Acquisition with a no nationnal instrument card

[tony85]

We have a PC-ADC12B8V/D card from Digimetrie to do conversion from digital to analogic. But we have no drivers that allow LabView to recognize the card. We just have a dll and a header file contening fonctions. We try the LabView "call library" fonction but it doesn't work. We probably have forgotten something...
Thank you for helps.

Hi Anthony,
Your dll file should contain a list of functions. When you use the Call Library Function (CLF), right click it and select configure. Select the right dll and function name in the dialog box. More information on using CLF is found in this document under 'Shared Library'
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/370109a.pdf

You will also need to refer to the card manual for initialization routines/functions and starting the input/output processes.

I have also been through a similar process where I had to interface a non-NI instrument with labview. I found that a well written instrument manual really helps.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
