Use NI DataPlugin in Visual Studio

Updated Sep 28, 2023

Software

  • LabVIEW DataPlugin SDK

Issue Details

I have created DataPlugin (.uri) file with LabVIEW software to read the binary file. Once DataPlugin is registered, I can see my test file data using DIAdem software. May I know if it is possible to use the DataPlugin that I have created in Visual Studio?

Solution

Currently, there is no way to use DataPlugin alone outside DIAdem, DataFinder or LabVIEW.

The workaround that you can explore is use LabVIEW to build a library (DLL) to do the conversion and use this library from your C++ project to read the binary file, you can refer to Generate a Shared Library From a LabVIEW Project to get started. You might need to install the LabVIEW runtime engine to use the LabVIEW DLL.
