NIWOT, CO--(Marketwire - May 28, 2009) - The IVI Foundation announces the release of language specific versions of the IVI Getting Started Guide. Each version is focused on a particular Application Development Environment (ADE) and includes an introduction as well as a detailed example demonstrating the common steps to use an IVI driver in a particular ADE.

"The release of the IVI Getting Started Guides for specific development environments allows people to quickly find the information relevant to their use of IVI drivers," said Joe Mueller, President of the IVI Foundation. "It enables people to get started quickly using an IVI driver in whatever development environment they choose."

A separate guide is available for each of the following ADEs:

  • Microsoft® Visual C++
  • Microsoft Visual C# and Visual Basic .NET
  • National Instruments LabVIEW™
  • National Instruments LabWindows™/CVI™
  • The MathWorks MATLAB®
  • Data Translation Measure Foundry®
  • TYX PAWS

The full IVI Getting Started Guide, which includes a chapter for each ADE, was originally released in April of 2008 to help users new to IVI instrument drivers get started quickly. The example provided in the guide performs a measurement on a simulated instrument and returns the result.
