National Instruments distributes VXIplug&play instrument drivers free
of charge. VXIplug&play instrument drivers are one level above the
NI-DAQ device driver and contain high-level software functions whose
architecture is specified by the VXIplug&play Systems Alliance. The
VXIplug&play standards increase interoperability with other vendors,
and ensure that drivers are designed and presented in a consistent
fashion that facilitates ease of use. Refer to Figure 1-2 to see the
relationship between your VXI-DAQ hardware and your software.
