Motorized stage library: .dll's and API.

[Eviatar]

Hi all,

I've built software that follows small worms (1mm in length), sequestered in a petri dish, using a motorized stage to keep them in view of a recording camera. I'd like to extend my software to interface with NI supported stages. My software is written in Java and I'd like to connect to the NI C libraries in order to command any connected stages. I was wondering 2 things:

1. Which NI .dll's do I need to do this and where do they reside? (I have to load these libraries into Java so that I can call functions within them).

2. Where can I find the C API for commanding NI motorized stages so that I'm able to see the function declarations and link correctly to the .dll's?

Thank you so much,

Ev

The location of our motion .lib files are in the \National Instruments\NI-Motion\ folder. You will probably want to look in the lib and Include folders. The Include folder has all the header files that we provide.
