视觉论坛的各种资源，除了视觉相关的模块有使用外，大部分的都不会使用，所以仅提供资源不能提供技术支持。资源的下载地址一般会同时提供NI官方地址和百度网盘的下载地址。某些工具包NI的地址失效或没有NI的下载地址，那视觉论坛也没有办法，只能尝试使用百度网盘地址下载；如果百度网盘的下载地址失效过期，可联系论坛客服更新。现在NI的下载服务器对我国IP地址不是很友好，有些时候速度很慢或大的资源下载很容易出错，这样会造成安装过程各种类型报错而无法安装。建议在下载完成后，对下载资源做校验和验证（NI一般会提供MD5或SHA256等），与官方或视觉论坛提供的校验和对比，一致就可以安装，如果不一致，则需要重新下载。视觉论坛早期下载的资源，那时候NI没有这么多限制，基本上都是正常下载的资源；后期下载的资源，都与NI的正确校验和对比过，保证是正确的资源才上传到百度网盘，所以百度网盘的资源基本上是正确的。校验和工具下载地址：

NI-VISA为使用GPIB、串行、PXI和其他类型仪器的用户提供支持。
NI-VISA是一个NI仪器驱动程序，是虚拟仪器软件架构(VISA) I/O标准的具体实现。虚拟仪器软件架构(VISA)这一标准用于配置和编程基于GPIB、VXI、PXI、串口(RS232/485)、以太网/LXI和/或USB接口的仪器系统以及故障分析。NI-VISA包括实用程序、底层控制功能和范例，可帮助您快速创建应用程序。
注意，NI-VISA从VISA14.0版开始，使用年代名称来命名，即14代表的是2014年，不再延续之前的5.X之类的名称。而在VISA5.4.1及之前的版本，则是使用数字版本来命名的，5并不是代表着2005年之类的。

| LabWindows/CVI | 2013/2012/2010/9.0 |
| Measurement Studio | 2013/2012/2010/2009 |
Measurement Studio Examples
The directories that the Measurement Studio examples install to depends on which component is installed, the version of Visual Studio or the .NET Framework the example supports, the version of Measurement Studio installed, and the operating system. For detailed information on examples for Measurement Studio, refer to Where to Find Examples in the NI Measurement Studio Help.
Microsoft Visual Studio Support
The following table lists the programming languages and Microsoft Visual Studio versions supported by this version of NI-VISA. Earlier versions of NI-VISA support other application software and language versions. For more information on Visual Studio compatibility with earlier versions of VISA, refer to ni.com/info and enter the info code NETlegacydrivers. To find and download an earlier version of a driver, refer to ni.com/downloads.
| Programming Language | Visual Studio Versions Support by NI-VISA |
| Visual C++ MFC1 | 20082 |
.NET Framework 3.5 Languages
(Visual C# and Visual Basic .NET) | 2008 |
.NET Framework 4.0 Languages
(Visual C# and Visual Basic .NET) | 20103 |

2 Requires Measurement Studio 8.6 — Measurement Studio 2009.
3 With Windows XP, Service Pack 3 or later is required.
4 Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, or Windows Server 2008 R2 is required.
|
If you are using the NI-VISA .NET Library, the .NET 3.5 Framework, .NET 4.0 Framework, or .NET 4.5 Framework is required.
Support for 64-bit applications is available in NI-VISA 4.5.1 and later for Visual Studio 2008 support, NI-VISA 5.0.3 and later for Visual Studio 2010 support, and NI-VISA 5.4 and later for Visual Studio 2012 support.
Installing and Uninstalling NI-VISA 14.0.1
Before you install NI-VISA 14.0.1, National Instruments recommends that you uninstall any versions of VISA prior to NI-VISA 2.0.1.
After uninstalling NI-VISA, some DLLs and executables may remain in the NI-VISA directories. To complete the uninstall process, you must restart your machine.
Note: The uninstaller application does not notify you when rebooting is necessary. If you plan to reinstall NI-VISA, you always should reboot the machine after running the uninstaller.
You can programmatically install NI-VISA. You also can programmatically control which features of NI-VISA are enabled for installation, allowing you to install a subset of the NI-VISA feature list. Refer to the spec.ini file in the same directory as this readme for more information about installing NI-VISA programmatically and selecting which features to install.
Agilent/HP Controller Support
NI-VISA now works with Agilent/HP GPIB and VXI controller cards. To use this feature, go into MAX, select Tools»NI-VISA»VISA Options, choose the Passports tab, and enable the NiVisaTulip.dll Passport. NI-VISA automatically finds and accesses any GPIB or VXI devices. However, NI-VISA does not configure the Agilent/HP hardware; you still must do that with the Agilent/HP I/O Config utility.
If you have both National Instruments and Agilent/HP controllers in the same system, you must configure the cards at different system addresses, such as GPIB0 and GPIB1. If both vendors try to use the same interface address, NI-VISA reports an error from viFindRsrc or VISA Find Resources.
WHQL Signing USB Hardware
To WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) sign your USB hardware using the NI-VISA driver for Windows XP/2000, as part of this process you need a PDB (Program DataBase) file for the underlying driver (NiViUsbK.sys).
NiViUsbK.pdb is provided for this purpose. It is in <NI-VISA Installation Directory>WinNTNIvisaUSB.
Creating and Digitally Signing Catalog Files
On Windows Vista and Windows 7, if you generate an INF file using the NI-VISA Driver Wizard, the INF file installs correctly by itself. However, a warning dialog notifies you that Windows cannot verify the publisher of this driver software. To avoid this dialog, you must create and digitally sign a Windows Catalog (.cat) file.
For more information about creating and signing catalog files, Microsoft has a Kernel-Mode Code Signing Walkthrough whitepaper that describes the details of this process. The generated catalog file should reference only the INF file.

Added support for 64-bit data transfers in register-based operations, to support the VISA 4.0 specification.
NI-VISA Updates and Notifications
National Instruments posts information about critical updates and security notifications on ni.com. Visit ni.com/info and enter Info Code updates to access this information.
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, Automating 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?.
