Hi

                I am a student doing my project, I am new in LabVIEW.As part of my project I need to interface a stepper motor for 3 axis movement, the 3 axis movements is controlled by a micro position controller, and i don’t know which micro controller is used in it, along with this I got  a software for 3 axis movement and its source code in Visual C++  and also they provided the assembly language of controller.I need to done this procedures from LabVIEW window how it is possible. I am using LabVIEW7.0

Thanks in advance

Do you want to call it in labVIEW or convert it to lv code?

[dayaneeshya]

I need to call it in labview,  the software codings are  6 different visual c++ program,  i have a visual studio 6. and working in LabVIEW7.0

LabVIEW can call DLLs. Thus, you could compile the C code into a DLL. My suspicion, however, is that the C code you have is probably written to be an application. This means you would need to take the relevant parts (i.e., the basic functions) and compile that into a DLL that you can call from LabVIEW. More information on calling DLLs from LabVIEW can be found in the LabVIEW Help, as well as Knowledge Base articles (just do a search on calling a DLL from LabVIEW). Examples also ship with LabVIEW.

Hi

You can use LabVIEW ".NET" connectivity for this purpose. After getting the source code, use the ".net" constructor node and property/invoke nodes to access the source code from LabVIEW.

I'm attaching an example program for your help (for LabVIEW 7.0) 

thanks,

Ravi.
