Hi Jason,
I would recommend trying our example programs to verify that they are able to link the HSDIO library properly. This can be accomplished by going to Start » All Programs » National Instruments » NI-HSDIO » Examples » C. I would take a look at the dynamic generation example found here: "C:\Program Files\IVI\Drivers\niHSDIO\Examples\c\Dynamic Generation\DynamicGeneration". Open the file named
DynamicGeneration.dsp and it should allow you to convert the project to a Visual Studio 2005 project. I would then verify that you are able to run the project with no errors. This example should give you the proper method to link the niHSDIO.lib file. I would also recommend looking at the NI Digital Waveform Generator-Analyzer Help (Start » All Programs » National Instruments » NI-HSDIO » Documentation). There is a section entitled "Using NI-HSDIO in Visual C++" (NI Digital Waveform Generator-Analyzer Help » Programming » Getting Started with NI-HSDIO) that might help you out.
I hope this helps,
Paul C.
