert from 2015 to 2020?

Simply download the zipped content for LV2018 (since you are using LV2020) to C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2020\instr.lib then you are good to go.

You should be able to copy the driver from your LabVIEW 2015\instr.lib to LabVIEW 2020\instr.lib.  From there, Tools->Advanced->Mass Compile to update the VIs to 2020.

Done.  Works perfectly, thank you for the prompt reply.
