VXIPNP-Driver: Location of the instrument Drivers

Question

Where is the installation location of the new Rohde & Schwarz VXIPlug&Play instrument drivers on my PC?

Answer

Previously, NI-VISA was installed in the path:

C:\VXIPNP

Starting with NI-VISA version 4.2, the installation path is:

C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\VISA

All Rohde & Schwarz instrument drivers use the NI-VISA installation path. Previously, the installation path

for the Rohde & Schwarz instrument drivers in line with the NI-VISA installation was:

C:\VXIPNP

More recent Rohde & Schwarz instrument drivers use the following path:

C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\VISA

If a new Rohde & Schwarz instrument driver is installed and the old path (C:\VXIPNP) is already being used,

the driver will be installed in C:\VXIPNP.

The installation behavior of the Rohde & Schwarz drivers was changed in line with the new VISA installation procedure.

Starting with NI-VISA 4.2, the installation path is C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\VISA.

Upgrades for previous versions of NI-VISA use the old installation directory.
