Install my own IVI driver

[yc]

Hello,

i've written an IVI specific driver for a DMM and I want to create a new driver session under MAX which uses this specific driver. The problem is that my driver doesn't appear in the software tab of my session and, of course, it doesn't appear in the "advanced->instrument driver software modules" tree node as well. So I want to know how to register my driver in the system.

Thanks.

The IVI Compliance Package (ICP) 2.2 includes the instrument driver software module editing capabilities in the IVI Configuration Utility in MAX. You should first create a new software module for your driver and then a new driver session. ICP 2.2 also includes new tools such as IVI Installer Creator and IVI Specific Driver Test Suite. Once you installs ICP 2.2, you can access the IVI Installer Creator and the IVI Specific Driver Test Suite from Start»Programs»National Instruments»IVI»Tools or from the Tools menu in LabWindows/CVI 7.x.

ICP 2.2 can be downloaded from:

I hope this helps.

Excuse me gagi1,I got the same problem when trying to use IVI driver,I have downloaded the ICP2.5 which version is higher than ICP2.2 you mention above,but it Seems there are no IVI Installer Creator and the IVI Specific Driver Test Suite I can find after I installed ICP2.5,there is not any toolset but some release notes and help and NI IVI class driver. Is there anything wrong?Install path?Do I need to download IVI Engine Package or something else?Thank you very much!

By the way,Where can I download the IVI Driver Toolset and NI driver library.I just find its release note when I seach www.ni.com.

The IVI Installer Creator and the IVI Specific Driver Test Suite are no longer distributed with the IVI Compliance Package. These two tools are now part of LabWindows/CVI distribution. Which version of CVI do you have? You might need to explicitly enable the IVI tools feature during the CVI 8.0 or later installation in order to get the tools.

In addition, the IVI Driver Toolset has been recently discontinued. The IVI class simulation drivers, which used to be distributed with the IVI Driver Toolset, are now distributed with the IVI Compliance Package 2.5. The IVI Soft Front Panels are available upon request to instrument.drivers@ni.com.
