ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a test and measurement application executing on a computing device is interfaced with one or more external device coupled to the computing device. A device driver is selected for use with one of the external device from two or more available device drivers that are each compatible with the external device. The device driver is coupled to a virtual driver interface that provides the test and measurement application with a standardized interface to any of the two or more available device drivers. The test and measurement application communicates with the external device through the virtual driver interface.
