LabVIEW and C code

[MarcoMauri]

No, you don't.

What you have to do is to implement  the TCP/IP server on the Labview side and the client  on the C side.

And you have to choose a protocol for the tranferred data.

At the end you'll have two executables talking to each other.

As a side benefit the two executables could run on two different machines.

What part is it that you need to do from within LabVIEW?

If it is only the acquisition which is part of the NI-IMAQdx driver. You could just call those acquisition functions directly from C.

Oesen's license is for CVI 2.1 though, which looks ancient. Does that include NI-IMAQdx support?

From his post it sounded more like he was interested in creating a component i LabVIEW and ship and to his friends computer. So I don't think that the CVI compiler is the one to be used, but we need more info here. So I doubt that it would make a difference.

But if he can create a LabVIEW DLL which includes call to the IMAQ dll then there should be no problem in calling the IMAQ dll seperately as well. 

I'm a huge LabVIEW fan so I don't normally recommend people to avoid LabVIEW but in this case it sounds like a big overhead to create a LabVIEW module for calling the vision functions from C when you can already call the native vision functions directly.

Hi Anders.

I didn't know that i directly could call those acquisations from C. Due to my personal experience, it is long time ago I worked with C, so I prefer to do this solution in LabVIEW, otherwise my 2 weeks of working will be lost.
