calling into lvdaq.dll?

[Paul Probert]

Folks,
Suppose you're writing C programs to talk to NI DAQ devices. One
notices
that there is some functionality that LabView has, such as getting the
channel names,
that you can't get with the NIDAQ API. With LabView 6, though, you get
a peek at the
API offered by LVDAQ.dll by examining the "call library function" calls
that LabView
uses. Is anyone out there trying this? Have you found any documentation
on these functions?

A VI that is useful in general is this (the URL is split over 2 lines.):

http://zone.ni.com/devzone/explprog.nsf/6c163603265406328625682a006ed37d/90e15135d6d37fd9862567cf0065eee4

That lists all functions exported by a given DLL, not just a DLL written
by NI.

I don't believe there are any undocumented functions of NI-DAQ that LabVIEW uses. I think that the channel names come from MAX.
