Open VISA Test Panel Not Included in Installer

Software

Driver

  • NI-VISA

Issue Details

I'm creating an installer in LabVIEW/TestStand, and I'm including all VISA options I see (not just runtimes). When I run this installer on my target system, I open NI MAX and try to open a VISA Test Panel, but I don't see this option. Is there another component I need to include?

Solution

Unfortunately, neither the LabVIEW Installer Builder nor TestStand Deployment Utility currently allow you to include this feature through those installers. The suggested workaround is to create a batch installer and install the full VISA driver on your deployment machine.
