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：

Microsoft Visual Studio Support for the IVI-Compliant NI-VISA .NET Class Library
If you are using the IVI-compliant NI-VISA .NET API, the .NET 4.0 Framework (minimum) is required. You can use the NI-VISA .NET Class Library with the Visual C# or Visual Basic .NET programming languages in any Visual Studio version that can target the .NET 4.0 Framework or later. You can use the NI-VISA .NET Class Library in 32-bit or 64-bit applications.
NI-VISA example projects are available in your Users/Public/Documents/National Instruments/NI-VISA/Examples directory.
Microsoft Visual Studio Support for the VisaNS .NET Class Library
Note: The Measurement Studio VisaNS .NET class library is being deprecated and superseded by an IVI-compliant NI-VISA .NET API. Refer to the New Features and Improvements section for more information.
The following table lists the programming languages and Microsoft Visual Studio versions supported by this version of the VisaNS .NET Class Library. 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 Supported by VisaNS |
.NET Framework 4.0 Languages
(Visual C# and Visual Basic .NET) | 2010 |
.NET Framework 4.5 Languages
(Visual C# and Visual Basic .NET) | 2012 |
.NET Framework 4.5.1 Languages
(Visual C# and Visual Basic .NET) | 2013 |
Installing and Uninstalling NI-VISA
Before you install NI-VISA 15.5, NI 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.
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 NI 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
(Windows Vista, 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.
(Windows 8.x) If you generate an INF file using the NI-VISA Driver Wizard, you must create and digitally sign a Windows Catalog (.cat) file before you can install the INF file on a Windows 8.x machine. For more information about digitally signing a .cat file for Windows 8.x, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code INFWin8.
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.

On Pocket PC 2003/Windows Mobile 5.0 devices, the NI-VISA configuration file visaconf.ini was installed as read-only. This caused problems with serial port detection. Now it is writable.
In MAX, the IP address of TCPIP INSTR and SOCKET resources was not shown when the resource was configuring using a hostname. This IP address is now shown.
NI-VISA Server now warns if it is launched and there are no permissions set to allow clients to connect.
The NI-VISA Driver Wizard now has an option for PXI Express devices that provide a way to read the slot number using a sequence of register-level accesses.
The enabled/disabled state of Passports is preserved across upgrades of NI-VISA.
NI-VISA 4.0
Added support for 64-bit data transfers in register-based operations, to support the VISA 4.0 specification.
Driver Version Naming Changes
NI-VISA versions are now aligned with the versions of major NI application software products. This alignment gives you information about the year the driver was released and the most recent software version the driver was designed to work with. Driver versions now start with a two-digit year indicator: <;ProductName><Year-BasedVersion>. For example, NI-VISA 15.0.0 is the version released with LabVIEW 2015. The last version released under the old numbering scheme is NI-VISA 5.4. The first version released under the new numbering scheme is NI-VISA 14.0.0.
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?.
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.
