Use C DLL in LabWindows\CVI

[Padilam]

Hi

I am having a client hardware which provide some signal(PWM,Switch to Ground etc) The client has provided a DLL(Complete C DLL) for interacting with the Hardware. I want to know how to use the DLL for interacting hardware using Labwindows\cvi.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Sree,

Do you also have a header file and a library file? If not, you might be able to create them using the "Create ActiveX Controller Wizard" from the Tools menu. Now, you should add the library file (*.lib) to you project, and include the header file (using the #include statement) in each source file that calls a function from the dll. If no help is provided on how to use the dll, you should read the header file to check which functions and type definitions are available. You can find the same info here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3341#toc6

Good luck...
