Calling a C-built DLL in LabVIEW to Generate and Sort an Array of Numbers

This example is designed to illustrate the concept of using external code in LabVIEW. Specifically, this example demonstrates that LabVIEW allows a developer to use the code developed external to LabVIEW. This example contains a LabVIEW program that generates and sorts an array of numbers by calling a C-built DLL using LabVIEW's Call Library Function Node. This example also contains the C source code that the DLL was built from. It contains a .c file and a .prj file that can be build in LabWindows/CVI, as well as a .cpp file and all of the project files necessary to build this in Microsoft Visual C++. If you see a broken arrow when you open the LabVIEW VI, double-click on the Call Library Function Node and relink to the exact path of the DLL.
This example was written in conjunction with the "Can LabVIEW C? - Example 3: Using the Right Tools with LabVIEW" document linked below, which compares C and LabVIEW's functionality.
Requirements:
- LabVIEW 8.0 or later or LabVIEW Evaluation Software is required to view and run the LabVIEW examples.
- Any C compiler is required to view and execute the C code. If you do not have a C compiler, you can download the LabWindows/CVI Evaluation Software to run the C code and to try the premium C environment for measurement and automation applications. At a minimum, the LabWindows/CVI Run Time Engine is required to run the CVI executable.
