LabVIEW.lib or labviewv.lib?

Hello

I'm writing a C++ DLL that interacts with the LabVIEW code, which uses features of LabVIEW Manager. The linked article says I should link against labviewc.lib, but there is another similar library called labview.lib

What is the difference between them? Which should I use?

It's labviewv.lib not labviewc.lib! Generally, you should use labviewv.lib for all new development. It handles better on the right the LabVIEW core binding when you have complex situations such as a DLL LabVIEW (screw of LabVIEW compiled into a DLL) that uses the DLL and when that LabVIEW DLL is called from a LabVIEW system which is a different version of which was used to create the DLL of LabVIEW. With labview.lib, this scenario is very likely create a chaos he is trying to link to the system LabVIEW calling instead of runtime DLL runs under.

  • How to convert the file with VI for LabView .lib to CVI?

    Hello

    I have the .lib file for my lock in the amplifier. The lib file is written for labView and already contains a visual interface (like ActiveX). The point is that I need this file for programming in CVI (8.5). How can I convert a LabView ICB .lib?

    Thank you.

    Denis.

    You said that you had a .lib file and in fact you have an llb file. There is a huge difference between an "i" (eye) and a 'l' (ell).

    There is a LabVIEW Instrument Driver Export Wizard but it's only for new pilots of project lifestyle and you need LabVIEW. There is no other way to convert a LabVIEW driver to a driver of the CVI. If the LabVIEW driver uses methods and properties of the ActiveX, you will need to write the same thing in CVI.

  • LabVIEW Manager (labviewv.lib) target RT Linux support?

    Hello

    I have a cRIO running Linux RT (x 64). I would use a 3 rd-party to a VI RT C++ library. The library has features that are not compatible with the library function node call LabVIEW (for example, functions that accept a C++ string entry). Under Windows, I would create my own wrapper library using LabVIEW Manager functions to perform a conversion between the types of C++ and LabVIEW.

    Is it possible to do the same thing for RT Linux targets? Is there a version of labviewv.lib (32-bit or 64-bit) for Linux targets? (I don't have a Windows development machine)

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You don't need labviewv.lib intall on your linux RT target. Simply develop your application using Labview MAnager on Windows functions and then deploy it on Rt Linux target.

  • construction of DLL error with vc ++ 6.0:error LNK2001: symbol __imp__MessageBoxA@16 unresolved external

    Hello world.

    I am sure that I have included the file labview.lib or labviewv.lib, because the manual says labview 8.0 or new version must include labviewv.lib rather than labview.lib.

    And I also tried to insert extern "c" before the declaration of the function. It does not work.

    What is the problem with that?

    Your labviewv.lib file seems more likely to be corrupt.

    When I take your project and remove the reference to labviewv.lib and instead to modify the project settings to use labviewv.lib in the link settings and by far my path to C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\cintools as additional link directory everything works fine.

    Your labviewv.lib also, the LabVIEW 8.0 to 8.6 mine are all around 450 kB 1.7 MB.

    If it is a legitimate link to LabVIEW 2009 file it may have been created with a version of Visual C and/or options that make it incompatible with the VC 6. Consider that 6 VC is about 10 years old.

  • Connect ALL? inputs and outputs of dll?

    Hello

    I'm having some trouble with the errors of access violation that stops at LabView runtime tests. I found this link http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/7253D2F0D91F68058625752F005AB672 where it says that all entries and exits of the calling node must be connected in order to get any memory access problems. My question is, how to fix this? I see for example that some of the vi that we received from National Instruments is inconsistent, for example DAQmx create .vi or DAQmx channel (void) start Task.vi, pic to see the attachment. Seems reasonable by the explanation given in the link, but strange that it is not followed by some of the vi that I got and I can not change.

    Well, there are several things to consider here. Not all DLLs are the same under the ecoverse of LabVIEW. Usually the C standard is completely not managed (to use a very familiar term to many since .net). This means that anyone holding hands with programmers during the memory allocations and deallocation execution or pass parameters from one component to the other. If the function expects a buffer to write in, the appellant has forgotten to allocate this buffer or attributed, it even smaller than the function byte wants to write, VERY BAD things can and usually will not move.

    In managed environments, there are specific to the appellants contracts and calles for satisfaction. Who's going on who needs to allocate memory and equally important with what memory allocator and a few other things. .NET has a special way of contract managed, but LabVIEW that has too, but not the same as .net.

    With an external DLL, you can have a DLL that is simply written by a C programmer and has its own way of management (generally no, which means the caller is always responsible to return any buffer possble that it passes to a called). But you can also write a DLL that is fully aware of the paradigma managed LabVIEW and knows how to resize a buffer that is passed within a way which is compatible with LabVIEW. These DLLs are linked in the labview.lib import file and make very specific LabVIEW use of Manager functions that are exported by the executable of LabVIEW. Using these functions of Manager of LabVIEW in a very specific way, the DLL is possible to deal directly with the data types native LabVIEW in a way that will not cause LabVIEW go belly upward after the function returns control to LabVIEW. It is not surprising that NEITHER uses in his own support for LabVIEW dll exactly these techniques. Some advantages of performance such as LabVIEW is not to convert data types C standard with a fixed its native data types (and potentially the way to buffer data in case the function may feel tempted to return a megabyte long string in the case of a special condition).

    The downside of such a DLL, it's that it is called from a LabVIEW VI and nothing else, since no other programming environment is native data types in LabVIEW and therefore will not provide the functions of Manager of LabVIEW that could bind to the DLL loading. For this reason, there are very few non - programmers OR who visit the hassle to write DLLs that directly use native data types in LabVIEW for its function parameters.

    With regular DLLS are not specifically written for LabVIEW, the original comment in your link is entirely true.

  • Problem with the help of DLL functions

    Hello.

    I'm writing a DLL that calls the functions of a DLL camera and them ends and passes of LabView. I wrote some code of practice and the dll of passage of functions and events with Labview and LabWindows/CVI DLLs, so I like to think I have a reasonable understanding on what I'm trying to do. However I keep getting errors in calling the functions of DLL functions camera I want to use in my DLL.

    I have two functions in the camera DLL, XC_AddImageFilter, and XC_RemImageFilter, I would like to wrap and put at disposal in my DLL. When I compile I get the following errors:

    2 link project errors, Undefined symbol '_XC_AddImageFilter' referenced in "ImageFilter.c". Undefined symbol '_XC_RemImageFilter' referenced in "ImageFilter.c".

    I tried to tweak the prototypes in my header file and the change in functions but nothing I try seems to work. I connected the camera DLL in my project in a way that was previously successful with another practice DLLs and I browsed this forum for similar problems, but I can't seem to find a soloution.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope that you will be able to help me with my problem.

    PS I had problems to join my code so I put an extension .txt at the end and apparently has worked so please forgive the suspicious file extensions.

  • Missing vi.lib in 2012 LabVIEW Run-Time files

    Hello

    I have a problem running under RT of VI in LabVIEW 2012.

    Our system consists of several independent modules that are open and run from a VI Manager. VI paths to modules are read in a VI Manager .ini file.

    We create a single executable file (RT Launcher) who takes the path of the VI Manager as an argument (attachment: RT Launcher.png).

    The RT Launcher is placed in the... 2012 as the LabVIEW.exe \National Instruments\LabVIEW dossier.

    The RT Launcher is called from the CLI.

    "C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\RT Launcher.exe" "C:\Workspace\Labview\Manager.vi."

    This will run the Manager.vi in the runtime environment and the Manager.vi will open the .ini file and run a Module VI.

    By calling the Launcher.exe RT from the same folder as the LabVIEW.exe, search paths should be the same.

    The system has worked well in LabVIEW 2010.

    The VI Manager opens with a broken arrow and the errors indicate that void vi.lib screws are missing (attachment: errors.png Manager VI)

    I know that there is code LV2010-> LV2011-> LV2012 compiled cache object and separate questions, but simply could not figure out how to get around this problem.

    Can someone explain the difference and how to solve the problem?

    Thank you

    Hi Morten,

    I just sent you an e-mail (before I saw your post) with some other information related to this.

    About the reproduction looks that you have included a palette in your source distribution file (mnu), that will not work (sorry for not seeing this before).

    Could you try to see if it was unintentionally included in your dependendies or whatever it is? The behavior of mnu files is also something that changed from 2010 to 2011, so if you run with the old project of 2010 there could be some bad dependencies. (We recommend always to create a new project when migrating a LabVIEW project to a newer version).

    There is a little more information about the error you see everything by creating the distribution source here:

    How can I include .mnu files in a built LLB?

  • Rescan the folder user.lib w/o restart LabVIEW?

    Does anyone know if there is a way to do this so that the tool palettes are updated if I place a new VI in my user.lib folder?

    I'm in LabVIEW 2009 SP1

    There is a method of the Application class, which updates the pallets. I think it's available publicly, but if not, you should be able to access it by installing the script API.

  • Why labview load screw exe instead of vi.lib?

    Hello

    I have a small but annoying problem.

    My project called an exe that we created using labview. In the project folder, there is the folder "SpectrumAnalyzer' with 'Spectrumanalyzer.exe '. Whenever I open my project, Labview is conflicted on the same screws 4 and wonder would be - it to load them from vi.lib or SpectrumAnalyzer.exe (screenshot attached). Why would he do that? How can I tell labview does not to load the exe witthin screws?

  • East - viable to preduce a cyapi.lib dll that is cmpiled by c ++ that can called by labview?

    Now I'm tring to make a dll with cyapi.lib, so labview can call the function for conneting usb device (cy68013 produced by Cypress company), but I'm not sure that this way is viable.
    This my simple code to translate cyapi.lib to cyapi.dll:
    #include "typedef.h".
    #include "CyAPI.h".
    #pragma comment(lib,"CyAPI.lib")

    CCyUSBDevice * USBDevice = new CCyUSBDevice();

    bool Open_0()
    {

    return USBDevice-> Open (0);   get a funtion that can open device 0
    }
    the link error is the following:

    I think maybe the reason is Ihaven can't initialize all the variable used in the cyapi.lib or there is something wrong in VC development environment.

    Can someone help me?

    If it is compiled with c#, then it is a .NET assembly. To use it, you simply use the .NET features in LabVIEW. You should have received a few examples of programs with it. Essentially, you need to do the same thing that made the example program, but you use LabVIEW .NET to do. There is with LabVIEW provided examples on how to use .NET. In most cases, it is easier to use than to try to call a DLL 'normal '.

  • Engine run LabVIEW does not support vi.lib

However when I change to the execution environment Labview 8.2 all vi that exist in the vi.lib (which is part of the development system) could not be found by the runtime of labview 8.2. How can I use the runtime engine and access the vi that are in the vi.lib. I tried to register the library using the hierarchy, but that does not save the screw of vi.lib
