What is IVI instrument driver?
What is IVI instrument driver?
An instrument driver, in the context of test and measurement (T&M) application development, is a set of software routines that simplifies remote instrument control. Instrument drivers are specified by the IVI Foundation and define an I/O abstraction layer using the virtual instrument software architecture (VISA).
What is IVI Compliance Package?
The IVI Compliance Package is a software package that contains the IVI class drivers and support libraries necessary to develop and use applications that leverage IVI instrument interchangeability.
What is an IVI driver Labview?
IVI drivers are more sophisticated instrument drivers that feature increased performance and flexibility for more intricate test applications that require interchangeability, state caching, and/or instrument simulation.
How do I use IVI drivers in LabVIEW?
Using IVI-COM Drivers in LabVIEW
- Launch LabVIEW and create a new VI.
- Open the ActiveX palette and place the Automation Open function on the block diagram.
- Right-click the function and select Select ActiveX Class>>Browse from the shortcut menu. A dialog box appears, shown in Figure 1.
What is IVI Shared Components?
The IVI Shared Components are owned and distributed by the IVI Foundation. These components form the underlying structure of an IVI-compliant system. An IVI-compliant piece of software follows the specifications set by the IVI Foundation, allowing it to be easily used with other IVI-compliant drivers and software.
What is Visa driver?
NI-VISA is an NI instrument driver that is an implementation of the Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA) I/O standard. VISA is a standard for configuring, programming, and troubleshooting instrumentation systems comprising GPIB, VXI, PXI, serial (RS232/RS485), Ethernet/LXI, and/or USB interfaces.
How do I uninstall IVI drivers?
IVI Instrument Specific Instrument Drivers
- Go to Control Panel»Add or Remove Programs»National Instruments IVI Specific Drivers.
- Highlight the driver you would like to uninstall and click Remove.
- If your driver does not appear in the list, then it is likely that you have a Plug and Play Instrument Driver.
What is IVI Foundation visa?
The IVI Foundation is an open consortium founded to promote specifications for programming test instruments that simplify interchangeability, provide better performance, and reduce the cost of program development and maintenance.
What is IVI VISA?
VISA is an api specified by the Plug and Play Alliance which is now governed by the IVI Foundation. As I said, an IVI driver uses VISA and a plug and play driver uses VISA. VISA is not a instrument driver. It is a communication protocol that supports GPIB, RS-232, USB, Ethernet, PXI, and PCI.
