IVI Overcomes Industry Challenges
In today's world two factors hinder efficient test system setup and support:
1) the high cost of developing and maintaining test system software and, 2) rapidly
evolving technology. The IVI Foundation addresses these needs through new driver
technology:
IVI drivers define a new level of quality, completeness, usability, and functionality
that reduces the cost of test system development and ownership.
IVI drivers simplify upgrading or replacing components in complex test systems intended
to be used over a long period of time. The IVI Foundation was formed in 1998 and
officially incorporated in 2001. Its membership includes end-users, instrument vendors,
software vendors, system suppliers, and system integrators.
