How to Create IVI C class drivers for MilStd1553?

I need to develop an IVI-C Class driver for Mil Std 1553 which is a PXI based instrument.I am using LabWindows/CVI 7.0 , "Instrument Driver Development Wizard" now. There I find only VXI , Serial and GPIB instruments driver development wizard. How can i do that for PXI instruments?

Hi VISA-COM,

Yes, it is possible. The IVI Specific Driver Wizard customizes the Specific Driver templates, so you will need to know the instrument inside and out in order to write a decent driver. If you will be doing register-based communication to the PXI card,  I recommend first running the wizard and selecting VXI-register based and working from there.

Is VISA driver development an option? If so, check out the following page:
