visa server security tab not visible

[chrisvb]

I want to enable the visa server for remote visa connections to the serial port, when I go into MAX to setup the visa server security the tab is not visible. I have a 2nd system and I can see the tab. Is some setting needed to enable the security?

Hello Chris,

I would expect that this is because of a version difference in your two machines. What OS are they? What version of VISA are they using? You can see the VISA version in MAX under the software folder. Also, to clarify, are you speaking about the "VISA Options" tab that appears when you select NI-VISA from the software folder, or something else?

If you need to download a newer version of VISA, see here for all VISA versions:

Hope this helps.

I found the problem, on one system the remote module of VISA was not installed.
