Hi Shamaran,

When using the Call Library Function Node to call a DLL in LabVIEW, you normally need to add the parameters manually, just as what you experience in your 2nd screenshot.

If a Type Library (*.lib file) is generated together with the DLL, and your DLL uses simple datatype (int, string, etc.), LabVIEW may be able to automatically detect all parameters correctly.

However, I see from your first screenshot that your function prototype has a rather complex list of parameters. That is why you can't get them automatically added in LabVIEW. Please add them manually to use the DLL.

Some other considerations for calling a DLL created from LabVIEW are available in this KB.

You may also find this KB useful for calling a LabVIEW DLL from CVI.

Let me know if you need more help.
