Hi Joey,

I assume that if you are asking for a LabVIEW driver, you have the LabVIEW development enviroment.

LabVIEW has an utility that will automatically convert the LabWindows/CVI driver to the LabVIEW VIs. Go to the Tools menu >> Instrumentation >> Import CVI instrument driver. I believe this utility is included with any LabVIEW package.

What the conversion utility does is simply wrap the dll function calls in VIs using the information in the instrument driver's fp file.

It is important to note that you also need to compile the driver into a dll. When LabVIEW converts the instrument driver it assumes that there is a dll for the instrument driver. LabVIEW does not compile the C files for you. After you compile the files to a dll, place it with the
VIs.

Hope this helps out.
