NI-FGEN Standards Are Not Available in The Setup Wizard

This issue occurs when you upgrade to Calibration Executive 6.3 or 6.4 from an earlier version. When you perform a clean install of Calibration Executive 6.3 or 6.4, the Instrument driver for National Instruments Signal Generator option is available.

Workaround:

Perform the following steps to repair the NI-FGEN driver:
  1. Open the Command Prompt with Administrator privileges
  2. Execute the following command to repair the NI-FGEN driver installation: 
    • "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI Package Manager\nipkg.exe" repair ni-fgen-runtime-core
  4. Reboot the computer after the repair completes.
