I have LabVIEW 6i on a virtual machine and I can't find those VIs.
I still have to side on you with the custom sub-VI theory. Look at the names of the VIs:
binRead.vi I could make a case for saying it's an included function. But look at all the other names. Don't they strongly suggest that they are "helper" sub-VIs to calculate values for use within the main VI itself?
I know it is only inference, and by itself wouldn't mean much, but "candlestick" doesn't mean anything either, until combined with "Colonel Mustard" and "Study." 😉

They are probably part of a toolkit as like mentioned before I was looking for the JtfaEngine.VI and it was part of the Signal Processing toolkit.
Now how do I get the "path" for these?

Actually, Dennis, I think this was the first time how to determine the path of the missing Sub-VIs was mentioned. 😉

It's actually pretty straighforward. Open the software you are having trouble with. Every time it can't a sub-VI you'll get a "searching" dialog box. If it can't find the sub-VI, you'll be presented with a file dialog box asking you where it is.

When your top-level VI loads it tries to load the subVI, indicating the path in the search dialog.

Wow! I stand (or sit) corrected. Hat-tip plus kudos warranted.

Hello,
First of all, this is the message I get when loading the VI:
An error ocurred loading VI"binRead.vi".
LabVIEW load error code 10: VI version (5.1.1) is to old to convert to the current LabVIEW version (8.6.1)
Now this is the path I get:
Loading:
C:\Documents and Settings\montoye\Desktop\HAWK GUIs\Strip Chart Source\HawkStripChart.vi\binRead.vi
