    *"NI VirtualBench" uses proprietary drivers, not a DAQM driver. I.e. it is not integrated into National Instruments' "Measurement & Automation Explorer" :-(. This means that you just can access the device by special virtual instruments from within LabVIEW, and by the supplied Windows desktop application. You can´t access it neither by other National Instrument software tools ( e.g. National Instruments "Measurement Studio" ), nor by self-created Windows applications written in C#, C/C++,...
    *Indeed there some other sophisticated devices of National Instrument without DAQM driver :-(, more than you imagine at first thinking :-(.
    *It uses a Ethernet-over-USB protocol ( [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_over_USB|EN.Wikipedia "Ethernet over USB"]] ).

==== EXAM ====
=== The Tool ===
  *The free [[http://www.micronova.de/exam|EXtended Automation Method ( EXAM )]], [[http://www.exam-ta.de/|EXtended Automation Method ( EXAM ) ]], an Eclipxe-based Python 2.x application by [[http://www.micronova.de/|MicroNova AG]] for Windows.
    *[[http://www.micronova.de/de/testautomation.html|MicroNova AG]].
      *[[http://www.exam-ta.de/de/about-exam/exam-3-0.html|MicroNova AG "About EXAM / EXAM 3.0. EXAM wird mehrspurig – EXAM 3.0 geht 2010 an den Start"]].
    *[[http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/EXAM|DE.Wikipedia "EXAM"]].
    *Based on the test automation process EXAM ( EXtended Automation Method ).
    *"Als weltweit exklusiver EXAM-Distributor des Volkswagen Konzerns bieten wir Automobilherstellern und Zulieferern den kostenfreien Download von EXAM an".
    *Features.
      *EXAM 3.x: "Reporting with [[http://www.eclipse.org/birt|BIRT]]".
      *"[[http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/doors/|Doors]] Synchronizer".
      *"EXAM Scripting".
      *Interfaces / Scripting:
        *Python 2.7 ( see [[python.html|Python]] )

      *A database is needed for operation. Supported databases:
        *The OpenSource SQL database [[http://www.postgresql.org/|PostgreSQL]] 9.4. PostgreSQL 8.4 shipped with the EXAM EA package. At the installation, you are asked to confirm the installation path ( e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Postgre" ) and the database installation path ( e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Postgre" ).
        *The OpenSource SQL database [[http://www.mysql.com/|MySQL]] 5.6, not shipped with the EXAM EA package.
        *The SQL database [[http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/|Oracle Database]] 10g/11g (SE/XE) - Free or commercial edition, not shipped with the EXAM EA package.
      *For EXAM 4:

      *EXAM Codegenerator -> [[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/|Java Platform Standard Edition]] 6.

=== Concept ===
  *EXAM as supervisory control application is used for triggering communications with the target device-under-test, only, usually by communicating with software interfaces to CAN-Bus, e.g.
      *of a USB_2_CAN-Bus device.
      *or another software application like "Vector Informatics CANalyzer" which may communicate by CAN-Bus with the device under test.
  *EXAM is not used for simulation of the environment of the device-under-test.
  *EXAM is both used for development, software-test on module level and especially also for black-box tests.
  *The rest of the car and its control devices is simulated by a MATLAB/Simulink application.
  *In opposite, "Vector Informatics CANalyzer" might also be used for simulation of the environment of the device-under-test ?!
=== Installation ===
  *Just if you select these options during the installation process, the necessary database schemes are created in the selected databases :-):
    *[x] Database.
      *[x]PostgreSQL 8.4 - A Postgres database. It will be automatically installed and configured to be usable with EXAM.
      *[ ] Oracle - Configure a Oracle Database to be usable with EXAM -> Missing functionality / software bug of EXAM 3.1: EXAM does not generate the necessary database schemes. So you can´t use EXAM with Oracle, and this option is quiet useless :-(.
      *[ ] MySQL - Configure a MySQL Database to be usable with EXAM -> Missing functionality / software bug of EXAM 3.1: EXAM does not generate the necessary database schemes. So you can´t use EXAM with MySQL, and this option is quiet useless :-(.
  *[[http://www.exam-ta.de/en/forum/topic/69.html|EXAM Forum "EXAM und MySQL"]], 2011-07-20 - "Die Installationsroutine von EXAM (basierend auf meinen Erfahrungen) kann selbständig keine User oder Tabellen anlegen, weder in MySQL noch in Oracle" :-(.
  *Configuration: If you execute the menu option "Update / Model" by right-click on a project in administration mode, be shure to import both "_1_core.zip" and "EXAMples.zip", as there is no second chance to do so.
