New Driver Wizard - Basic Driver

This is the essentially the classic New Driver Wizard from Niagara AX versions 3.0 and 3.1

In general, it takes significantly more development effort to create a Niagara AX field-driver from the Basic Driver Framework than it does from the Developer Driver Framework. The Developer Driver Wizard is generally recommended instead. Nevertheless, the Basic Driver Wizard is available for those who do not wish to use to the Developer Driver Framework.
