A display of JPI avionics. J.P. Instruments is an American aircraft avionics manufacturer. [1] The company was founded in Santa Ana, California marketing its first product, "The Scanner", to monitor engine temperatures in piston engine aircraft. In 1992, JPI came out with the EDM-500 which electronically monitors and stores engine parameters. [2]
An instrument driver, in the context of test and measurement (T&M) application development, is a set of software routines that simplifies remote instrument control. Instrument drivers are specified by the IVI Foundation [1] and define an I/O abstraction layer using the virtual instrument software architecture (VISA). The VISA hardware ...
Test drivers are tailored to meet the unique requirements of different testing environments. With manual test drivers, testers can directly initiate actions, offering them direct control throughout the testing phase. In comparison, automated test drivers—typically in the form of tools or scripts—can carry out tests on their own.
In addition to the hardware bus to control an instrument, software for the PC is also needed. Virtual Instrument Software Architecture, or VISA, was developed by the VME eXtensions for Instrumentation (VXI) plug and play Systems Alliance as a specification for I/O software. VISA was a step toward industry-wide software compatibility.
Virtual instrument software architecture (VISA) is a widely used application programming interface (API) in the test and measurement (T&M) industry for communicating with instruments from a computer. VISA is an industry standard implemented by several T&M companies, such as, Anritsu , Bustec , Keysight Technologies , Kikusui, National ...

SCPI commands to an instrument may either perform a set operation (e.g. switching a power supply on) or a query operation (e.g. reading a voltage). Queries are issued to an instrument by appending a question-mark to the end of a command. Some commands can be used for both setting and querying an instrument.
In computer programming, instrumentation is the act of modifying software so that analysis can be performed on it. Generally, instrumentation either modifies source code or binary code. Instrumentation enables profiling: [1] measuring dynamic behavior during a test run.
