Installed Documentation
All documentation is available at Start»Programs»National Instruments»NI-SWITCH»Documentation. The documentation set is composed of the following documents:
NI-SWITCH 3.x Readme File
NI Switches Getting Started Guide
Printed and PDF format. Includes safety, hardware & software installation, configuration in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), and connection information.
NI Switches Help
HTML help format. Includes switching fundamentals, device specific information, programming information, tutorials, a LabVIEW VI reference, and LabWindows/CVI, C++, and Visual Basic function references.
NI-SWITCH Instrument Driver Quick Reference Guide
Printed and PDF format. Lists the VIs/functions and their associated parameters and data types available with NI-SWITCH.
Switch Soft Front Panel Help

A specifications document for each switch module
Terminal block installation guides
Known Issues
The following are known issues for NI-SWITCH 3.0:
If reverting back to NI-SWITCH 1.6 from NI-SWITCH 3.0, you must uninstall NI-SWITCH 3.0 and reinstall NI-SWITCH 1.6.
Various support files, such as .h and .lib files, are installed in \Program Files\IVI and \VXIpnp directories to support ADEs that only recognize the \VXIpnp directory.
SCXI-1127 (Rev D and earlier) continuously drives the TTL1 trigger line on the SCXI backplane. This does not allow bus sharing of TTL1 with other SCXI modules. NI-SWITCH returns an error if an SCXI-1127 is in the chassis and if TTL1 is being used for scanning. If using the NI-DAQmx driver for your SCXI system, you get a resource reservation error if you try to perform a switching or signal conditioning operation that requires use of TTL1.
There are known DLL collision issues with the Microsoft Visual Basic debugger and a National Instruments device driver using Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy). A support DLL used by NI-SWITCH fails to load if Visual Basic has already loaded another DLL into the same address space. To change the default address that is used to load the driver DLL, create the following registry key:
where the value is a DWORD (0x44000000 generally works).
For the change to take effect, you must close and restart all applications after adding the registry key.
The niSwitch DMM Switch Handshaking example for LabVIEW was updated with NI-DMM 2.2. If you have an earlier version of NI-DMM installed, the VI is inoperable.
To use the example with NI-DMM 2.1.2 or earlier, delete the AUX Trig 1 case from the case structure connected to Sample Trigger Source in the niDMM Configure Multi Point VI.
NI-DMM 2.2 introduces a new enumerated value, AUX Trig 1.
Uninstalling NI-SWITCH 3.x
For Windows XP/2000, complete the following:
Open the Control Panel from the Start»Settings»Control Panel Menu and select Add or Remove Programs.
Select National Instruments Software and click Change.
Select NI-SWITCH 3.x from the list provided and click Uninstall.
