NI-XNET Bus Monitor on LinuxRT Logs Timestamps in UTC Instead of Local Time

On LinuxRT systems, log files generated by the NI-XNET Bus Monitor record timestamps in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), whereas on other supported operating systems, timestamps are recorded in local time.

Workaround:

Users may perform post-processing on the log files to manually convert the UTC timestamps to the appropriate local time. Do note that the post-processing should be reverted if the NI-XNET driver is upgraded to a newer version that is no longer affected by this issue.

Internal Error During NI-XNET Session Creation with FIBEX Files with Missing Information

When attempting to create a session using a FIBEX file that lacks COMPU-METHOD information within the CODING element, the NI-XNET driver may encounter an internal error. This issue arises due to incomplete signal definition metadata required for session initialization.

Workaround:

Open the affected FIBEX file in the NI-XNET Database Editor and save it. This process automatically adds the missing COMPU-METHOD information, allowing session creation to proceed without error.

Reported Version:

NI-XNET: 2025 Q3

Resolved Version:

NI-XNET: 2026 Q1
