A protocol violation error occurs when using an NI PXIe-1075 chassis
When routing triggers across segments on the NI PXIe-1075 chassis, a protocol violation error may occur. The NI PXIe-1075 has three bus segments: slots 1 through 6, slots 7 through 12, and slots 13 through 18. If the devices are located in different segments, this issue may occur. Some features, such as NI-TClk, when used for synchronization applications, internally route triggers.

Installation interrupted by security dialog boxes
When you run setup.exe to install the software from the DVD, you are prompted to choose whether you want to always trust software from National Instruments. If you do not select this option, your installation may be interrupted by one or more Microsoft Windows security dialog boxes. However, if you run the installer in silent mode from the command line, you do not receive this prompt, and the installer automatically installs NI's Software Publisher Certificate to your Windows Trusted Publisher Store. If you do not want to make this change to your Windows Trusted Publisher Store, do not choose this installation method.
