Abstract
Interchangeable Virtual Instrument (IVI) drivers are an exciting new technology that enables test engineers to reuse their test programs with different instruments. IVI drivers are based on VXIplug&play technology, so users of LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Visual Basic, Visual C++, and any other programming environments capable of calling DLL-based VXIplug&play-style drivers can use IVI drivers. This paper outlines the theory, tools, and mechanisms involved in using these tools to build a hardware-independent test system
