Abstract :
To aid in the development of instrument driver software and to provide multi-vendor interoperability the VXIplug&play Systems Alliance has created standards for instrument driver structure, device management, instrument I/O, and error reporting. This document describes how to use the VISA Transition Library or VTL, the lowest level I/O interface. VTL is used within VXIplug&play instrument drivers to communicate with physical instruments.
