Using the intrepidcs API in Visual C++ - intrepidcs API

Setup - Example

To use neoVI in Visual C++:

1. Start your new project and add the Dynamic link helper files to your project.

2. Add a #include “icsneo40DLLAPI.h” to your project

   

   Figure 1 - Link to the “icsnVC40.lib”

3. Use the Functions “LoadDLLAPI” to load the functions and “UnloadDLLAPI” to unload the functions. Examples are below.

 HINSTANCE hDLL;

 //-----Load the DLL
 if(!LoadDLLAPI(hDLL))
 {
 //problem, close the application

 printf("Problem loading Library\r\nMake sure icsneo40.dll is installed and accessable\r\nPress any key to Exit");

 }

 //-----Unload the DLL

 UnloadDLLAPI(hDLL);

4. Finally, call the methods as defined in the Basic Operation document.

A Visual C++ example (Figure 1) is included to show how the API all works together. The example files are included in the following file: VCNewneoVI.zip

The example shows how to open and close communication to the driver, send messages and read messages on the networks.
