Having difficulty downloading IVI and VISA DLLs

Solved!
Go to solution

I am trying to upgrade an C# app that I wrote many years ago. I have a new PC & development environment and I haven't been able to fetch the DLLs that I think are necessary.

 

The downloads work ok but when I try to install I get an error from the PackageManager along the lines of "None of the feeds can be updated".

 

I'm not using LabView or anything like that. I just want to communicate with a device (Rigol DG4062) using the VISA interface.

 

How can I get the basic drivers that I need?

Please post the snippet of the error from NIPM.

 

All that you need to do is install the VISA package from NIPM. Alternatively, you can download the offline installer from https://www.ni.com/en/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-visa.html

 

NIPM is not linked to LabVIEW in any way, it is a generic package manager for NI's products.

Thanks Santhosh.

 

I downloaded the "offline" version and was then able to install the packages. I has just assumed that the 2 options installed in similar ways...
