getting nkdptp.dll working

[Moi²]

Hi,

i am trying to get the dll from Nikons SDK to work with LabVIEW. If I include the DLL "nkdptp.dll" with the DLL-Node there is only one function listed in the drop down box. Function name is "NkDriverEntry".

Additionaly there is a "Type0004.md3" file in the SDK. If I try to include this file via DLL-node, it shows the following 2 functions:

"MAIDEntryPoint" and "NkDevCtrlEntry".

The manual of the sdk is not very helpful for this task.
Does anybody know, how to get the camera functions?

I am working with the D7000.

[gregorelectric]

could you upload the files for me? What about a header file?

[Moi²]

That is the SDK for the Nikon D7000.

[gregorelectric]

I am sorry, but in the dllis only this one funktion exported. We can't do anything about that.

Best Regards

Gregor

Thanks for trying, but is there no way? The dll must have other functions (referring to the manual)! The problem is, that Labview does not recognize them.

[gregorelectric]

I dont know the manual, but LabVIEW shows all functions that were exported. If Nikon did not export more funktions we cant see them.

Hay, 

I'm also intersting to make an open source library of VI to take picture with a nikon camera.

I found this C# wrapper

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nikoncswrapper/

Maybe it could be possible to call the wrapper from labview and use the functions inside ...

Hi Benoit,

I also found this Wrapper. The Nikon SDK is - uhhm let´s say - suboptimal

With this C# Wrapper the SDK lib's are useful.

I have tried to make the Wrapper work with LabView but I failed. Now I decided to create my program with C#.

If you are able to make the Wrapper work with LabView I would be glad if you post your experience.
