With IVCAD, the industry leading device characterization software platform brought to you by Maury Microwave and AMCAD Engineering, its a simple task for users to create custom instrument drivers.

In this video, Applications Engineer John Dominguez gives a brief introduction to creating user drivers, and creates a fully functioning power meter driver in just a few minutes. John defines the instrument type, introduces the layout of the user driver interface, adds commands for each of the required power meter functions, tests each command and response from the instrument, and finally compiles the finished power meter driver. Once complete, John tests the finished driver in the measurement system.
