IVI Shared Components

The IVI Shared Components are owned and distributed by the IVI Foundation. These components make the underlying structure of an IVI-compliant system. Since IVI Compliance Package components are designed to work with the IVI Shared Components, the IVI Shared Components are installed as part of the IVI Compliance Package.

The Configuration Server included in the IVI Shared Components provides an API for accessing instrument driver data. Various IVI products have been redesigned to work with the Configuration Server instead of the previous way of using the ivi.ini file.
