I'm having difficulty finding information regarding the IVI Compliance Package, in regard to in what order to install it, versus installing IVI drivers from the NI site. I'm assuming one should install the IVI Compliance Package first, but where is this documented. I know I've read and heard in various forums, that the order one installs certain LabVIEW items, seems to be critical to getting proper performance. Is it just me, or is there some place that documents this within NI? I've been to a few seminars and one "class", but get the feel that folks have trouble with the various instrument driver approaches (VISA versus IVI versus GPIB, etc., etc.)

Although we do specify what order to install software LabVIEW»Modules»Toolkits»Other Software»Driver we do not specify what order to install IVI drivers. It would depend on what the IVI drivers do. Some IVI drivers use VISA comands so you would want to install VISA first.

ICP and VISA are both included in the Driver CD/DVD.
Or if you don't have the Driver DVD the installation order would be LV, VISA, ICP
