How to import a basic command write in C++ , visual basic ...

[Dralex]

HEllo,

I have an extern peripheric connected to the pc by USB and I have basics commands to control him written in C++ ( or visual basic ) and I would like to import all those commands on Labview to control the peripheric ( I a naab in  Labvieww 😞 ).

If this is impossible how do you advise me to control this peripheric if I have these basics commands.

Little precision to say you that this perepheric is a new peripheric ( created in laboratory but no by me ^^ ) and the person who create this divice ask to me to control it with Labview.

Thanks a lot.

The quickest solution for you might be to compile your C++ code into a DLL which you can then call from LabVIEW. Did you write the C-code or did somebody else? Calling a DLL from LabVIEW isn't difficult, as long as you're dealing with simple data types. There's a really good example that ships with LabVIEW that shows you how to do this. Check the "Help->Find Examples." and then click the "Search" tab and look for "DLL".

Also, if you have access to the API from VB, it might already be setup as a COM or ActiveX object. If that is the case, you can easily call it from LV using the ActiveX nodes.

I don't write myself the C++ commands but the idee to import the dll with labview is good I will have a look on the examples you say and if I need help I will come back.

I don't habe the VB commands so it's over for your solution Lycangeek 😞

thanks for these answers
