Have a .LIB instead of DLL

[FredFred]

All,

I have a .LIB that has the functions needed to control and instrument. The dll associated with the instrument only has a Class installer. How can i create vi's for this instrument based on the .LIB file? Is it possible?

Not directly. You need to write in a C compiler compatible with the object format of your lib file a DLL that exports wrapper functions for all functions inside that lib and link the lib into that DLL project. Then you can call the lib functions through the Call Library Node and the Wrapper DLL interface.
