Known Issues

You can access the software and documentation known issues list online. Refer to the NI website for an up-to-date list of known issues in NI-DAQmx.

Bug Fixes

The following items are the IDs and titles of a subset of issues fixed in NI-DAQmx 17.1. This is not an exhaustive list of issues fixed. If you have a CAR ID, you can search this list to validate that the issue has been fixed.

CAR ID	Summary
448042	Error -89137 when routing timebase in cDAQ chassis
579138, 612354	NI 9212 ADC Timing Mode cannot be changed in MAX/DAQ Assistant
609577	NI-DAQmx excitation voltage input threshold values are too close to absolute
617309	PXIe-4464 OpenCurrentLoop (open detection) and OverCurrent (short detection) is backwards
628216	C Series simulated devices return Error -50150 from DAQmx Set Temperature C Series Calibration VI

Automating the Installation of NI Products

You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes. However, starting with the August 2012 releases (products using NI Installers version 3.1 or later), you may need to perform additional steps before or during a silent installation of NI software.

If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.0, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.0 separately before you install NI software.

For more information about automating the installation of NI products, refer to the following KnowledgeBase articles:

For more information about silent installations of individual NI products, refer to KB 4CJDP38M, Automating the Installation of a Single Installer.
For more information about silent installations of NI products in a suite, such as NI Developer Suite, refer to KB 4GGGDQH0, How Do I Automate the Installation of a Suited Installer?.
To determine what version of NI Installers your product contains, refer to KB 4CJDR18M, How Can I Determine the Type and Version of My National Instruments Installer?.

Using NI Software with Microsoft Windows 10

Microsoft Windows 10 is the latest version of the Windows operating system and features significant changes compared to previous versions. Windows 10 introduces several new capabilities and also combines features from both Windows 7 and Windows 8. For more information about NI support for Windows 10, visit ni.com/windows10.

Using NI Software with Microsoft Windows 8.1

When you install NI software on Microsoft Windows 8.1, you will notice a few additional tiles in the Apps view, including shortcuts to NI application software products such as NI LabVIEW, Measurement & Automation Explorer (NI MAX), and NI Launcher. For more information about NI support for Windows 8.1, visit ni.com/windows8.

LabVIEW NXG Support and Considerations

If you are using LabVIEW NXG 1.0, you can upgrade to NI-DAQmx 17.1 without breaking the compatibility of existing applications. However, newly supported features and devices in NI-DAQmx 17.1 will not be available.
