convert .cpp to .vi

[bryanlim]

Hi,

          Is there a way to convert written text-based codes like .cpp into .vi?

Thanks.

CIN Help

You can use Code Interface Node in LabVIEW to use cpp code in LabVIEW.

You cannot convert a .cpp file into a VI. There are two possible ways in which you can call external code in LabVIEW.

- You could use Code Interface Nodes (CINs) to access algorithms written in another language. You will need to follow some steps to create a CIN.

Example: Refer to the Multiply using a CIN VI in the labview\examples\cins\mult

- The other common and most used method is to create DLLs in the programming environment and then call those DLLs in LabVIEW using the Call Library Function Node.

Example: Refer to the Call DLL VI in the labview\examples\dll\data passing\Call Native Code.llb

If you have any questions, be sure to search on the NI website or post back.

Hi Mathan,

                 I have written a programme in C++. I am thinking of creating a GUI for this programme using Labview. I have done previously using Visual C++. I would like to know how I can do it using Labview.

Thanks.
