The best way to learn about IVI-COM drivers is to use one for
yourself. You will need:
-
XML Parser Version 4
-
VISA Version 2.6
-
IVI Shared Components
-
An IVI-COM driver
First, make sure you have XML Parser Version 4. If not,
download it from Microsoft.
Next, make sure you have VISA version 2.6, if not,
download it from National Instruments.
The IVI Shared Components are available from the IVI Foundation
at:
http://www.ivifoundation.org/ApprovedSpecs/Default.htm
Once these components are in place, you are ready to download
and install the example driver. Click here to
download the VektrexScope IVI-COM driver. You may place the file in any
directory, the official IVI location would be
\program files\ivi\bin.
Finally, you will need to register the driver. From the DOS command
line in the directory where the dll is located, type:
regsvr32 VektrexScope.dll
Your IVI-COM driver is now
ready to use. See the IVI-COM Client Examples Page to learn more about working
with the driver in your favorite ADE.
