Using LabView drivers with LabWindows

[dnachick]

Hi.

I'm planning on using LabWindows to operate a progRes camera, which states they have labview drivers. I'm assuming that labview drivers will work with LabWindows, but just thought I'd ask if that's a valid assumption. (I've never used either program before)

Typically, when a piece of harwdware says it had LabVIEW drivers, this means that it has utlity or accessibility functions for LabVIEW. As LabVIEW is its own language, and LabWindows is a C editor/compiler, LabVIEW functions or .vi's will not inherently work in LabWindows/CVI.

While it is definitely possible to call LabVIEW code from LabWindows/CVI, you will most likely want to see if there is a C interface for the hardware from LabWindows/CVI.

Hope this helps.
