1 For information on activating DAQExpress, refer to Licensing Options and Support for NI DAQExpress. 2 Product does not support LabVIEW 2022 Q3. |
If you are using the Software Platform Bundle .NET Class Library, .NET Framework 4.0 (minimum) is required. The Software Platform Bundle 2022 Q3 .NET Class Library can be used with Visual C# or Visual Basic .NET in any Visual Studio version that can target .NET Framework 4.0 or .NET Framework 4.5.
To use the .NET API, you must install the .NET class libraries or the .NET wrapper in addition to the NI device driver. For information about versions of the .NET Framework and the drivers each supports, as well as the download location of the installer files, refer to .NET Resources for NI Hardware and Software.
Download the Software Platform Bundle installer from ni.com/downloads. NI software includes NI Package Manager to handle the installation. Refer to the NI Package Manager Manual for more information about installing, removing, and upgrading NI software using Package Manager.
Notes
You can also install products using the SPB USB drive. The SPB USB drive includes the majority of the NI software portfolio for building any application. Develop applications in multiple environments, including LabVIEW Professional, LabWindows™/CVI, NI TestStand™, and Measurement Studio™. The SPB contains all of the products included in the NI Alliance Partner Software (APS) and the NI Academic Volume License (AVL). The products that you can activate are determined by the type of license you purchased, and you can download additional products that you are entitled to from ni.com.
Complete the following steps to install products using the SPB media:
Save the media to modify/repair your installation or to distribute NI software with your custom-built installers.
All AVL software installs using SPB. You have full access to any software included in your purchased license.
For more information on activating and using AVL, refer to the following links.
Installing modules and toolkits from the Software Platform Bundle media ensures compatibility. Some versions of LabVIEW toolkits that are not found on the Software Platform Bundle media may not work with the version of LabVIEW included in this release. Installing an incompatible toolkit might cause some features in the toolkit or LabVIEW to behave incorrectly.
Visit ni.com/security to view and subscribe to receive security notifications about NI products. For information about critical updates from NI, refer to Available Critical and Security Updates for NI Software.
Visit NI Hardware and Operating System Compatibility to view driver, desktop operating system, and real-time operating system support for individual hardware devices.
To view information for your device:
Note: Some compatibility information may only be available in the archive attached to the NI Hardware and Operating System Compatibility page. For historic driver and OS support information, refer to the readme for the relevant driver version.
Refer to the readme of each product for examples.
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.
If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.6.2, 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 4.6.2 separately before you install NI software.
For more information about automating the installation of NI products, refer to Automating an Installer in the NI Package Manager manual.
For more information about NI support for Windows 10, refer to NI Product Compatibility for Microsoft Windows 10.
