This dialog contains a list of all USB devices connected to your system. Clicking a specific device lists all information found in the device, configuration, interface, and endpoint descriptors, along with connection information for the device including the device address and bus speed.
Essential hardware characteristics such as the manufacturer code and manufacturer name are populated automatically. Other hardware characteristics, such as model name and manufacturer ID, are retrieved if present, but can be overridden if desired.
If your device is not currently connected, you can select the Other... option from the device list and enter the information NI-VISA needs manually.

Note Using this wizard may not be necessary. NI-VISA already may be able to detect your USB instrument if it conforms to the USB Test & Measurement Class (USBTMC) protocol. If this is the case, do not use this wizard to create an additional .inf file. |
