How can I check the inspection of NVT included in "Familiy Nmap NSE net"?

I set “Launch Nmap NSE net Tests” to yes from scan config, but it does not seem to be running.
Are there any other necessary settings or software that needs to be installed?
The version of nmap you are using is 5.51.

thanks

All VTs of the “Nmap NSE net” category (notice the net in the family name) requires the scanner to be started in the “network_scan” mode:

network_scan : Experimental option, which scans the entire network all at once instead of starting Nmap for each individual host. This can save time in specific environments.

Please note the Experimental in the description. Some additional information about this network_scan options seems to be available here as well:
