IVI Support for Spectrum Analyzer/Signal Gen

[Hagay 260]

Did anyone implemented IVI driver for Spectrum Analyzer or Signal genetrator according to the IVI foundation specifications?
When will NI support these types in the measurement studio?

Hagay,

We are working to update our IVI architecture to be compliant with the latest IVI Foundation specifications, including support for the Power Meter, Spectrum Analyzer, and RF Signal Generator classes. Furthermore, support will be available for both MeasurementStudio, LabWindows/CVI, and LabVIEW.

While National Instruments will have a select few instrument specific drivers available for the new classes, you should be able to obtain drivers from instrument vendors.

Unfortunately, we are unable to comment on the exact nature and timeframe of the new class support.

However, what you can do is e-mail instrument.driver@ni.com, and request to be notified when we have announced more specific information. You may also request to recieve and test beta releases of the software.
