Versions:
NI-XNET is a low-level driver package published by National Instruments Corporation that provides deterministic, high-speed access to CAN, LIN, and FlexRay automotive networks for engineers developing test, measurement, and embedded applications. Designed for integration with NI LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, C/C++, C#, and Visual Basic, the software exposes a common set of frame- and signal-level APIs that abstract the complexities of different automotive buses, allowing the same code to be re-targeted across NI-XNET-compatible PXI, PCI, NI CompactDAQ, and NI CompactRIO interfaces without modification. Typical use cases include hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation, ECU rapid prototyping, bus monitoring and logging, automated end-of-line testing, and gateway configuration where multi-protocol translation is required. The driver ships with example projects, detailed help files, and a bus database editor that can import FIBEX, .DBC, .NCD, and .LDF network descriptions, ensuring bit-accurate signal definition and scaling. Version 26.0.0, the eighth major release since the product line debuted, adds support for the latest NI-XNET 14 x 2 CAN-FD interfaces, improves 64-bit LabVIEW compatibility, and streamlines DMA throughput for multi-channel logging above 20 kframes/s. NI-XNET is classified under Development / Debugging / Hardware Drivers and is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
