How long does it take to write an IVI driver

[Dr_Jonno]

I have to interface with a Lecroy LS140 scope. Could someone please give me a rough idea of how long it takes to write an IVI driver? I guess CVI is the way forward. What i've read so far talks about a wizard making life very easy, but are we talking hours, days, weeks?
I'm a proficient in c++.
Thanks

The IVI driver development time depends directly on the complexity of the instrument. To develop a full-featured IVI driver for a scope, it can probably take anywhere between 3 to 6+ weeks. The best approach is to start with the Instrument Driver Wizard in CVI which will provide you with a lot of detailed comments and examples describing how to develop a functional IVI specific driver from the templates.

Please refer to https://www.ni.com/en/support/downloads/instrument-drivers/tools-resources.html for more information about the tools and resources NI provides for the IVI driver development.
