VIVID Center Example
Visual
Driver Development Environment
VIVID
Center is the only visual IVI-COM driver development environment.
VIVID Center enables you to graphically design your driver, specifying
methods and properties. The
software fully supports the IVI-specified class interfaces and it
enables you to develop both class drivers and instrument specific
drivers. VIVID Center also
includes robust consistency checking to make sure that all IVI requirements
are being followed as you are designing the driver.
Visual
C++ Code Generation
VIVID
Center generates a complete Visual C++ project that can be compiled as-is,
without modifications. The
generated driver skeleton, with many simple functions filled in, includes
support for IVI required inherent functions, state caching, range checking,
simulation, coercion, and method level tracing.
The required COM infrastructure is also generated. All that is left for
you to do is to write the special-purpose code that is unique to your
instrument
IVI-Conformant
End-User Installs
VIVID
Center generates an end-user install for your driver that is fully conformant
to the IVI specifications. The
generated InstallShield script will distribute all the required files and set
all the necessary Windows registry keys.
Driver Enhancement Support
VIVID
Center provides support for migrating and enhancing your existing drivers. To
enhance a driver you first design the required enhancements using VIVID
Center, then import and merge in the existing code.
