Here are the steps that worked on Mac OS 12.5 on a 2019 Intel MacBook Pro running Igor Pro 9.01.
The steps explained below will probably work at least on Mac OS 11.4 through 12.x. Thanks to a tip on the Igor Mailing list, we are now able to get it to work on Mac OS 12.5.
Starting with Mac OS 11.4, we were unable to get it to work. The NI-VISA driver worked without issue on Mac OS versions through 11.3. This version is expected to work on Intel Macintosh, not on M1 Macintoshes. Most people use the National Instruments library named NI-VISA.Īs of this writing, National Instruments currently released NI-VISA driver is 21.0.0. Igor's VISA XOP relies on a VISA library. VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) is a system that provides instrument control via serial ports, GPIB, Ethernet, USBTMC and other media.
This post is of interest if you run the VISA XOP on Macintosh.
