Bloatware the NI "Drivers" may be, but there are some useful
features.
One of my favourites, is "NI IO Trace", or in old speek "NISpy".
Absolutely invaluable when debugging code, or recalcitrant
instruments.
It is installed as standard, but often no shortcut/launcher is
shown by default.
I forget where it's located, but is not difficult to find.
Enjoy.

Oh, just don't try and mix NI's VISA subsystem, with another
makers version.? It's quicker to flatten the PC and start over,
than to unpick the mess created.
