Welcome to the Interchangeable Virtual Instrument Foundation

The IVI Foundation is an open consortium founded to promote specifications for programming test instruments that simplify interchangeability, provide better performance, and reduce the cost of program development and maintenance.

IVI Overcomes Industry Challenges

In today's world two factors hinder efficient test system setup and support:

1) the high cost of developing and maintaining test system software and, 2) rapidly evolving technology. The IVI Foundation addresses these needs through new driver technology:

IVI drivers define a new level of quality, completeness, usability, and functionality that reduces the cost of test system development and ownership.

IVI drivers simplify upgrading or replacing components in complex test systems intended to be used over a long period of time. The IVI Foundation was formed in 1998 and officially incorporated in 2001. Its membership includes end-users, instrument vendors, software vendors, system suppliers, and system integrators.
