How to create a LabView driver with the Labview Instrument Driver Import Wizard without the Function Panel (.fp) file?

[Totov]

Hello,

Is it possible to create a LabView driver with the Labview Instrument Driver Import Wizard without the Function Panel (.fp) file?

I have .dll, .h and .lib files from the manufacturer off the device.

No! But you can maybe use the .DLL and .H file to import the DLL with the Shared Library Import Wizard. This can be a little more tricky as the header file alone doesn't always give enough information for LabVIEW to properly create interface VIs for the DLL. It really depends and a bit of C programming knowledge never hurts when going this path.

The .LIB file has no meaning at all in combination with LabVIEW. That is only needed when you want to use the DLL in a C/C++ program.
