Description
64-bit Application Interface
NI-488.2 for Windows, Version 2.6, adds a 64-bit application interface that allows users to create 64-bit applications on Windows Vista x64 (64 bit) using ni4882.obj. Using the 32-bit version of ni4882.obj, users can use the same NI4882 API to build corresponding 32-bit applications with no source code changes. The 32-bit applications based on ni4882.obj are compatible on systems with NI-488.2 for Windows, versions 1.7 and later.
For more information about the new NI4882 API, refer to the NI-488.2 Help.
Portable Configuration
This release adds support in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) for the standard Export and Import wizard. This allows you to transfer the NI-488.2 configuration settings for supported GPIB interfaces.
Configuration Privileges
By default, only users with Administrator privileges can update NI-488.2 configuration settings in MAX. For less restrictive environments, this release adds an option in the MAX Tools menu to allow privileges to all users for updating configuration settings. Only a user with Administrator privileges can set the option.
.NET Support
NI-488.2 for Windows, Version 2.6, adds .NET 2008 support and .NET 2005 support fixes. They are options in the Feature tree during installation.
Application Interface and Examples
The Application Interface (formerly called Language Interface) and example files have moved.
The NIEXTCCOMPILERSUPP environment variable is provided as an alias to the location of C language support files. You can use this variable when compiling and linking an application. The Application Interface files (header and library files to include in applications) moved to a centralized location to prevent users from accidentally overwriting them and to provide this NIEXTCCOMPILERSUPP environment variable.
You can access the examples through Start»Programs»National Instruments»NI-488.2»Examples. The examples require the new NI4882 API.
For more information about the new NI4882 API, refer to the NI-488.2 Help.
Real-Time Option
This release includes the option of installing NI-488.2 for LabVIEW Real-Time parts from the Feature tree during installation. See the ReadMeRT.html file for more information about NI-488.2 for LabVIEW Real-Time.
