LabView can't see ULx user libraries

[tomatcbl]

I have downloaded Instacal and the ULx libraries.  Instacal can see my USB1608G and will "flash" LED as a sign of communication.  I can read a set voltage on Ch0H

When I start LabView and go to the User Libraries section, ULx is not visible.  I have looked on line and there were comments about multiple copies of cb.cfg and a specific dll file being duplicated.  This doesn't seem to be the problem.   What am I missing

Instacal v 6.74

LabView 2023 Q3

c:/.../ProgramFiles/National Instruments/Lab View 2023/ v.lib/ULx exists in the directory structure

 

Many thanks,  Tom

Sometimes, for reasons unknown, the menu file gets misplaced or is not installed. I've attached the menu file. Copy it to ..\LabView 2023\User.Lib\ and restart LabVIEW.

ULx.mnu

Magic - thank you John.  Worked flawlessly

Hello. I have the same problem. ULx has been placed in the following folder, with no menu file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2024\vi.lib\ULx

I'm using LabVIEW 32 bit on a 64 bit Windows.

Could you attach the ULx.mnu file again please. Should I move ULx from vi.lib to User.lib?

Thanks,

Garrett

Hello @GarrettC.

The ULx.mnu file is attached to the post above.  With NI LabVIEW 2024 (32-bit) closed, download and save the ULx.mnu file to the C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2024\user.lib directory and then launch LabVIEW.  Do not move the other folders.

Regards,

Fausto

I have a similar problem. When I go into my files for LabVIEW, under Windows/ Program files (x86)/ National Instruments / Labview 2024 / vi.lib, there is no ULx library file there. I recently had to transfer my work to a new computer. Did I miss re-downloading some component or is there a file that should be moved there from another space in my files?

I found this out because when I go into labview block diagram, under functions/ user libraries/ ulx for ni labview, all of the ULx controls have question marks over them. However, when I redownloaded all programs, I made sure to download the ULx.mnu file into my Windows/ Program files (x86)/ National Instruments / Labview 2024 / user.lib, so I don't think that is the problem. 

Please let me know if you can help with this issue! Thank you!

Nevermind, I think I got it to work. It turns out that my ULx libraries were under LV24.0DIR64 instead of Program Files (x86)/National Instruments / LabVIEW 2024 / vi.lib, so I moved the library from the first location to the latter.

Actually, I seem to be having this problem with many different sub VIs and other modules in both the 'Functions' and 'Controls' Palettes. I must be missing some download when I transferred my work from my previous computer to this one. Can anyone identify if there is a specific program I need to download to the missing programs back? Specifically, how can I get the Controls and Simulations / LV Simulations sub-vi palette working? I have attached some images of the missing modules below.

Thank you!

I was skeptical when you mentioned that you found the libraries in LV24.0DIR64. ULx is usually found in the following locations:

 ..\National Instruments\Shared\ULx

 ..\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2024\Examples\ULx

 ..\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2024\VI.Lib\ULx

Did you try removing and reinstalling ULx?
