Hi Demmy

What LabVIEW version are you using? If you are using version 8 and higher then you have to have your VIs loaded into a LabVIEW project and you use the project build specification.

Here is a quick summary:

In the project window right click build specifications and choose New -> Shared Library (DLL). This will open the window to create the dll.

 

Go to the Source Files category and use the arrow to take the VIs that you want into exported VIs, a dialog will then come up to define the function prototype for that vi. Do this for each vi you want to access in your dll.

 

You will need LabVIEW professional version to create dlls and the target computer where you are using the dll must have the LabVIEW run time engine installed.
