interfacing labview with analog to digital converter board

[kids]

Hi,

I am new to labview and I am trying to send the signal from an analog to digital converter evaluation board (analog devices AD7782) to labview.

The board comes with a software which is written in visual basic and C. and it is connected to my computer using a parallel port.

I do not know how the labview can recognize the board. is there an easy way to do this?

Hey there!

I found this information for you in our databases, hope this helps!

LabVIEW can communicate with 3rd party hardware using the Call Library function found in the Advanced palette under the Functions Palette. If your hardware is provided with a driver-level DLL then LabVIEW can communicate with the hardware. However, you will need complete documentation of the DLL in order for you to create your own interface for the 3rd party hardware.

Another option would be if the manufacturer of the hardware provided LabVIEW VIs that controls their hardware. You will not be able to use the National Instruments Data Acquisition (DAQ) VIs because those VIs use the NI-DAQ DLL, which is our driver-level software for our DAQ boards. Other companies use their own driver-level software to control their own hardware. Only National Instruments hardware uses the NI-DAQ driver which allows you to use the LabVIEW DAQ VIs.
