Installation
-------------
System Requirements: The driver installation will check for the
following requirements. If not found, the installer will either
abort, warn, or install the required component as appropriate.
Supported Operating Systems:
Windows 8
Windows 8.1
Windows 10
Shared Components
Before this driver can be installed, your computer must already
have the IVI Shared Components installed.
Minimal IVI Version: 2.2.0
The IVI Shared Components installer is available from:
http://www.ivifoundation.org/Downloads/SharedComponents.htm
VISA-COM
Any compliant implementation is acceptable. Typically, VISA-COM is
installed with VISA and other I/O library modules.
Additional Setup
----------------
.NET Framework
The .NET Framework itself is not required by this driver. If you
plan to use the driver with .NET, the minimal .NET framework version is 2.0.
The .NET Framework requires an interop assembly for a COM
server. A Primary Interop Assembly, along with an XML file for
IntelliSense is installed with the driver. The driver's PIA, along
with IVI PIAs are installed, by default, in:
:Program FilesIVI FoundationIVIBinPrimary Interop Assemblies
The PIA is also installed into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) if
you have the .NET framework installed.
