Using a device handle returned from CVI on LabVIEW

Hi,

I made some DLLs (some time ago) with LabWindowsCVI and I call them on TestStand.

Now I want to make a TestStand user interface on LabVIEW.

My problem is the following:

 - I inicialize some cards like NI4461, NI4065, CAN, FPGA with my DLLs; the DLLs return a device handle when I inicialize them on CVI; any operation I make on those cards I have to use that device handle;

 - Is it possible to inicialize a device on CVI and use the returned handle to operate that device on LabVIEW?

 

Normally I use the DLL to do everything, but now I want to use the same device on LabVIEW to do other things that my DLL isn't able.

 

Hope I was clear enough.

I apreciate all the help.

Thanks in advance for any answer.

Hello,

 

You can initialize your boards with LabVIEW, or effectively you can use a dll (create with CVI) in order to initialize your board, but i think that it will be easier with LabVIEW, so i advice you to initialize your board with LabVIEW.

 

Regards,
