Abstract :
To aid in the development of instrument driver software, the VXIplug&play Systems Alliance has created standards for instrument driver structure, device management, instrument I/O, and error reporting. This document describes the architecture of a VXIplug&play instrument driver, its components, and a process for developing useful instrument drivers for the WIN and GWIN frameworks.
