San Diego, California, - February 20th,  2003 - VIVID, a Vektrex-developed software toolkit, is featured in the February 2003 issue of Microsoft's MSDN magazine.  VIVID produces software for test and measurement equipment, such as that developed and used by the Navy.  The toolkit leverages Microsoft technology producing software that is compliant with industry standard specifications, as defined by the IVI Foundation.  VIVID virtually eliminates coding in development, increasing productivity, and freeing programmers for more important tasks.
