how to use and configure CIN node

[knifeman]

Hi everybody, I am looking for help about how to configure and use the CIN node.

My platform is Windows 2000 OS + LabVIEW 8.0 + VC++6.0.

According to <using External Code in LabVIEW> manual which I downloaded from NI’s web ni.com, I wrote the .c file completely and compiled successfully which is just accomplish A*B function, but no .lsb file has borne!

Read the manual carefully and I found there is a section in page 75^th the Visual C++ command line. It says that “using command line tools in Windows to build CINs”, and in page 76^th it says again that “you can compile the CIN code using the following command, where mult is the makefile name: nmake/f mult.lvm” .

And now I want to ask the questions: What is command line tools? How to find it and how to use it? Where should the command “nmake/f mult.lvm” be? Is the .lvm file be independent completely from the other files such as .c file? How to use .lvm file and write to where?

In the installation directory of LabVIEW, you'll find a directory named "cintools", which contained the files and tools needed to compile the .lsb file. I think the command line tools may mean this. You should copy the directory into the DLL Project for the purpose of compling. Please have a look at the following link, which may be helpful.
