The only set of tools you'll need for standards-compliant IVI driver development and management ... all within the Microsoft® Visual Studio® environment

Looking for a nimble, cost-effective, and powerful software suite designed to make IVI driver development and maintenance simple and pain-free? The Nimbus Driver Studio™ will guide you through the entire driver development process - from design to validation, implementation to testing, documentation to deployment - without leaving the Microsoft® Visual Studio® environment.

The Nimbus Driver Studio eliminates the complexities of IVI driver development and lets you focus on your instrument

IVI-COM and IVI-C Support

Produce both IVI-COM and IVI-C drivers from a single code base.

No Complex Programming Required

Nimbus handles all the complexities of C++ and COM for you. Add, remove, and modify the functionality of your IVI driver quickly and easily, using intuitive wizards.

Automatic Code Round-Tripping

Make decisions about the layout of methods, interfaces, and other characteristics at any time ... even after implementation and let Nimbus handle all of the messy code modifications.

Full IVI Compliance

Enjoy guaranteed compliance with all the latest IVI specifications ... and pinpoint potential compliance errors in your driver design.

Real-World Testing and Quality Assurance

We put Nimbus to the test every single day ... by using it to provide our own IVI development services for the industry’s biggest names and our most demanding customers.

Additional Benefits:

No Special Software Tools to Buy

Nimbus integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Visual Studio every step of the way. Stay within the Visual Studio environment to build your IVI-COM and IVI-C driver, your help file, your regression test, and even your installer program. That means no complicated third-party tools to purchase in order to build and maintain the driver or any of its components.

No Added Runtime Components Needed

Nimbus-developed drivers are fully self-contained. Everything needed to run them is built right in. No additional runtime DLLs or IVI engine components are required.

Forward Compatibility

Use the Nimbus drivers you build today to develop the IVI.NET drivers of tomorrow - without buying any new tools down the road. We’ve taken steps to ensure the designs you create today will be leveragable in future driver technologies, such as IVI.NET.

Easy LabVIEW Integration

Bring your Nimbus-developed drivers directly into LabVIEW.
