  • Page 14: Ivi Compliant Or Ivi Class Compliant

    TheM9383A PXIe VSGis IVI Compliant, but not IVI Class Compliant; it does not belong to one of the 13 IVI Instrument Classes defined by the IVI Foundation. IVI Compliant– means that the IVI driver follows architectural specifications for these categories: Installation Inherent Capabilities Cross Class Capabilities Keysight M9383A PXIe Vector Signal Generator...

  • Page 15: Ivi Driver Hierarchy

    These interfaces are organized into two hierarchies: Class-Compliant Hierarchy and Instrument-Specific Hierarchy – and both include the IIviDriver interfaces. Class-Compliant Hierarchy - Since the M9383A PXIe VSGdoes not belong to one of the 13 IVI Classes, there is no Class-Compliant Hierarchy in its IVI Driver.
