SECTION 7 DRIVERS

7.1 IVI Drivers

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 provides a standard set of
shared components that must be used by all 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 administration of systemwide configuration. These software
components may be found at: https://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 the IVI.net
components must both be installed.
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.
Finally, the Artesyn Power specific drivers must be installed. LXI-compliant IVI-C and LXI-
compliant IVI.NET drivers are available on the Artesyn Power website at:
https://artesynpower.com/drivers/. These drivers will act as a programmer's API to the
Bench iLS.
When installing the Artesyn Power specific drivers you may be prompted with the following
warning. If this occurs select More info and then select Run anyway.
