I am currently doing a project about designing standalone data acquisition module with USB 2.0 interface.
For the hardware, a USB FIFO chip(FT245BM) is used to communicate with PC via USB with the driver DLL provided by the manufacturer (FTDI). I want to use labview (version 7.0)to develop a data logging software and I learned that the functions in the DLL could be called by the 'library call function node' in labview. My question is: 1.Apart from labview, do I need to intall Measurement and Automation Exploere to configure the hardware before I use it in the labview? 2. I noticed that the type of call in labview should be configured as either 'c' or 'stdcall'. My knowledge about C/C++ is poor, could someone explain them in detail and which one shall I choose? 3.I heard that not all the DLLs could be used in labview (due to the problem of different format???). I don't quite understand about this. Could anyone be kind to explain about this as well? Many thanks!!!
