Updated Oct 20, 2022

개요

This page shows supported versions of the NI-VISA hardware driver with the Linux, MacOS and Microsoft Windows operating systems. Reference this information to ensure you install the correct version when upgrading or updating your operating system, or when migrating or porting code to a new system. Using incompatible versions may result in errors, the inability for Windows to recognize or detect and then find a driver for your device, or missing devices in Windows Device Manager or NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).
