The VISA standard<ref name="VISA Specification">{{cite news |url=http://www.ivifoundation.org/specifications/default.aspx

The VISA library has standardized the presentation of its operations over several software reuse mechanisms, including through a C [[Application programming interface|API]] exposed from Windows [[Library (computer science)#Dynamic linking|DLL]], visa32.dll and over the Microsoft [[Component Object Model|COM]] technology. A VISA[[.NET Framework|.NET]] implementation is currently (2012) under development by the IVI Foundation. Although there are several VISA vendors and implementations, applications written against VISA are (nominally) vendor-interchangeable thanks to the standardization of VISA's presentation and operations/capabilities. Implementations from specific vendors {{Specify|date=August 2015}} are also available for less common programming languages {{Specify|date=August 2015}} and software reuse technologies.
