USB 3.0 Support by NI-VISA driver

[dragon1]

Hello. 

I was wondering if NI-VISA has or will have official support for USB3.0.

From what I searched, it seems unclear if USB 3.0 is currently supported or not.

NI-VISA 5.3 - No support  https://forums.ni.com/t5/forums/forumtopicpage/board-id/232/message-id/14381/agent-type/internal-cra...

NI-VISA 5.4 - Maybe No Support https://forums.ni.com/t5/Instrument-Control-GPIB-Serial/Does-NI-VISA-5-4-or-5-4-1-Driver-Wizard-supp...

Thank you!

Hello Dragon1,

The current version (17.0), and all previous versions of NI VISA do not support using USB 3.0 devices. If you have a USB 3.0 port you can use a USB 2.0 device on that port though.

Hi Anthony!

Thank you for your confirmation!

Do you know if NI-VISA will support USB 3.0 devices in the near future?

I am unable to provide a timeline on NI-VISA supporting USB 3.0.

I would advise posting your request to our Idea Exchange. Our developers will review customers idea requests when developing software updates.
