encapsulates many low-level operations, such as data formatting and
GPIB, RS-232, and VXI communication, into intuitive, high-level
functions. An instrument driver can pertain to one particular
instrument or to a group of related instruments. An instrument driver
consists of a program and a set of function panels. The program
contains the code for the high-level functions. Associated with the
instrument program is an include file that declares the high-level
functions you can call, the global variables you can access, and the
defined constants you can use.
