Can you please specify which version of the developer suite test edition you are talking about: Standard or Professional edition?

The Pro edition is the one that includes NI Switch Executive. NI-SWITCH is the instrument driver software for controlling NI switch hardware products.

NI-SWITCH is the driver that allows you to talk to any National Instruments Switches.

NI Switch Executive is a configuration tool designed to simplify switching systems. With NI Switch Executive, you can do the following:

  • Develop multiple device switch systems represented as a single virtual device
  • Create end-to-end signal routing
  • Route selections based on signal characteristics and switch capabilities
  • Create route groups used to make intelligent resource selections when creating routes
  • Create switch routing for end-to-end calibration and maximum execution speed
  • Create aliases for channels
  • Preconfigure routes and route groups that can be called by name at run time
  • Control NI and IVI-compliant third-party switches
  • Generate a report of your switching system
I have attached a picture to show the correlation of NI-SWITCH and NI Switch Executive.
