About This App

UsbPassport is a framework component bundled with NI-VISA, National Instruments' hardware abstraction layer for communicating with GPIB, USB, Ethernet and other instrument buses. The framework provides low-level USB communication functionality to NI-VISA and depends on it to function. NI-VISA is widely used by engineers, researchers and technicians working with laboratory equipment, measurement hardware, and automated test systems. A native Apple Silicon build of this component has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.

UsbPassport is not a standalone application but an internal framework component of NI-VISA. It is automatically included and updated whenever you update the NI-VISA host application itself. To get the native Apple Silicon version of this framework, update NI-VISA to the latest release from National Instruments. Visit the NI-VISA download and support page, download the current macOS installer, and run it — this will replace the Intel build of both NI-VISA and its internal frameworks (including UsbPassport) with their native equivalents. If you are using an older version of NI-VISA obtained through your organization, contact your IT department or National Instruments support to obtain an updated license or installer. Do not attempt to update or replace framework files manually — always update through the parent NI-VISA installer.
