How to programmatically find NI488 software version

Is there a function to read the installed software version ?
I am finding some versions of the software does not function reliably with some versions of windows and need to warn the user to install the latest version.

Hi AndyKoz,
I would recomment to look at this KnowledgeBase that will help you out understanding how to programatically determine the versions of installed National Instruments Software.
Thanks,
GajanS

    How to I find out what version Of OS I have on my mac???

    Upper left  corner where it says "Abuot this Mac"
    And click on "More"
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    From there you can also go to the Software tab:
    System Software Overview:
      System Version:          Mac OS X 10.7.5 (11G63)
      Kernel Version:          Darwin 11.4.2
    So it is there three times.

  • How can i find my software type on my iMac?

    Hello,
    I want to upgrade mine software to Lion, but I must first buy the Snow Leopard. I don't know how I can see on my iMac if I all ready have the ''Leopard'' version on it or the ''Tigre''. Can somebody tell me how I can do this?

    You can find your software version by pulling down the Apple menu and selecting 'About This Mac...". Your current OS X version will be displayed.
    10.4.x = Tiger  (where x = any number)
    10.5.x = Leopard
    10.6.x = Snow Leopard
    10.7.x = Lion

  • ITunes 11.0.1.12 is a total disaster, how do I find the previous version?

    iTunes 11.0.1.12 is a total disaster.  How do I find the previous version?

    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
    Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar.
    Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the previous search behaviour.
    You can also open the menu bar temporarily by pressing Alt.
    To roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

  • How are you tracking deployed software versions for traceabili​ty?

    I am curious how others are tracking deployed software versions in automated test environments.
    I am working on a medical device tester and we have a somewhat inefficient method for keeping track of all version numbers. I would like to know what tools are available to automate tracking version throughout a project, from build to viewing later. Or, what methods are typical in this type of environment.
    Essentially, we need to be able to say at any given moment what software version is running at 3 remote locations on several deployed systems.
    For simply automating the process of viewing the version number programmatically, I found this, but we've had issues with it:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/D45E3A1E694​815AD86257173005CFD36
    This solution requires a "separate" installer to get the .NET framework onto the target PC. Also, it doesn't work (to my knowledge) with the Help>>About window.

    Dennis,
    Thanks for replying. We are using SVN. The exact ECO process for this project is under construction as it is a relatively new project and deployments will be at our customer's site. We use JIRA for tracking specific change requests.
    Here's an example of our basic process:
    - Software changes made (according to JIRA tasks) and source code checked in
    - Builds released per schedule with version numbers (from JIRA projects) hard-coded into the application
    - Builds deployed at different locations & times
    Here's what I'd like to see to improve things:
    - Builds released with version numbers generated from one of the following:
       1. Loaded from JIRA release numbers - maybe auto-generated for reference by LabVIEW when building the application
       2. Part of a custom build launcher
             >> This would be a custom interface that runs functions like those in Application Builder palette while also sending version info
             >> Perhaps it could prompt the user for version info or read from something auto-generated.
    - Builds should automatically make version numbers visible within the application (for example, LabVIEW has the Help>>About window)
    - Build numbers should be programmatically/dynamically accessible without having to install an additional .NET framework that isn't listed in 'Additional Installers'
    Curious if there are any tools that support these kinds of things. I am aware of Deploy by Wirebird Labs and Proligent by Averna, although I am lacking in knowledge about specific features.
    Regards,
    Dan

    Like what? Software updates are performed in the background if you haven't changed the default. Once done the old version is replaced by the new version wherever it resides.

    Hi, can anyone help me out with this question?
    How can I find out which version of Ipod touch I have. I only have the model and serial numbers as it was a gift, but I would like to download IOS 5 if it is compatible?
    Very frustrated Ipod user, any advice would be much appreciated.

    I had the same problem because there are so many iPod models.  There is a great article in Wikileaks that explains it all and also has pictures.  I'm confident this answer your question.

  • How do I find the iTunes version on my iPad?

    How do I find the iTunes version on my IPAD?

    You can't. The version is whatever the version is for the iOS that you are running. The preinstalled apps are updated when the iOS is updated so whatever iOS your are running determines that version.
    If you are asking because you are trying to submit feedback or trying to communicate with Apple via some support link that is asking for the version, just ignore that and enter the information in any special instructions field or whatever is available.

  • How can I determine what software version I have in my Apple TV module?

    My Apple TV usually hangs up when I am watching a movie on Netflix whether its one foot from my internet hub or in the next room. When I stream using an HDMI cable connected directly to my computer (which is hardwired to the hub) there is no problem. Could it be an outdated software version in the Apple TV module? How does one tell what software version he has and then how do I update it if required?
    Any help is appreciated.

  • How do I find and older version of instagram for iOS 6.1.6

    How do I find and older version of instagram for 4th generation touch iOS 6.1.6?

    In iTunes on your computer, download the App you want a compatible version for using the same Apple Id that the iPod has for the App Store. For Paid Apps its best to consult with the App maker to make sure there is a compatible App. With the App Downloaded to iTunes on a computer you can go into The App Store App on your iPod, Tap on Purchased, and Look for the App there. Tap on it to begin the download. It will likely say its not compatible, but if there is a compatible version it will offer to download it.
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
