Are IVI Drivers Supported on Non-Windows Operating Systems? Primary Software: Instrument Drivers/IVI>>IVI Compliance PackagePrimary Software Version: 2.0 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: Instrument Drivers/IVI, LabVIEW Development Systems Hardware: GPIB
Problem: I am using LabVIEW and a GPIB device on a non-Windows operating system to communicate with a GPIB instrument. I found an IVI Driver for my instrument on the National Instruments Instrument Driver Network. Are IVI Drivers compatible with non-Windows operating systems? Solution: Interchangeable Virtual Instrument (IVI) Drivers are only for use on Win32 (Windows) operating systems. If you are running a non-Windows operating system on your computer you will not be able to use an IVI Driver to communicate with your GPIB instrument. However, you may be able to use a Plug and Play Instrument Driver if NI-VISA is available for the operating system you are using. Refer to the NI-VISA driver download page, found in the Related Links Section, for a current list of NI-VISA versions available for different operating systems. For more information on Plug and Play Instrument Drivers or to search for an instrument driver for your particular instrument, visit the Instrument Driver Network.
