7.1.2
IVI Drivers
7.1.2.1 To improve users experience when they combine drivers and other software from various vendors, it is important to
have some key software components common to all implementations. In order to accomplish this, the IVI Foundation
provies a standard set of shared components that must be used by all the compliant drivers and ancillary software.
These components provide services to drivers and driver clients that need to be common to all drivers, for instance,
the administation of system-wide configuration These software components may be found at:
http://www.ivifoundation.org/shared_components/
Use the descriptions on the IVI foundation page referenced above to choose the components necessary for your
installation. Note that both the IVI and IVI.net components must both be installed.
7.1.2.2 Next the National Instruments NI-VISA component must be installed. This component can be found at
https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-visa.html#305862
Choose and install the appropriate version for your OS.
7.1.2.3 Finally, the XP Power specific drivers must be installed. LXI-compliant IVI-C and LXI-compliant IVI.NET drivers are
available on the XP Power website at https://xppower.com
These drivers will act as a programmers API to the PLS600 power supply.
