/*
The purpose of this program is to call a Dll created by LabVIEW in C.  This is designed
to show you that LabVIEW can be useful even if you are forced to use it from another
development enviornment.  This program calls three functions from the LV_AAP.dll.
These functions are Aqcuire, Analyze, and Present.  These functions emphasize three
of LabVIEW's signature strengths, which include acquiring data, analyzing data, and
presenting the data on a state of the art GUI.   
*/

/*
The following three headers do not need to be included for this application, but may be 
necessary when calling some LabVIEW dll's depending upon the data types passed and the 
features used.  They can be found at the following directory:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5\cintools 
for LabVIEW 8.5. 

#include "platdefines.h"  
#include "fundtypes.h"  
#include "extcode.h"  //extcode.h IS included in LV_AAP.h

The main VI walks the user through calling three LabVIEW functions from a LabVIEW dll.
Each function was created as a seperate LabVIEW VI and then the VI's were built together
as a DLL.  To rebuild the dll, simply choose "Tools->Build Shared Library" from 
LabVIEW and then load the attached build script (.bld file).
