Can I use Nimbus to build drivers for register-based instruments?
Yes. Pacific MindWorks has used Nimbus to build drivers for various register-based instruments. With Nimbus, you are free to provide as much custom low-level logic in your implementation as you need. All of the unit testing, help generation, and installer generation features work just as well for register-based instruments as they do for message-based instruments. Features such as simulation, range checking and state caching also work in precisely the same way for register-based instruments as they do for message-based instruments.
