Tools»IVI Development»Edit IVI Specific Driver Attributes

Use the Edit IVI Specific Driver Attributes command to add, delete, or edit attributes for an IVI instrument driver. You can select this command only if the file in the Source window has the same path and base filename as an instrument driver function panel (.fp) file and its associated .sub file. The command is useful only if you used the Create IVI Specific Driver command to generate the instrument driver files.

The Edit IVI Specific Driver Attributes command analyzes the instrument driver files to find all the attributes the driver uses. The command then opens a dialog box that displays the attributes and various information about them. In the dialog box, you can add or delete attributes, modify their properties, and enter help text for them. When you apply the changes, the command modifies the source, include, and function panel files for the instrument driver.

If you select this command when the text cursor is over the defined constant name or callback function name for one of the attributes, the dialog box appears with that attribute selected in the list box.
