The Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA) is a standard for configuring, programming, and troubleshooting instrumentation systems comprising GPIB, VXI, PXI, serial (RS232/485), Ethernet, USB and/or IEEE 1394 interfaces. NI-VISA is the National Instruments implementation of the VISA I/O standard. It provides the programming interface between the hardware and application development environments such as NI LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio for Microsoft Visual Studio.
NI-VISA development licenses are included with National Instruments products such as development environments and GPIB hardware. NI-VISA runtime deployment licenses are included on deployed systems that include NI hardware, NI development environments, and applications written using NI development environments. Before purchasing additional development or deployment licenses, please review all of the VISA licensing information to verify that one is not already included with your other NI products.
