The legacy soft front panel for NI Oscilloscopes has been deprecated since NI-SCOPE 19.5 in favor of InstrumentStudio. InstrumentStudio is a 64-bit soft front panel application that unifies soft front panels for multiple NI instruments, including NI-SCOPE instruments, on 64-bit systems and is automatically installed when you install any of the applicable drivers on a 64-bit system. The legacy soft front panel was still included with NI-SCOPE for use on 32-bit systems, which do not support InstrumentStudio, or if you chose not to install InstrumentStudio.
This guide contains the steps to download the legacy soft front panel if you need to use it with a version of NI-SCOPE that does not include it.
Note: To run the legacy soft front panel, the LabVIEW Runtime Engine 2019 SP1 32-bit (or compatible) must be installed in your environment.
Note: NI software released after May 1, 2021 no longer supports 32-bit operating systems. As a result, the legacy soft front panel for NI-SCOPE instruments has been removed from the NI-SCOPE installer starting with NI-SCOPE 21.8, and InstrumentStudio is now the only soft front panel application that is installed alongside the driver.
