Create dll for use in Labview

[adriano08]

Hi guys,

Basically I have got the library file (.c & .h) which the main.c. will be using.   

How can i create a dll file from Labwindows 2013 that can be use in Labview?

Thanks.

Hello adriano08!

Yes, it's possible to create LabWindows/CVI DLL and call it from LabVIEW, using the Call Library Node.

Here are some references for you to start:

Best regards!

Haven't done it for a while but putting your code into a Function Panel and creating a DLL is a very simply way forward. The Function Panel can then be imported directly into LabVIEW. You would have to investigate how this is all done as it has changed since I last did it.
