Note: Some drivers included with previous versions of Embedded Control and Monitoring Software Suite are not included with this release. Visit ni.com/downloads for the latest driver versions.
Microsoft Visual Studio Support
If you are using the Embedded Control and Monitoring Software Suite .NET Class Library, .NET Framework 4.0 (minimum) is required. The Embedded Control and Monitoring Software Suite 2022 Q3 .NET Class Library can be used with Visual C# or Visual Basic .NET in any Visual Studio version that can target .NET Framework 4.0 or .NET Framework 4.5.
To use the .NET API, you must install the .NET class libraries or the .NET wrapper in addition to the NI device driver. For information about versions of the .NET Framework and the drivers each supports, as well as the download location of the installer files, refer to .NET Resources for NI Hardware and Software.
Installation Instructions
Download the Embedded Control and Monitoring Software Suite installer from ni.com/downloads. NI software includes NI Package Manager to handle the installation. Refer to the NI Package Manager Manual for more information about installing, removing, and upgrading NI software using Package Manager.
Notes
If Windows Update is enabled, the installation process might hang if Windows Update interferes with the installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Run-Time. Visit ni.com/r/exjq43 for more information and steps to resolve this issue.
Use the serial number that is included with your software to activate Embedded Control and Monitoring Software Suite. For more information on Embedded Control and Monitoring Software Suite activation, refer to Activating a Product.
Product Security and Critical Updates
Visit ni.com/security to view and subscribe to receive security notifications about NI products. For information about critical updates from NI, refer to Available Critical and Security Updates for NI Software.
IVI Compliance Package Functionality
Embedded Control and Monitoring Software Suite no longer installs IVI Compliance Package (ICP). Embedded Control and Monitoring Software Suite supports IVI configuration and runtime, but no longer installs the following IVI components:
LabVIEW and CVI IVI class drivers for developing IVI interchangeable applications
IVI Class Simulation drivers
IVI-COM Adapters
To use these features, you must install ICP separately. ICP is included in the Software Platform Bundle media. A stand-alone web distribution is available from ni.com/downloads.
Supported Hardware
Visit NI Hardware and Operating System Compatibility to view driver, desktop operating system, and real-time operating system support for individual hardware devices.
To view information for your device:
Select your hardware model in the dropdown list on the page to view compatibility information for your device.
Type your hardware model number in the dropdown list on the web page to filter the list of available devices.
Note: Some compatibility information may only be available in the archive attached to the NI Hardware and Operating System Compatibility page. For historic driver and OS support information, refer to the readme for the relevant driver version.
Finding Examples
Refer to the readme of each product for where to find examples.
Automating the Installation of NI Products
You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes.
If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.6.2, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.6.2 separately before you install NI software.
For more information about automating the installation of NI products, refer to Automating an Installer in the NI Package Manager manual.
