Hello.
I am new using and programming the exi board 1553 and I would like to use it with C++ using Eclipse, I want to know if there is any possibility to use the drivers without use LabView or Labwindows and how to do it.
If there is any manual or example which could guide me , could someone give me it?
Thank you, kind regards.

Hi adamatic:
drivers for LabVIEW and Labwindow/CVI is based on dll that are called from these computer language. I could be possible to use these dll with any other language but you will need the .h file or at least, the name of the functions.

In CVI, functions are programmed in ANSI C, so I will suppose it will be easier for you use CVI drivers
Other option is create a dll in LabVIEW and use it in Eclipse. You can generate a dll file and a lib file based on LabVIEW Vis, so you can generate a DLL with all Vis that compose the card driver for LabVIEW.
See "Shared Library (DLL) Provider" in this link:

In addition, you can find more information looking for this topic in the LabVIEW Help.
