  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:
  <drive>:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\IVI\Bin\Primary Interop Assemblies

  The PIA is also installed into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) if
  you have the .NET framework installed.

About KI Class Drivers
----------------------
This instrument driver utilizes Kikusui custom class interfaces and drivers.
Their installation requires a separate setup program provided by Kikusui,
which will install the IVI-COM type library and IVI-C class driver DLLs.
(This is only required when your app utilizes interchangeability feature
between the instruments that belong to the desired instrument class.)
