Note: If you purchased this product with an NI Software Suite or NI Product Bundle, use the installation media that shipped with your purchase to install this product.
Some NI components require Microsoft Silverlight. If you do not have Silverlight installed on your computer, but you do have Internet access, you can download the installer from Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/. If you do not have Internet access, you can install Silverlight from this NI distribution media.
You may not use any H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and/or VC-1 technology or codecs included in or with Microsoft Silverlight software which may be provided by NI as Third Party Software, including for the purpose of encoding or decoding video in compliance with, or making use of, the H.264/AVC visual standard or the VC-1 video standard.
If you create and distribute software applications that contain NI components that also use Microsoft Silverlight, you may be authorized to include Silverlight in installers or on physical media as long as you comply with certain requirements. Refer to the notice.txt file in the <National Instruments>\_Legal Information\Microsoft Silverlight 4.0 directory or the NI standard End User License Agreement (EULA) located in the <National Instruments>\Common\MDF\EULADepot\NIReleased directory for more information.
The DSC Module relies on licensing activation. You have a temporary license for a 30-day evaluation period. If you do not activate the DSC Module license, the DSC Module operates in evaluation mode, by default, for a 30-day evaluation period. When the evaluation period expires, you cannot use the DSC features, and LabVIEW hides the DSC VIs and user interfaces. You must activate a valid DSC Module license to continue using the DSC Module.
Refer to the LabVIEW Release Notes for more information about licensing in LabVIEW.
The NI OPC Servers application installed with the DSC Module provides a temporary license for a two-hour evaluation period. You must activate a valid license to continue using the NI OPC Servers application after the evaluation period expires.
This version includes the following new VIs:
