NI SCOPE troubles (PXIe- 5622)

[tktrivedi]

I've been having this problem since sometime now. I have a PXIe-5663 Vector Signal Analyzer, which has a PXIe - 5622 IF Digitizer module.

Someone recently installed some update on the NI SCOPE driver and now it's nowhere to be found. I cannot find the NI SCOPE front panel. What's worse, I am unable to reinstall the NI SCOPE software through Windows 7 control panel, as it doesn't show up there. I tried uninstalling the whoe RFSA + RFSG software and reinstall it with the device driver DVDs. The system does not allow me to install SCOPE, saying that a higher version is already installed. I really need this to work ASAP, so if someone has a suggestion for me to try out, please reply soon.

Thanks,

Tanuj

Well, for now I found a workaround. Apparently I had Scope 3.5 on the system. Someone upgraded it to 3.6 and then the issues I mentioned started occuring. I tried installing 3.7 and I could upgrade everything. I now can access the Scope front panel.

Although I don't know if I had the latest version, how I would have gone about solving this issue.
