NI-FGEN Supported Versions for NI-FGEN Devices and Modules

Updated Feb 4, 2020

Overview

This page shows the supported versions of NI-FGEN are required with Function Generators, Arbitrary Function Generators and Arbitrary Waveform Generators. Reference this information to ensure you install the correct driver version when upgrading or updating your system, when migrating or porting code to a new system, or after the purchase and installation of new NI hardware. Using incompatible versions may result in errors, the inability for your operating system to recognize or detect and then find a driver for your device, or missing devices in NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).
