Instrument Driver Fundamentals
This section covers instrument driver fundamentals you must consider if you add functions to a driver, or if you develop a driver without using the Instrument Driver Development Wizard.
Although the wizard is the recommended method for developing a driver for an instrument that you control through a GPIB, VXI, or serial interface, there may be situations in which you develop a driver for other purposes. For example, you might develop a driver for common utility functions or analysis algorithms or a driver for controlling custom hardware that does not fit the IVI instrument driver model for GPIB or VXI devices.
