Thorlab Long travel stage

Hi everyone,

I am using travel stage. I got an erorr (in photo), although I have done all the same step with manual. 

Interestingly if I open Kinesis labview examples projent and then my vi it works. But if I open the same file without examples project I get an error.

What do you think is the problem here?

 

Thank you in advance

Kinesis uses .NET and has a lot of DLLs, over 100 of them.  They have a lot of interdependencies on each other.

 

And for annoying .NET reasons, if you load a project file instead of loading a .vi and nothing else, it handles .NET dependencies differently.

 

If you look at the Kinesis for LabVIEW PDF here:

You can see that it's pretty old, using LabVIEW 2012, but one of the first instructions is to create a project in a new folder and copy all the DLL files there.  This isn't just them showing people who don't use LabVIEW much how to do basic operations, it's actually needed for their DLLs to work.
