Problem:
What is the Measurement Studio .NET Instrument Driver Wizard, and how do I install it?

Solution:
The Measurement Studio .NET Instrument Driver Wizard is a tool that generates a .NET wrapper class for calling into IVI, VXI plug&play, and legacy instrument drivers based on the instrument driver function panel, header file, and an optional .sub file for IVI drivers. The wizard can generate both Visual C# and Visual Basic .NET source code.

Use the Add New Item Wizard to launch the .NET Instrument Driver Wizard

The Measurement Studio .NET Instrument Driver Wizard was released after Measurement Studio 7.0 as a standalone executable available by request from the Measurement Studio web page. With the release of Measurement Studio 7.1, in addition to some small code generation fixes, we integrated the driver wizard into the Visual Studio IDE, and removed the download request for the standalone executable from the web site. The wizard now comes in all three Measurement Studio packages. If you are not planning to upgrade to 7.1 yet, you can still request a copy of the standalone executable at the Measurement Studio .NET Instrument Driver Wizard download page.

Note: National Instruments Provides .NET wrappers for all of it's Modular Instruments drivers which can be obtained from the link in the related links section below.

For additional information, refer to the Using Instruments Drivers in Measurement Studio Applications help topic in the NI Measurement Studio Help.
