In
C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\VISA\Win64\Lib_x64\msc
There are 3 lib files: nivisa64.lib, visa64.lib, visa32.lib
And in C:\Windows\System32 are the 3 corresponding .dll files located.
I understand that I have to link against visa64/visa32 depending on if it is a 64bit or a 32bit machine.
But what is nivisa64.dll and nivisa64.lib good for? Do I need it for communication with my device? What is the difference between visa and nivisa?
