PXI-8196 Software upgrading

Solved!
Go to solution

I recently began working with a NI-PXI-8196, It was locked with a passsword so I reverted to the factory settings via the FirstWare software included. It freshly installed XP and left me with a couple of programs. I attempted to upgrade the software using the software wizard but it couldnt connect to the NI network. I decided to try manually upgrading the labVIEW run time so that it would be compatible with labVIEW 2015 but I was wondering if there was an easier way to upgrade all the software at once. Like an updated upgrade wizard. Also, upgrading MAX would be splendid. If you can help me figure out how to go about getting the PXI ready to roll using modern software itd be a huge help.

The current software is the MAX prgoram version 3.1.1.3003,

CVI Run Time version 7.0.0.395,

Meaurment Studio version 6.0,

NI Spy 2.2.0.12,

NI-488.2 version 2.30,

NI-PAL 1.9.0.0,

NI-USI(Added when i downloaded labVIEW runtime 2015) 15.0.1.6118,

NI-VISA 3.2

labVIEW Run-Time (Version 7.0 was installed, but when I installed 2015 version it vanished from MAX)

Hi,

 

The only real way to install multiple NI products at once is using a batch installer. You can find more information about this method here:

 

Creating a Custom Installer with the NI Batch Installer Builder

Furthermore, to upgrade MAX, you can install the newest version of System Configuration here:

 

NI System Configuration 16.0.1
