Calling the PDF Chart Creator Dynamic Link Libray from a LabVIEW VI
Note: For detailed information about function usage, parameter and return values please refer to the manual.
To use the PDFChart.dll with LabVIEW requires the use of the Call Library Function Node.
This should be added and configured in your VI with the following common function node settings:
| Library name or path: | PDFChart.dll |
| Calling conventions: | C |
| Function: | Run in UI Thread |
Each individual function should then have the additional configuration applied to the Call Library Function Node
as specified below:
