Photon Beamscan LabVIEW NT program

[TeaAndBiscuits]

I need help in writing a labview 6.1 beamscan program with Photon-inc's beam, on Win NT.

The traditional program an x employee wrote 6 years back, involves server client configuration,and stops all of a sudden one fine day.

(however the vendor's legacy program shows correct scan)

Could someone have a straght Labview beamscan application ?

Even with other version will do; it may provide me steps to develop my own program (I do have scanio32.dll from vendor for WinNT)

Thanks

Hello,

This is a good place to see if someone has already done some development on that, but if you don't get many replies, you may try searching the web for that as well.  To use your dll in LabVIEW, you'll be using a Call Library Function Node - the following manual will help you with that:

As for making calls specifically to your dll, that's going to be a question either for someone who has already developed with it, or the vendor - this information may also be in the user manual for your device if you still have that!

Best Regards,

Hello JLS.

Thank you for reply and information.

I apologize, I should be clearer. I have created many DLL's in the past. Further I have  argument information about this specific DLL also.

What I am looking for is, the sequence of function calls, the specific sequence to configure the beamscan device, before it can be used.

If that wrapper (or a flow chart / top level VI ) is available, I will be able to integrate low level functionality with DLL calls.

Thanks again.

best regards
