I do have one question: Why are you using a CIN? CINs are obsolete technology and should only be used if you have old code that still needs to be supported. For new code you should be using shared libraries.

CINs do not allow to configure the parameter types but always work with LabVIEW native data. A C string is NOT a LabVIEW native datatype so you cannot do what you want to do in a CIN.

There is no problem to do this in a shared library since the Call Library node allows you to configure each individual parameter to pass LabVIEW data either natively or in converted C datatypes.
