Labview File Location for Custom Instrument

[Greg@Delphi]

We have a DLL for an internally developed CAN interface we call a SAINT box.  One of our Engineers has written a DLL it and uses it in Test Stand.  We were hoping to use it LABView.  I suppose I have two questions...

1. If it works in Test Stand, can we expect it to work in LABView and...

2. Where should we place the DLL inside the LABView directory structure, in order to be able to access it...

Anything else I am missing...?

Thanks and regards,

1. Yes

2. Wherever you have it for Test Stand should work fine, when you create the VIs to access the DLL you can specify the complete path to the DLL. Having said that, it would probibly be better to have it in the Windfows system directory for DLLs. Because that is a known path, all you have to do is specify the DLL name.
