Complete the following steps to install the IVI software on your system. You can find all of the following components on ni.com.

1. Install the IVI Compliance Package from Drivers and Updates (link below).
2. Install NI-VISA from Drivers and Updates (link below).
3. Choose two IVI-C specific drivers to use in the examples. These two drivers must be from the same class. Install the two drivers you have chosen from NI Instrument Driver Network (link below).
4. Restart the computer after installing the software.

Important! You must install the IVI Shared Components before an IVI driver can be installed.

Example Requirements
  • LabVIEW 8.20
  • IVI-C: Agilent 34401A IVI-C specific driver, Version 4.1, October 2006 (from
National Instruments)
  • IVI-COM: Agilent 34401A IVI-COM driver, Version 1.1.0.11, March 2006 (from
Agilent Technologies)
Note: These drivers may require an I/O library to be installed. Check the driver
vendor’s Web site for details.

两处的软件有些不同，为什么呢？

[Charles.Tac · Accepted solution]

要使用IVI driver必须安装的组件有：

1. IVI Shared Components

2. VISA

3. Specific Driver

不同公司的产品会将这些组件合并放在不同的安装文件中，但是总体上Specific driver是可以运行在任何满足1,2 条件的系统上的。

NI的IVI Compliance Package中不但包含了IVI Shared Components还包含了IVI Engine和NI-MAX中对IVI driver的支持组件。所以不用单独安装IVI Shared Components。
