integrate IVI in TestStand

[Mackemann]

Hi,

   I've download form the website from Xantrex the LV drivers for those power supplies (I attach them). Is it possible to create an IVI driver for TestStand 3.1 with all those VIs? How can I manage it? Is ther some documentation on the web about this?

Thanks in advance,

Angel

You cannot use native LabVIEW drivers with IVI. There are a couple of IVI drivers available for Xantrex instruments. If either of those are for the model of power supply you have, download that one and install it.

Hi Dennis,

    I've already download and installed the XPD LabWindows/CVI 6.0 IVI driver. How can I configure TestStand in order to have available the driver to use it from there?

Thanks in advance,

Angel

You have to first configure MAX to use the specific driver you downloaded. I've got MAX 4.1 and when you open it, one of the options on the right side of the screen is "Configure my IVI Instrument Drivers". Follow the directions there and once that is done, you can use the IVI step in TestStand.
