Adding Support for an Instrument Class

To add support for an instrument class

Section titled “To add support for an instrument class”

  1. From Solution Explorer, double-click the Driver Settings Editor node under the Nimbus node.

  2. The Driver Settings Editor appears.

  3. Select the Instrument Classes tab.

  4. From the list of Available instrument classes, select the instrument class you wish to add to the driver, and select Add.

  5. When the operation completes, the newly added instrument classes will appear in the IVI.NET Driver Designer tree view. In addition, Nimbus performs a variety of tasks to add support for the selected instrument classes:

    • A reference to the IVI instrument class assembly is added to the driver project.
    • Any repeated capabilities defined by the instrument class are added to the driver and any supporting interfaces, methods, properties, and classes are added to the driver hierarchy.
    • Implementation code for the methods and properties defined on the instrument class are added to the driver project.
    • Unit test code for exercising the instrument class methods and properties is added to the unit test project.
    • The driver installer is updated to register the driver with the IVI Configuration Store as supporting the selected instrument classes.

The remaining topics in this section discuss each wizard page separately.
