  • New .NET Driver Specifications (for .NET 6+)

    In January the IVI Foundation completed work on a new generation of lighter-weight driver specifications.  These new specifications align the IVI driver standards with common customer expectations around driver capability, while retaining the IVI Requirements for:

    • Testing - to ensure high quality drivers
    • Documentation - to ensure that driver users have access to documentation necessary to successfully use the driver
    • Source code - to enable customers to update and enhance drivers on their own

    Generation 2026 describes the new IVI Driver Generation.

  • February 2025 New Shared Components

    The IVI Foundation posted new digitally signed IVI and IVI.NET Shared Components.

    • IVI-6.1: High-Speed LAN Instrument Protocol (HiSLIP) has been updated to make secure connections using TLS (Transport Layer Security)

    • IVI VISA specifications had minor updates so VISA programs can specify and perform secure communication

    • IVI-6.5: SASL Mechanism Specification (New) was created to enhance interoperability between instruments and VISA libraries
