System and method for simulating operations of an instrument

摘要: A system and method for controlling an instrumentation system, wherein the present invention includes improved instrument driver software architecture. The architecture of provides a number features, including simulation features. may comprise computer comprising CPU memory. memory store user application, class driver, driver. application is operable to perform using instrument, first class. receive calls from common plurality instruments then call simulate operation instrument. For example, be output values return function calls. preferably also specific which respective at least portion each
