Abstract :
As computer technology races forward, automated test and measurement systems are becoming more capable and complex. Industry standards such as GPIB and VXI allow instruments and computers from many vendors to be combined into an integrated system. The next challenge is to integrate major software components into a test system just as easily and with the same level of interoperability. VXIplug&play standards address the unique requirements of integrating software components into a test system. The WIN System Framework defines a necessary and sufficient set of components and interfaces which allow software developed by different vendors to be integrated into a single system. It also defines a minimum level of functionality so that end users have the tools required to be successful in system integration.
