LabVIEW
vi.lib not found
Solved!
Hi all,
I'm facing some issue with the RTwatchdog library, the topic is that when I started a project I used to use Labview 2015 SP1 with the addons for FPGA and Real time without any problem, all the code I had worked properly and there wasn't missed dependencies.
Last week I installed a new version of Labview (Labview 2024 Q3) with the same addons I used to use in my previous installation with the aim of having both installations completely functionals, but it seems that something has happened with the older one because is not longer works.
Now I'm not able to find C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2015\Targets\NI\RT\vi.lib\RTwatchdog.llb neither Watchdog expiration actions.ctl
Are both Labview versions compatible, I mean, is it possible to have them installed together in a computer?
Hi Oscar,
LV2019 still has the RTWatchdog in this place:
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2019\Targets\NI\RT\vi.lib

I had it on that folder but it seems that something has changed after installing a Labview never version, in this case Labview 2024.
I tried to install again the Real Time Engine but nothing change. Now I can just open the project with the new Labview version not with the 2015 that is the one that I need...
Some common rules:
- get the latest working version from your SCC system to start over
- LabVIEW itself can be installed in parallel in several version, but not modules/drivers (like DAQmx or RT(FPGA)
- stick with your LV2015 when you have created the RT executable with that version
- use separate computers (or VMs) to handle different LabVIEW version so far apart (9+ years!)
