Using MS Visual C 6.0, why does nidmm.lib load 68 dll?

I am using Visual C++ 6.0 to make measurements with a NI 4050. I am use nidmm.h and nidmm_32.lib to compile and link my program. I just want to make voltage readings. Why does nidmm load 68 dll? Can I limit this?

Hi Bob,

Just like any standard DLL, NI-DMM automatically loads all of the DLLs which it is dependent upon. All of these dependencies must be loaded in order for NI-DMM to function.

There is a helpful, free utility you can use to view the dependencies of a DLL:

Dependency Walker 2.1
http://www.dependencywalker.com/

Using this utility, you can see the DLLs that NI-DMM must load in order to function.

I hope this helps!
