DriverInfo Struct

The Nimbus Runtime Library supplies the DriverInfo structure for controlling the standard Nimbus implementation of various IVI-defined functions. A single instance of this structure is maintained in the driver project’s DriverInfo.cpp file.

A single, global instance of the DriverInfo structure is maintained in the DriverInfo.cpp file and managed by Nimbus. The table below explains each of the members and the role they play in controlling the Nimbus implementation of various functions. It is important that all of these members are controlled via various settings in the Driver Settings Editor. Changes made by directly editing the values in the DriverInfo.cpp will be overwritten by Nimbus.

Important

All of the members below in the DriverInfo.cpp are routinely overwritten by Nimbus when the Driver Settings are modified. To change one of these values based on your driver, you must not edit the DriverInfo.cpp file.

DriverInfo Members

Member	Data Type	How to Set	Default	Description
DriverVendor	std::string	Driver Settings	Specified in wizard	Used to implement the SPECIFIC_DRIVER_VENDOR attribute.
DriverDescription	std::string	Driver Settings	Specified in wizard	Used to implement the SPECIFIC_DRIVER_DESCRIPTION attribute.
DriverRevision	std::string	Driver Settings	0.1.0.0	Used to implement the SPECIFIC_DRIVER_REVISION attribute.
GroupCapabilities	std::string	Driver Settings	All groups in selected classes	Used to implement the GROUP_CAPABILITIES attribute.
DefaultSimulatedModel	std::string	Driver Settings	First supported model	Used to determine which model is assumed when simulating and no Model option is passed to the InitWithOptions function.
