How to read .dll files of an instrument driver? What is the programming methodology followed in dll files? I will be grtaeful to you if someone can point me a way to do this.
What exactly do you mean? You call a dll with the Call Library Function Node if it's a C type dll. Instrument drivers as a dll from NI are IVI-C that are created with LabWindows/CVI.
If you can get your hands on the driver dll sdk or source code, you can use Tools --> Import --> Shared Library (.dll)... and use the wizard to easily generate the code you need to implement it.

I have a TDS5000 oscilloscope driver. All the drivers of the scillocope are created using this dll file using call library function node nothing else. I wanted to see what code is written inside that dll file. How can I see what is written inside and is there any way to edit the same? I am very new to this aspect. Please explain me in detail.
I guess as an alternative, you can use VISA to send the commands to the Tekscope.

Please provide the link to the driver that you downloaded.
You would need the source files that were used to create the dll. Then, you would need the development system that was used to create the dll. Do you know what a dll is?
