GPIB Controller for Hi-Speed USB and Licensing policy

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi,

I wanted to confirm the understanding on the licensing for NI VISA.

 

If I am using NI GPIB Controller for Hi-Speed USB, is the license to use NI VISA are included?  NI 488.2 driver is CD is included along so I guess its licensed.

 

As per licensing policy as long as you use NI hardware the License in included.

Following is the sentence that makes this clear.

 

"Examples of products that include NI-VISA are LabVIEW, CVI, TestStand, NI-488.2, GPIB controllers, PXI controllers, etc. If you are not using any NI software or hardware, you can purchase NI-VISA Development Software separately."

 

So my understanding is NI-VISA and NI 488.2 license is included if using NI GPIB Controller  for Hi Speed USB.

 

Thanks

Ani

That is true and you can deploy a smaller NI-VISA runtime with your executable.
