vantage pro shared library error

[break406]

Greetings

I have found a example in the help menu in real time/ tool kit/ getting started. I am hoping this will read information from my cRIO and display it. I am using dll from vantage vue but I am recieving this error. Can anyone give some suggestions of how to reolve this? I have placed them into the library but still no luck.

LabVIEW:  Failed to load shared library VantagePro.*:_LoadCurrentVantageData_V@0:C. Ensure that the library is present on the RT target. Use MAX to install NI software or FTP to transfer custom libraries to the RT target.

Thank you

cRIO is a completely different target to your host system (most likely Windows). Depending on your compactRIO controller it even uses a completely different CPU and OS than your host. As such the shared library that you got needs to be recompiled for the cRIO target and in the case of VxWorks based targets manually copied to the cRIO controller through FTP.

Here you can check what target architecture and OS your cRIO target uses. This is a KB article about calling shared libraries for VxWorks based targets.

Basically if your target runs VxWorks there is no way around creating a VxWorks based shared library and for that you need the C source code and possibly make changes to get it compiled as VxWorks implements a limited Posix compliant API, which means it is a lot like Unix/Linux as far as API calls are concerned but doesn't implement the entire Posix standard (which is a rather fuzzy term anyhow).

If your target runs Pharlap ETS then there is a chance that the DLL can be used on it, but only if it is not compiled in the latest super duper Visual C environment (NI Pharlap ETS only supports the VC 2008 C runtime library or so).  Also your shared library can not use every Win32 API call out there, as the Pharlap ETS OS only implements a subset of the evergrowing Win32 API.

And what is the error? what Operating System? OS and LabVIEW versions? The target you try to put this on? Exact error messages?
