Issue Details

I have purchased a USB-8486 and the kit includes with NI-FBUS software. I would like to use USB-8486 on Windows 11 environment. 

 

Is NI-FBUS support on Windows 11?

Solution

NI-FBUS is not officially supported and have not been tested or validated to work with Windows 11.

 

We recommend to use Windows 10 for interfacing with USB-8486 hardware using NI-FBUS 16.0. 

Additional Information

Each NI interface board comes with the NI-FBUS Communications Manager software that the board uses to communicate over the bus.

 

Please note that neither the NI-FBUS Configurator nor the NI-FBUS Monitor are included with the purchase of the USB-8486 Device.
