Issue Details

I've created a VeriStand Project and opening the System Definition File Page, I'm not able to add NI Custom Devices because the side menu is empty:

Solution

Your VeriStand installation is missing the VeriStand Custom Devices add-on which is included in the installation package. Be sure to check this add-on during the installation process.

Note: This add-on can be downloaded separately in VeriStand Custom Devices Download Page starting from 2021 version. If you need an older version, ask NI for Technical Support Team.
