How Do I Use IVI Drivers in my Measurement Studio Project?

Primary Software: Measurement Studio>>Professional Edition (Base Package)
Primary Software Version: 6.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I would like to use IVI instrument drivers with my Measurement Studio Project. I have done this implementation with LabWindows\CVI and would like to know the differences between that implementation and the necessary implementation for a Measurement Studio Project.

Solution:
The Add/Remove Class Library Wizard in Measurement Studio allows you to include instrument drivers in your project. If you create a new Measurement Studio C++ project, you should be able to select instrument drivers in the Add/Remove Class Library Wizard window under the "Legacy C and IVI C Drivers" node. This adds the header and lib or source files for the driver to your project. You can then use the driver just as you would in CVI.

The IVI Class Drivers from National Instruments (part of the NI IVI Compliance Package) include Measurement Studio C++ APIs. Again, you can add them to your project by selecting them from the Add/Remove Class Library Wizard. The C++ APIs also include full documentation, which is integrated into the Measurement Studio help.

If you would like more information on configuring and using IVI Drivers in your applications please see the linked On-Demand training modules below.
