Hi agyna,

I cannot give you a complete example, but you could find useful informations in this tutorial:

You might also want to look at putting your CVI code into a Function Panel. This has a number of advantages including the ability to document your code and CVI can automatically create the DLL project. Further more LV can then import the FP DLL via the "LabVIEW Instrument Driver Import Wizard (LabVIEW Interface Generator for LabWindows/CVI Instrument Drivers)", see http://lumen.ni.com/nicif/us/gb_infolvinstdriver/content.xhtml. This has the advantage that all the FP documentation is exposed in LV. Please note several odd quirks:

1. Error cluster interface is not supported so you need to look at the wrapper VIs created
2. This tool is not available for LV2010!
