This page shows the supported versions of NI FlexRIO drivers required for integrated and modular FlexRIO hardware. 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).
For information on NI FlexRIO Hardware Compatibility see NI FlexRIO Adapter and NI FlexRIO FPGA Module Compatibility.
Note that this article replaces KnowledgeBase 6CBED5QE: What Adapter Modules Are Supported on my NI FlexRIO? Some NI manuals may still reference the previous document. If you were redirected from the previous KnowledgeBase URL, please update your bookmarks accordingly.
NI FlexRIO Driver: Use the following steps to identify a NI FlexRIO Driver that is compatible with your hardware:
NI FlexRIO Adapter Module Support Driver: The FlexRIO Adapter Module Support Driver has been deprecated and replaced by the NI FlexRIO Driver. If you are not able to update your system to the NI FlexRIO Driver, use the following steps to identify compatible driver versions for your system:
