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.

Accelerated IVI-COM Driver Development

VIVID includes built-in designs for inherent and class functions, a graphic design editor, and automatic code generation. VIVID also includes powerful tools for driver test, help-file generation, and end-user installer creation.  With VIVID you can compile your first driver in hours and complete your project 2 to 5 times faster.  The table below shows the actual hours expended to develop two IVI-COM switch drivers, for the Paris Interchangeability Demonstration.

  VIVID Designer - A visual driver design utility. 

  VIVID Center - A visual driver code development center.

  VIVID Test - A graphic method-level test utility.
