Using Tekscan API-2 w/ LabVIEW

[Paul Kuenzi]

I am attempting to interface to Tekscan's API-2 through LabVIEW.  However, I appear to be unable to get the DLL to connect correctly.  Does anyone have any experience with this product?  It appears from the manual that all the commands that I need are in there.  However, when using the Call Library Function Node, only a couple of server related commands appear. 

The I-Scan version is 6.0.  I'm using LabVIEW 8.6.

Presumably it's the same as the one provided here? This was also discussed a bit ago.

I hadn't seen the first one.  I will review.  The latter I'd seen; there wasn't really a resolution there.  Thanks for the help.

Can you possibly post the dll so we could take a look at it.  Also, can you call the dll from other programming languages?

I know this thread is a bit stale, but wanted to let you know about an option to help with this for the future if it comes up again.  There is a new package on the NI Tools Network that ties into the Tekscan hardware making it very easy to collect data and synchronize it with any other data you take in LabVIEW.
