Hi Manju,

Referring to your earlier post, I assume that for the WiFi communication you intend to use the TCP library and the Windows SDK for the IrDA communication.

The TCP Library should be available in the Base Package, however, the Windows SDK libraries are limited in the Base Package, the Full Development System contains the bulk of the functions. For a list of this refer to the CVI Help: Calling Windows SDK Functions in LabWindows/CVI.

You can refer the to comparision page to see what the differences are between the packages.

Hi,

I have one question regarding creating and using DLL in differnt versions of LabWindows/CVI

Scenario

Assume, I have created DLL in Labwindows/CVI suite package,  ( DLL contains functions for communication through USB, Wi - Fi, IRDA )

Then can I pass this DLL to people using Labwindows/CVI full package for USB, Wi - Fi, IRDA communication.

This works or any changes required to use dll in labwindows/CVI full version?

Regards

Hi ManjuTN,

I assume you are talking about the Developer Suite when you say LabWindows/CVI suite package. Yes, you should be able to create your DLLs in the developer suite version of LabWindows/CVI and then pass them along for use on a computer that has the Full Development System or even Base.

Hi,

I came to know windows SDK is must for IRDA communication.

Assume user developed DLL for USB, Wi - Fi and IRDA communication in labwindows/CVI full development version ( windows SDK is present in labwindows/CVI full version ). Can user use this DLL in other computer having windows XP (  windows SDK is a part of operating system ) operating system with Labwindows/CVI Basic version installed.

(In Labwindows/CVI basic version windows SDK is absent but windows SDK is present as a part of windows XP operating system)

Weather DLL works fine or not ?.

ManjuTN,

You should be fine in that case.  Best of luck with the rest of your development!
