Abstract :
Many standards exist in the field of instrumentation. The ever increasing scale of integration of processing power with instrumentation has opened ways to extend and transform the functionality of instruments in software, i.e. create a virtual instrument. Controlling and standardizing this virtual instrument requires a multi-level definition. In this paper we review some of the most relevant developments in this field
