How long does it take to develop an IVI driver?
The time it takes to deliver an IVI driver depends upon a number of factors, such as: • The size and complexity of the instrument • Whether the instrument is register-based or message-based • Whether both an IVI-COM and IVI-C driver is desired • Whether a LabVIEW driver is desired • Whether an IVI class-compliant interface is to be supported Not surprisingly, the total time it takes to develop, document, and validate an IVI driver varies widely. Nevertheless, our experience shows that a complete driver package for a medium size instrument can be delivered in 6 to 8 weeks.
