General Programming Considerations
As you begin developing your Win32 NI-CAN application, remember the
following points:
• For your LabVIEW application, you must use the NI-CAN LabVIEW
functions in
nican.llb.
• For your C/C++ application, you must include the NI-CAN header file,
nican.h, in your source code.
• The NI-CAN software is accessed through the 32-bit DLL,
nican.dll, either by linking with one of the language interfaces
provided with the NI-CAN software, or by using direct DLL entry
from other programming environments.
• Several sample CAN applications are included with the NI-CAN
software. Use these as a guide for your own application development.
For information about developing your application, refer to the NI-CAN
User Manual for Windows 95 and Windows NT. For detailed information
about NI-CAN functions and objects, refer to the NI-CAN Programmer
Reference Manual for Win32.
