Run-Time Configuration of IVI Instrument Drivers

Primary Software: Instrument Drivers/IVI>>IVI Compliance Package
Primary Software Version: 2.2
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
Is there an API for run-time configuration of IVI drivers? I would like to programmatically configure IVI drivers under MAX with a CVI application.

Solution:
The IVI Foundation has defined a C API to programmatically access and modify any IVI Configuration Store file. This API is defined in the IVI-3.5 IVI Configuration Server specification and is installed as part of the NI IVI Compliance Package 2.x and later. The relevant files are

IviConfigurationServer.h, IviConfigurationServer.lib, and IviConfigurationServerCAPI.dll

and are installed in the C:\Program Files\IVI\ or C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\ directories.

Attached is a simple example on how to programmatically access the configuration file.
