call dll driver in labview exe

I have an instrument driver in LabVIEW.  The driver still functions call a DLL in instr.lib through the call library function.  When I compile an exe file that uses the driver functions, where should I put this DLL?  He would be allowed to compile the DLL in the exe?  If it's ok, how it works, because the driver get the DLL in instr.lib?  Thank you!

You can not choose the exe as a destination of the DLL. Yes, the DLLS are located in the folder data.

  • Call dll ActiveX in Labview

    Hello

    I'm a new starter in c# .net.  I have a control dll ActiveX (control of vision of NOR -> CWIMAQ). I need to call dll functions in Labview. I searched for articles on this subject. Everyone talks about single thread and register the dll.  I have no idea about these things. Can any body give me a helping hand. How does it work?

    Thanks for any info

    Best regards.

    To use an ActiveX control in LabVIEW, you place an ActiveX container on the front panel and locate the control to put it in. Then use the nodes property and/or call nodes of the ActiveX palette to set properties and call methods.

    To register a DLL open a command prompt, navigate to the folder where your ActiveX control is normally the Windows system32 folder and type

    regsvr32 .

    In LabVIEW use help > type in the search and find examples... tab ActiveX.

  • Efficiency call DLLS in Labview

    Hello

    I'm working on a labview program for the treatment of the data in real time.  Thus, code running efficiency will be critical.  I wonder how about the cost of calling DLLs.  Similarly, what the call cost of the subprogrammes.

    To implement the same function, the call of a Subvi will be faster than calling a DLL?

    If I can develop all screws Sub in the main program and delete all the calls, which will be much faster?

    Can someone give me any clue or guideline?

    Thank you.

    What is the OS you are using?

    Since you ask in general, I answer in general:

    This question cannot be ansered. This is a case-by-case-thing and must be assessed individually.

    Most of the effect will be the memory management: which allocates the amount of memory? When it's done?

    Memory of ESP. allocation mess up determinism, if a DLL can perform worse than pure code LV (given a BONE of RT LV). But it might be preferable for some algorithms encapsulated... no one can say in general.

    Perhaps the most important question is:

    How many times is that the code (DLL vs Sub - VI) called and how short is its runtime? If the load of execution: calling code relationship is very low (-online 1:1), it is best to "solve" the subcode. SubVI Inling is a valid way in pure BT (from 2010).

    If the code is called rarely, this whole discussion is somehow obsolete as the overload of calls will be negligible, even if it would be quite high...

    And no, C is not faster as LV by definition. It also depends on the task and how you implement it...

    hope this helps,

  • Error 1097 when calling DLLS in LabView

    I get an error 1097 when calling the LabVIEW provider library. Curiously, the error, the DLL routines still seem to do what is asked of them.  This is the test code.  It opens an Ethernet connection to a controller of axes Galil, he asks (possibly) the value of its internal clock, and then closes the connection.  Each call library function returns error 1097 but "valve function" I32 error number is always zero. Open function causes the connection to be opened, the command function causes the send command and receives a reasonable answer, narrow funtion seems to cause the connection to be closed.

    Here is what I see when I run the test:

    Also directly configure call-library functions, as I did in this VI, I also tried using the import-shared-library Wizard to create a vilib of functions of the DLL and I get the same behavior and errors when I use these functions.  I tried to tweak some of the data types in my configured manually call library functions to see if I could find a combination that worked better with the library, but had no luck there.

    I use the x 86 version of the DLL with v2014 LabVIEW 32-bit on a 64 bit windows system 7.  I see that the error on the two computer systems of different work configured in this way. I see a similar error on a home computer with just the RTE of 2014 installed. The manufacturer says they can not reproduce the error. I always saw the error over multiple versions of their library DLL.

    In the attachment ZIP it has a link to the DLL library on the manufacturer's website. There is also a copy of the VI, the DLL and a large part of how-to-use documentation that accompanies the DLL.

    I was hoping that someone who was familiar with the use of the call-library function might take a peek at what I do and see if an error could be spotted.

    Unable to find an error, I did, I would be happy to suggestions on how I could solve this. Little seems to me like there may be a problem with the library. The manufacturer, Galil, said that they have opened a log with OR to see if NEITHER could help but since Galil said they can not reproduce the problem and provide an example of the NC, it really went anywhere.

    Given the decoration of symbol names as exported by the DLL I "m convinced that you must change the stdcall calling convention.

  • LabView crashes after calling DLL

    Hello

    I'm working on a library that makes calls to the other dll, which is linked dynamically.

    I have to do this, customize the DLL search order before the call and add a few custom directories (where are the dll called).

    The called code works very well, and doesn´t in the DLL called memory leak, however LabView is suspended.

    It took me a long time to understand this, so I hope this helps someone in the future. Below is the solution.

    LabView uses its own research agenda DLL, so beware of assistance call "SetDefaultDllDirectories" regarding the whole process and LabView DLL management function will burst.

    Allways avoid using flags in the LoadLibraryEx.

  • Call the function in LabView from a DLL, and then access the global variable of DLL

    I've created a DLL in LabWindows with a function and structure.  I want to call the function from LabView and then access the overall structure.  I am able to call the function in the DLL with a "call library function node" and has access to the return value, but I can't understand how to access the overall structure.  The structure is declared in the header DLL with __declspec (dllimport) struct parameters file.

    Is it possible to access this structure without using the library of network variables?

    My guess is that you need two bytes of padding after "in_out" and another to two bytes of padding after "anin."  The reason being that ints are 4 bytes, and most of them C compilers will align on 4-byte boundaries.  The struct will naturally start to such a limit (in fact, in Windows, it will probably start to an 8 byte boundary).  If you then count bytes in your structure, you are 70 byte after "in_out."  70 is not divisible by 4, so you need 2 bytes more to reach the next 4 byte boundary.  You can also you could reorganize your struct so that "anin" follows "in_out" and this is probably the best option if it won't cause you other problems.

    Unlike most C compilers, LabVIEW compressed structures as closely as possible, without filling.  I don't know enough about the history of LabVIEW and internal parts to explain the reasons and to do this performance penalty, but, as choice of LabVIEW "endianness", it is probably a remnant of the first versions of LabVIEW that were running on the Mac.

    If for some reason you want to force your C struct to match package LabVIEW, you can use the #pragma pack (x) directive, but I wouldn't recommend that here because you can control the C and LabVIEW.

    EDIT: in the cases where it was not clear, add padding to your cluster of LabVIEW, insert appropriate size or items at the place desired in the cluster.

  • Call a dll built with Labview in Digital Micrograph

    Hello everyone,

    I am faced with a difficult problem. I use Digital Micrograph that run the DLL of enforcement. This DLL must be built with a structure of library written in C. In this C code, I can call a built with Labview VI. If the Vi is simple, Digital Micrograph is happy. But, if I include a graph in the VI, C code builds and create a dll but Digital Micrograph falls down. Of course, DM is unclear the type Labview graph. I can do what I want in my VI and how can I solve the problem?

    Thank you.

  • Application Builder «Browse to LabVIEW.exe» error

    LabVIEW gurus...

    I'm currently building a standalone version of my project.  When I run the application (which is built successfully), LabVIEW makes me search the LabVIEW.exe file.  However, I want this application to run on a computer that will not have installed LabVIEW, and looking up if this file is not an option.

    I know that the reason for this problem is that I use 2 named StrLen and MoveBlock within the library LabVIEW.exe call library functions (to access data from a pointer to a pointer).

    LabVIEW.exe presents itself as one of the dependencies in my project, but I can't understand how to add it to my specifications of generation.  I tried to build a Setup program and include the LabVIEW runtime environment, but this does not work either.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm using LabVIEW 8.6.

    Thank you

    Jason

    In the call to the dll just type LabVIEW without any path. This should work (I used it on 7.1) to automagicallylink it.

    The functions are also in the lvrt.dll which is the main part of the runtime engine.

  • call dll issue

    Hello

    now I need to call a dll named SajetConnect.dll, this dll will create logfile and ini file automatically when I call.

    Attached VI call this dll, there is no log file and ini file created, but the exe file that I'm building this VI work well for her.

    I also call thie dll using c# and it still work fine.

    So it seems that some path setting question went from me, thanks for your help to take a look for my trouble, thank you!

    New Folder\123\Application.exe create JOURNAL SAJET. INI SajetConnect.ini when you run this exe to call DLLs

    Without seeing the source code of the DLL there is very little we can do, but shooting in blue. And I have no balls to spare in this at the moment, except maybe the DLL tries to create these files in the directory where the executable. This would be the directory where the labview.exe deveopment environment. But given that Windows Vista users don't have write access to this directory more. Some features of the INI file are virtualized in these versions of Windows and redirected to a specific shade of the user location, but only if your application uses files INI of Windows API functions. Otherwise write access fails just and you won't see them unless you manage these errors in some way and proceed to the appellant.

  • can I create a DLL file for labview that has DLL library with inside?

    Hello everyone,

    I am developing an application for the cards PCI devicenet in labview (beginner to labview) environment.  Is there a DLL file for the PCI card from the provider. But it's too complicated for a beginner to call each function in the DLL of labview. Therefore, I'm trying to re - use a VC ++ program (working properly) that calls some sellers DLL library functions.    To do this, I created the DLL file which includes all headers and libraries the provider DLL, as indicated in the attached figure. But I couln can't see the effect on the device. is it possible to create a DLL file for labview that has DLL library with inside? If this is not the case, how can I implement the program shown in figure?

    I would like to wish a huge as to advance.

    It is not something I have a lot of experience in so I don't know all the details of the restrictions or requirements etc - but it is certainly possible to create wrappers for the dll and then use them in LabVIEW - this is sometimes necessary to convert some native types/data structures in C/C++ into something that you can switch to your other DLL LabVIEW.

  • How to set programmatically a LabVIEW exe * Windows * priority?

    I have an executable of LabVIEW that makes data acquisition to 10 kHz on an ongoing basis and under certain conditions of dumps of these data to a CSV file that is viewable in Excel.  We noticed if the file becomes unusually large and someone tries to open this file so that DAQ'ing is always in course (but does not connect), Excel will monopolize the CPU long enough such that the exe of LabVIEW does not have enough time CPU to extract data from data acquisition until the data in its circular buffer gets replaced.  I could try to simply increase the size of the buffer DAQ, but really, the solution is to have this executable LabVIEW have "priority" over other executables non-LabVIEW (such as Excel.)    Looking at properties VI--> execution--> set the priority seems to only define the priority between other threads LabVIEW but says nothing about how a thread LabVIEW is prioritized to another non-LabVIEW exe.   I have confirmed this by setting the LabVIEW execution property to 'critical moment' and then in the Task Manager and windows reports still his priority as "normal".   How can I set the * Windows * priority of an executable of LabVIEW without having to do it manually via the Task Manager?

    Thank you

    Ninja Edit:

    I should mention that I am building the executable is nothing else than a "master GUI" which generates four LabVIEW modules in sub-panels using static VI refs and displays important data from these four modules persistent "dashboard".   Modules to do all the boring tasks such as DAQ'ing and display data in charts.  Because I am compiling my code in a single executable using the GUI 'master' as the boot VI, set the priority in properties of VI flow down to the modules I load in sub-panels or will only the priority of the Master GUI be changed?  On a related note, should I set four enforcement system 'Data acquisition' modules, then the master GUI to ' User Interface?

    You can try calling the next VI. It sets the priority for the current process and has worked for me in the past on XP.

  • Can we call library user directly labview vi in teststand?

    Hello

    I'm calling one of the libraries of the labview teststand user directly. I get errors when running (Catpure.png attachment).

    If I create labview file and use this library vi in labview with same entries that then use this labview in teststand, and teststand is happy (capture2.png, capture3.png).

    I would like to know if I can call library user directly labview vis in teststand or should have create my own vi call this lib from there? Can someone let me know?

    Kind regards

    Hema

    Hi Hema,

    In general, screw calling for a Bachelor's degree in LAW (LabVIEW library) TestStand works very well. I have attached a sequence that makes calls to a VI in a Bachelor's degree in LAW and a VI out of one. This works as expected.

    The error you get is probably the result of another problem. Please add more details about the error, the versions TestStand and LabVIEW, you use and if you have set the LabVIEW LabVIEW RunTimeEngine adapter or LabVIEW Development System.

    PS: The image you attached shows the setting for the call of VI step and it seems to be loading fine (no provider indicating a loading error error). If the step throws an error only when executed, then attach a snapshot of the error dialog box that is displayed or the report that has the details of the error.
