Notice
certain device data (serial number, device ID, MAC address, IP address,
Hostname, used hardware and software versions) is transmitted in
encrypted format to NI. This information will be deleted after you remove
your device from the network, for example, by turning it off or switching
off the Ethernet or Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi models only) functionality. The only
exception is when the device is configured for infinite lease time and/or
infinite grace period, in which case the serial number and device ID will be
stored for this purpose only. Accessing the above data is necessary to
establish the connection and transmit communication between the
devices connected to the Measurements Live network and the instrument
soft front panels in Measurements Live, access to which is provided with
the product. NI does not store or use this data for any other purposes.
Because the above information, in particular the device ID, may be
available for others connected to the network, providing any personal
information by setting your device ID or otherwise will be at your sole risk
and responsibility. NI is not responsible for the behavior of any other
device users connected to the network. If you do not want to share the
above data with others in the Measurements Live network, you should not
use the network functionality of your device. You can still use your device
with your computer through a USB connection.
