Example Code: Calling a LabVIEW DLL from C
This example demonstrates the best way to build LabVIEW DLLs that accept complex cluster parameters as well as ways to call the DLLs from LabWindows/CVI.
Download this example.

Example Code: Using VISA to Access the Parallel Port in LabVIEW
This example uses virtual instrumentation software architecture (VISA) to write data to the parallel port. When using the parallel port, pins 2 through 9 are data pins with pin 9 being the most significant bit. Also, pins 11 (printer busy) and 12 (printer out of paper) must be grounded to transmit data.
