Hi Madhur Kohli,
While it is true that its not supported on Windows 7 x64, the reason is because of the dependencies on Legacy Software. The PXI-5102 is dependent on our NI-DAQ (Traditional DAQ driver), which is no longer maintained. Our newer digitizers/oscilloscopes rely on the NI-DAQmx driver, which provides the OS support that you need.
If you are required to use Windows 7 x64, then you will need to upgrade your hardware. The PXI-5114 would be the minimal upgrade I would reccomend. Or the PXI-5105 if you want to use more channels.

I hope this helps!

I have not tried this, so do not know if it works (I do not have an available 5102), but you can try to run the card using DAQmx. The 5102 is essentially an overclocked E series DAQ board. Over a decade ago, I programmed them using DAQ (pre DAQmx). E series boards are supported by DAQmx on 64-bit OSes (Vista is the last supported version), so you may be able to use DAQmx to run the card. If you try, please let us know if it works.
This trick will not work for the 5112.

Could somebody confirm if the PXI-5102 digitizer might be working with Windows 7 x64? In the worst case, reinstalling the PXI controller OS to windows 7 x32 could be a solution for running the card? Thanks a lot!

HI AI_1691,
As stated in the readme for the NI-SCOPE 4.1.3, the 5102 is not supported in any 64-bit version of Windows. It is, however, supported in the 32-bit versions. If you decide to change your OS to a 32-bit version, ensure that any other devices in your PXI chassis are compatible with the version you are installing.
Thanks,
