IVI Driver Development
Tools
VIVID
is a suite of software tools designed to speed and simplify your IVI-COM
instrument driver development. The VIVID tools are designed to automate and
simplify tedious, repetitive driver development tasks, freeing you to focus on
your core competency - knowledge of your instrument. VIVID supports your
entire driver development cycle, from driver design to end-user installation.
Eliminates IVI
Learning Curve
Now
you don’t have to worry about the complexities of the IVI specifications --
all that knowledge is embedded in the tools. With VIVID you can start creating
IVI drivers on day one, without reading a single specification document.
