UD Windows Driver

Print pagePrint page Print allPrint all Export allExport all

We offer various distributions of our LabJack UD driver, the software layer that communicates with U3, U6, and UE9 devices connected to computers running Microsoft Windows.

  • If your version of Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit with 32-bit software (Most common), please install the LabJack UD driver using this installer. This applies to users with Microsoft Windows 2003, 2008, XP, Vista, and 7.
  • If your version of Windows is 64-bit and you specifically deploy or use 64-bit software, you will need to use the beta release of our 64-bit driver. Please begin by running the normal LabJackUD installer and then use the provided instructions to configure your machine to use the beta DLL. While this is required for applications intentionally targeting a 64-bit platform, please note that most programs running on a 64-bit machine are still 32-bit applications.
  • If you are using Windows 2000, ME, or 98, please install V3.06.
  • If you use one of the UD family devices but choose to run Linux or Mac OS, please see our Exodriver page. Also, for software related to the U12, please visit our U12 product page.

This statement is out of date. 64 bit Vista is commonplace now.

That download is for if you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows (including 64-bit Vista), but with 32-bit software.  This is quite common for many applications.  64-bit versions of Windows have the ability to run 32-bit software through a layer of abstraction.  Most programs that people will run on 64-bit vista will be 32-bit software.  For instance if you compile a program using a LabJack for XP, you can transfer that over to 64-bit Vista and use it no problems with all that is contained in the above download.

The case where things are different is if you are using a 64-bit version of Windows (such as 64-bit Vista) and a 64-bit program.  This could be true if you are running a 64-bit version of Matlab or LabView for instance.  In that case you need a 64-bit version of our .dll, which is currently found in another download.

Note:  In our next release (which should be soon) we are going to combine all this into one installer so no matter what version of Windows you are using or what kind of application the installer will put everything where it needs to be.

On a Macbook Pro running W7 64-bit via VMWare, the 64 bit drivers for 32 bit applications do not recognize the UE9.

If the machine is hard rebooted into windows, it works fine.
