Hi Tonnie,
The NI-XNET driver supports Automotive Ethernet, CAN, LIN and FlexRay networks.
NI-DNET and NI-Industrial Communications for DeviceNet support DeviceNet. See here for more information on the differences.
NI-DNET offers support for some of our older Legacy products, while NI-Industrial Communications for DeviceNet 2.1 (or later) adds NI-DNET 1.6.x compatible LabVIEW VIs that will work with your NI PXI-8532.
In Short:
This document lists the earliest versions of software that are compatible with your PXI-8532 card.
You'll need NI-Industrial Communications for DeviceNet. Version 16.0 is the earliest version that supports Windows 10.
Hope this helps!
