Developing an IVI Driver - Architecture and Development Tools Overview
This presentation introduces the IVI driver architecture, and describes the IVI development tools that automate the process of writing a driver. The presentation covers the details of the IVI engine, IVI callbacks within a driver, and the IVI driver development wizard in LabWindows/CVI 5.

Considerations in Implementing Real-Time Drivers
This document is intended for anyone who is interested in implementing a Real-Time driver for a third-party PXI, cPCI or PCI device. It should help you to choose the best implementation approach for your particular situation.

Conversion of an Instrument Driver from LabWindows/CVI to LabVIEW
The purpose of this document is to help you convert an instrument driver originally written for LabWindows/CVI into an instrument driver you can use in LabVIEW. The conversion involves the following three steps:

Creating or Modifying IVI Class Simulation Drivers
The IVI class drivers implement simulation features by using simulation drivers. The IVI Compliance Package (ICP) installs a simulation driver for each IVI class driver. Each simulation driver plugs in to the corresponding class driver and performs flexible output data simulation.

Debugging DLL-Based IVI Drivers from LabVIEW Using LabWindows/CVI
You can develop Interchangeable Virtual Instruments (IVI) instrument drivers in LabWindows/CVI and create an interface to run the IVI drivers in LabVIEW, but debugging such a driver from within LabVIEW can be difficult.

Developing LabVIEW Plug and Play Instrument Drivers
This document, which describes the standards and practices for LabVIEW Plug and Play drivers, is intended for driver developers and describes the standards for structuring VIs, instrument I/O, style, and error reporting.

Developing a LabVIEW Real-Time Driver for a PXI, cPCI or PCI Device
The goal of this document is to provide guidelines for creating a LabVIEW Real-Time driver based on the VISA application programming interface. The resulting driver will be a VI library for controlling the device.

Developing an IVI Driver for a Series of Instruments
A family driver supports multiple models from a series of instruments—for example, a driver that supports the entire series of Tektronix TDS 200 oscilloscopes including the TDS 210, 220, and 224.

How to Develop an IviSwtch-compliant Driver to Use with National Instruments Switch Executive
National Instruments Switch Executive (NISE) is an intelligent switch management and routing application that simplifies switch system configuration and increases test performance. NISE is built on top of the IviSwtch class driver and works with IVI-compliant specific switch drivers.

Minimizing Code Growth Within an IVI Instrument Driver
IVI (Interchangeable Virtual Instruments) drivers are powerful, high-performance software modules that are capable of configuring and controlling the most common test and measurement instruments of today.
