Well, today not every one supports all LXI instrument classes, not all accommodate both IVI-COM and IVI-C drivers, and some require that you purchase advanced versions or extra modules to gain LXI access.

Several vendors-most notably Agilent Technologies, Data Translation, The MathWorks, and National Instruments-have adapted their application development environments to support LXI system development.

With more LXI hardware coming to market and engineers taking a closer look at this technology, questions from developers and system integrators also involve software issues: What tools are available to help me program an LXI system, and how do they differ? For example, what debug facilities are at my disposal?
