A logical device driver is a high level abstraction of how a device behaves. A physical device driver is a driver for a specific piece of hardware. The logical device driver talks to the physical device driver for you to keep you abstracted from the underlying hardware. For example, there are many different types of printers, and they typically come with their own drivers.
An instrument driver is a set of software routines that control a programmable instrument. Each routine corresponds to a programmatic operation such as configuring, reading from, writing to, and triggering the instrument. Instrument drivers simplify instrument control and reduce test program development time by eliminating the need to learn the programming protocol for each instrument.
