Using NI-SWITCH in LabWindows/CVI

This topic assumes that you are using the LabWindows/CVI ADE to manage your code development and that you are familiar with the ADE.

To develop an NI-SWITCH application in LabWindows/CVI, follow these general steps:

1. Open an existing or new project file.
2. Load the NI-SWITCH function panel at IVI\Drivers\NISWITCH.
3. Use the function panel to navigate the function hierarchy and to generate function calls with the proper syntax and variable values.

Note  CVI 6.0 and earlier uses the header and .lib files in the \VXIpnp directories instead of IVI\ directories.

Example Programs

For more information about NI-SWITCH examples, refer to Examples.

Note  CVI 6.0 and earlier users must use the example project files titled with a "6" suffix.
