What are all the ways to create a DLL from National Instruments Software

[telenochek]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a .dll for use with Visual C++ or Visual Basic (2005) from National Instrument drivers.

I have .fp (for LabWindows/CVI) file, and I also have an LLB (LabView Library)

I understand that .fp requires LabWindows/CVI, and LLB requires ApplicationBuilder to compile into a DLL.

I don't have either LW/CVI or ApplicationBuilder, however I have LabView & measurement studio.

Are there any other options to compile the DLL from the files that I have?
I heard you could use Measurement Studio to compile the .fp file into a dll.

Thanks!

Hello telenochek,

Do you have any other files to go with your .fp like a .h and .c or a .dll?  Usually a .fp has a .dll that implements the functions that are specified in the .fp.

If you have a .dll with your .fp here are instructions on how to add it to a Visual Studio project:

If you have the source code, here are instructions on building a project with your CVI code in Visual Studio:
