Thank you for purchasing a National Instruments VXIplug&play-compliant controller. To be
compliant with VXIplug&play specifications, a VXI controller must provide the VISA I/O
driverÊlibrary standardized by VXIplug&play. VISA ensures that your controller can run all
VXIplug&play-compatible software now and in the future, while NI-VXI and NI-488.2 ensure
that your controller can run the installed base of drivers and applications. The NI-VXI and/or
NI -488.2 driver software components are included with your controller, and the documentation
that accompanies your controller describes how to install and use them. This VXIplug&play
software kit includes NI-VISA, which is the National Instruments implementation of VISA, and
related documentation. This document describes how to use the Setup program to install your
NI -VISA software.
The NI-VISA software in this kit is compatible with both the WIN and GWIN frameworks. With
NI -VISA installed on your computer, you can run any VXIplug&play software that is compatible
with these frameworks. This includes instrument drivers and executable soft front panel software
that are included with VXIplug&play-compatible instruments from a variety of vendors.
Please also see the readme.txt file included with your software for the most up-to-date
information about this release of NI-VISA.
