NI Instrument Driver Finder did not return any results

I usually start at the the equipment manufacturers website as they will have the most up to date drivers for their instrument.

Then try looking in the Instrument Driver Network (IDNet)

Also me facing this issue; did anyone find a solution for this fault ?

Hi Hamoda,

did you notice message #2 from RTSLVU?

[HamodaGA]

Hi GerdW

Yes i noticed it, but i'm trying to fix this issue as it's more easy and fast to Plug Instrument and Install driver directly instead of two or three steps.

Right, NI is trying to make it easier, but honestly you can't depend on this working (as you can see) or providing the most recent instrument driver when it does work.

Every instrument manufacturer writes their own drivers, some are contracted out to NI, some are even written by LabVIEW users. But all of them are voluntarily provided to NI's Instrument Driver Network instrument manufacturers are under no obligation to provide a driver to the IDN nor is NI.

I have the same problem , and yes I finally found a driver and installed it manually

HOWEVER

This is still an annoying malfunction in the LabVIEW IDE and should be fixed!
