Legal Information

NI-VISA is the NI implementation of the Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA), a standard for configuring, programming, and troubleshooting instrumentation systems comprising GPIB, VXI, PXI, Serial, Ethernet, and/or USB interfaces.

NI-VISA 2022 Q3 supports the following platforms:

While this distribution targets all of these platforms, you can run setup.exe only on the Windows variants.

Visit NI-VISA and OS Compatibility and NI-VISA Features and OS Compatibility pages to view supported operating systems for different releases and feature support for various operating systems.

Note    NI-VISA no longer supports Windows Vista/XP/7/8.1, Windows Server 2003/2008/2012, or any 32-bit Windows operating system. NI-VISA 2022 Q3 will not install or run on an unsupported OS. You cannot deploy or distribute applications that use NI-VISA 2022 Q3 to an unsupported OS. Additionally, after installing NI-VISA 2022 Q3 on a supported OS computer, you cannot create any installers containing any version of LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, NI TestStand™, or Measurement Studio for an unsupported OS computer.

For detailed information about NI operating system support, visit http://www.ni.com/r/win32bitsupport.

NI-VISA 2022 Q3 supports the following application software versions, including service packs. If you are not using NI application software, refer to Microsoft Visual Studio Support.

If you are using the IVI-compliant NI-VISA .NET Class Library, the .NET 4.6.2 Framework (minimum) is required. You can use the NI-VISA .NET Class Library with the Visual C# or Visual Basic .NET programming languages in any Visual Studio version that can target the .NET 4.0 Framework or later. You can use the NI-VISA .NET Class Library in 32-bit or 64-bit applications.

Note: The Measurement Studio VisaNS .NET Class Library is being deprecated and superseded by an IVI-compliant NI-VISA .NET Class Library. Refer to the New Features section for more information.

You can install all of your LabVIEW products—including NI-VISA—using the LabVIEW 2019 or later platform media.

To request additional LabVIEW platform media, visit ni.com/r/media.

Note

Before you install NI-VISA 2022 Q3, NI recommends that you uninstall any versions of VISA prior to NI-VISA 2.0.1.

After uninstalling NI-VISA, some DLLs and executables may remain in the NI-VISA directories. To complete the uninstall process, you must restart your machine.

Note: The uninstaller application does not notify you when rebooting is necessary. If you plan to reinstall NI-VISA, you always should reboot the machine after running the uninstaller.

When installing NI-VISA, the "NI-VISA Support for LabVIEW" package will be recommended if you have already installed LabVIEW 2022 or later and installs to the LVAddons directory. This package supports applications using NI-VISA with LabVIEW 2022 or later.

LVAddons directory location: C:\Program Files\NI\LVAddons

NI-VISA now works with Agilent/HP GPIB and VXI controller cards. To use this feature, go into MAX, select Tools»NI-VISA»VISA Options, choose the Passports tab, and enable the NiVisaTulip.dll Passport. NI-VISA automatically finds and accesses any GPIB or VXI devices. However, NI-VISA does not configure the Agilent/HP hardware; you still must do that with the Agilent/HP I/O Config utility.

If you have both NI and Agilent/HP controllers in the same system, you must configure the cards at different system addresses, such as GPIB0 and GPIB1. If both vendors try to use the same interface address, NI-VISA reports an error from viFindRsrc or VISA Find Resources.

(Windows 10 or higher) If you generate an INF file using the NI-VISA Driver Wizard, you must create and digitally sign a Windows Catalog (.cat) file before you can install the INF file on a Windows 10 (or higher) machine. For more information about digitally signing a .cat file for Windows 10 (or higher), visit ni.com/r/infwin8.

For more information about creating and signing catalog files, please refer to Creating a Catalog File for Test-Signing a Driver Package.

Added support for LabVIEW 2022 Q3

Refer to the NI-VISA Help, accessible from LabVIEW by selecting Help>>LabVIEW Help, for information about NI-VISA.

Select Help>>Find Examples from LabVIEW to launch the NI Example Finder. LabVIEW examples for NI-VISA are located in the labview\examples\Instrument IO\VISA directory. You can modify an example VI to fit an application, or you can copy and paste from one or more examples into a VI that you create.

You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes.

If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.6.2, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.6.2 separately before you install NI software.

For more information about automating the installation of NI products, refer to Automating an Installer in the NI Package Manager manual.

NI Software no longer supports Phar Lap ETS Real-Time Operating System. Versions of this product that ship after May 1, 2022, may not install or execute correctly on this operating system. For high-level information on the support roadmap for Phar Lap and its replacement, NI Linux Real-Time, visit ni.com/r/xf35k1. To find out what hardware is supported on PXI controllers running NI Linux Real-Time, visit ni.com/r/b7g5wi.
