Overview
The NI-SWITCH driver provides driver support and documentation for all of NI's PXI, PXIe, and SCXI Switch products. NI-SWITCH is an IVI-compliant driver that allows NI Switch modules to be used with standard IVI Class commands.
The NI-SWITCH driver contains both LabVIEW and text-based APIs for programming NI Switches.
System Requirements
NI-SWITCH 17.0 has the following requirements:
Processor—1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
RAM—1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
A screen resolution of 1,024 x 768
Windows 10/8.1/7, with all available critical updates and service packs
Supported Operating Systems
NI-SWITCH 17.0 supports the following operating systems:
Windows 10/8.11/7 SP12 (32-bit and 64-bit)
Windows Server 2012 R21 (64-bit)
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP12 (64-bit)
1 NI software installs VC2015 Runtime and .NET 4.6.2. Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 require Microsoft updates to support these items. Refer to Microsoft KB2919442 and KB2919355 for more information about how to install these updates.
2 NI software is signed with a SHA-256 certificate. Windows 7 SP1, Windows Embedded Standard 7 SP1, and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 require Microsoft updates to support SHA-256. Refer to Microsoft KB3033929 for more information about how to install this security update.
Note NI-SWITCH 17.0 and later does not support Windows Server non-R2 editions.
Note In 2016 NI dropped support for Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and installations of Windows 7 without any service packs. NI-SWITCH 17.0 will not install or run on an unsupported OS. You cannot deploy or distribute applications that use NI-SWITCH 17.0 to an unsupported OS. Additionally, after installing NI-SWITCH 17.0, you cannot use any installers built on this computer with any version of LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, NI TestStand™, or Measurement Studio on an unsupported OS.
For more information about the changes to our OS support for 2016, refer to KB 79UC78LS, Why Does my LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, or TestStand Built Installer Fail on Windows XP/Vista and Server 2003?.
Note Support for Windows 32-bit operating systems may require disabling physical address extension (PAE). To learn how this might affect your system and what actions you might need to take, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code PAESupport.
NI recommends that you have the most recent service pack for your operating system installed.
Supported Real-Time Operating Environments
NI-SWITCH 17.0 and later support the following real-time operating environments:
LabVIEW Real-Time Module
LabWindows/CVI Real-Time Module

In LabVIEW, select Help»Find Examples to launch the NI Example Finder. The NI Example Finder offers two ways to access all installed LabVIEW example VIs and their descriptions:
Click the Browse tab to locate examples by task at Hardware Input and Ouput»Modular Instruments»NI-SWITCH or by directory structure at instr»niSwitch.
Click the Search tab to search all installed examples by keyword. For example, search for "SWITCH" to locate all NI Switch examples.
You can also access all the installed NI-SWITCH examples for LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI at Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-SWITCH»Examples.
Automating the Installation of NI Products
You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes.
If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.0, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.0 separately before you install NI software.
For more information about automating the installation of NI products, refer to the following KnowledgeBase articles:
For more information about silent installations of individual NI products, refer to KB 4CJDP38M, Automating the Installation of a Single Installer.
For more information about silent installations of NI products in a suite, such as NI Developer Suite, refer to KB 4GGGDQH0, How Do I Automate the Installation of a Suited Installer?.
To determine what version of NI Installers your product contains, refer to KB 4CJDR18M, How Can I Determine the Type and Version of My NI Installer?.
Using NI Software with Microsoft Windows 10
Microsoft Windows 10 is the latest version of the Windows operating system and features significant changes compared to previous versions. Windows 10 introduces several new capabilities and also combines features from both Windows 7 and Windows 8. For more information about NI support for Windows 10, visit ni.com/windows10.
Using NI Software with Microsoft Windows 8.1
When you install NI software on Microsoft Windows 8.1, you will notice a few additional tiles in the Apps view, including shortcuts to NI application software products such as NI LabVIEW, Measurement & Automation Explorer (NI MAX), and NI Launcher.
