Advantages of IVI Drivers Over Traditional Instrument Drivers

IVI drivers have many advantages:

  • Driver developers can produce instrument drivers faster to cover more instruments in your system.
  • The rigorous internal structure of IVI drivers results in higher quality drivers than other existing drivers.
  • National Instruments can more easily maintain and upgrade instrument drivers when each driver has only one set of source files. Simpler maintenance results in higher quality instrument drivers for you to choose from when integrating a system.
  • Consistency between LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI instrument drivers means that it is easier for you to develop and maintain test systems that use both LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI.
