CINs

Call Library Function Node

CINs

The LabVIEW Code Interface Node (CIN) is a block diagram node that links C/C++ source code to LabVIEW. Use the CIN as an alternative to using the Call Library Function Node for calling source code written in C.

Note  It is technically possible to write CINs in a language other than C or C++ if the CIN entry points, such as CINRun, CINLoad, and so on, are declared as extern "C". However, National Instruments recommends using a shared library rather than a CIN if you want to use a language other than C or C++. LabVIEW does not support the creation of external subroutines. If you want to share code among multiple CINs, use DLLs.
