Why is NI Spy Now Named NI I/O Trace?

Primary Software: Utility Software>>NI I/O Trace
Primary Software Version: 3.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
Previously, I used NI Spy to debug National Instruments API calls, but I noticed with a recent driver installation this application no longer exists. Instead, I see NI I/O Trace installed. What is NI I/O Trace, and what happened to NI Spy?

Solution:
Starting with version 3.0, released in August 2011, NI Spy was renamed NI I/O Trace. The application was renamed to more accurately describe what it's used for. NI I/O Trace has the same functionality as NI Spy, and is backwards compatible with the existing NI Spy API. NI I/O Trace can also open old .spy files. For any technical questions regarding NI Spy or NI I/O Trace, contact National Instruments Support at ni.com/support.
