Adding Network Devices

Adding Network Devices

Network Devices contains network and wireless devices available from this system. With Network Devices, you can view and configure devices connected over a network.

What is a network device?

A network device is any device that is accessible over a network or wireless connection. Such devices may be accessible by multiple computers and do not run a real-time operating system. Network devices are not the same as remote systems. A remote system denotes a real-time target that can be managed or configured over the network while a network device does not run a real-time operating system.

Only NI-VISA 4.6 and NI-DAQmx 9.0 and later support this feature. Devices that do not support this feature show up directly under Devices and Interfaces.
