AD2 and LabVIEW

[physmike]

I've read a few posts on this topic, but am still struggling to figure this out. I cannot seem to get LabVIEW to communicate with the AD2. I've tried the Digilent Waveform VI's and the AD2 toolkit (both installed from the VI Package manager). I have LabVIEW 2019, and Waveforms 3.12.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @physmike

Are you getting any errors ?
Take a look at the examples under Help/ Find Examples...

@attila, 

Thank you for your response. I do get errors when trying to use the tools. When trying the example you pointed to above I get the following:

Hi @physmike

It looks like you are using the AD toolkit, delete the dwf.dll as it is mentioned here:

Okay, yes, that worked, thank you very much!

But its funny, because when I tried doing that before I got a lot of broken dependencies. This time it was able to find another library that had the correct functions?

Hi @physmike

The dwf.dll is part of WaveForms Runtime which is included in the WF installer.
The LabView VIs call functions in this library.
The lib relies on device files which are included in the WF Runtime.

Having only the dll included in the toolkit is not suffice.
