help needed for cin

[cecilers]

Hi,

I have a program in C++ that controls an USB device with a lot of headers and C++ classes. I would like to control my device from Labview 7.0 so I was thinking about CIN. I have some questions to ask.

First of all, VC++ and Labview are not on the same computer. Is it possible to just copy the cintools folder on the pc that have VC++. Will it work ?

How can I modify my program to be accept as a .c ressource ? Do I need to create first .c from a CIN on Labview and then modify it or can I use directly my cpp program ?

Thank you in advance

Cecile

Hi, I don't understand your problem, if you have the source code of you application, you can call the CIN node .
look the word file for explaination
If you have already any problem, why don't make a DLL with VC++ for directly call you USB device with Lv DLL node.

First of all, thanks for the reply.

My main question was to know if it was possible to have Labview on one computer and VC++ on an other one and create a cin just by coping the cintools directory on my VC++'s pc?

Why do you want to make a CIN instead of just creating a dll? Do a search of the forum for CIN and you will find some excellent posts from rolfk about why there is littel reason to use a CIN anymore.
