Shared Components
To improve users' experience when they combine drivers and other software from
various vendors, it is important to have some key software components common to
all implementations. In order to accomplish this, the IVI Foundation provides a
standard set of shared components that must be used by all compliant drivers and
ancillary software. These components provide services to drivers and driver
clients that need to be common to all drivers, for instance, the administration
of system-wide configuration.
Generally, these components are provided to end customers along with IVI drivers
and other software tools they acquire from various vendors. Customers acquiring
the IVI Shared Components this way generally receive support directly from those
vendors. The components are also available via the links below, however no
customer support is provided by the IVI Foundation.

VISA Shared Component Downloads
The VISA Shared Components are typically installed when installing a VISA
library from a specific vendor. However, the VISA Shared Components are
offered here as a separate installer if users wish to install them on a
system that does not have VISA. For instance, if you wish to use an IVI
driver in simulation mode, you can install the VISA Shared Components
without having a full VISA library on your system.
