IVI drivers

I cannot find an IVI driver for my Windows XP 64 bit operating system.  I am trying to communicate with a DPO 4054 scope over USB. Please HELP, I have searched everywhere!!!

I was able to find this by navigating to www.ni.com/idnet and searching for "DPO 4054".  This will pull up a page with three large green buttons which are links to different downloads.  You will want to choose the third green button.  IdNet should contain all of the NI supported drivers for third party products.  You may find other drivers by other manufacturers or create your own, but I would always advise to check www.ni.com/idnet first.

Ok I tried it but it said I needed the IVI Shared Component.  They gave me this website:  http://www.ivifoundation.org/shared_components/ but I need Windows Vista.  Also I am using LabVIEW 8.2.

In order to use the IVI specific driver you need IVI Compliance Package

It seems that the only 64 bit operating systems that IVI Compliance Package is compatiable with is Vista or higher.

If your app is 32bit running under 64bit OS (= WOW64), you simply need 32bit IVI driver for the device, but you need 64bit version of IVI Shared Components, which sets up both native 64bit and WOW64 environment for IVI use.
