Go to solution

Hello,

on a new windows 7 computer i installed first Teststand 2014 and the NI Switch.

On another computer with the same installation there it shows:

[-] Mein System

[-]Geräte und Schnittstellen

[+] Ni Switch Executive Virtual Devices.

 

This last section ist not visisble on the new installed computer.

 

What is missing?

 

Thanks

OnlyOne,

 

NI-SWITCH is the Driver that controls NI Brand Switch Modules.

NI Switch Executive is the application software that allows you to set up advanced configurations in Virtual Devices to use the NI-SWITCH or IVI-SWTCH driver.

 

You will need to install NI Switch Executive to be able to see the last section. ( NI Switch Executive 2015 Download Page )

Ok, now its working.

It is not so clear on the "NI Software Platform Bundle" USB Stick.

Had to install NI-SE instead of NI-Switch.

Thanks for the fast help
