Hi Roger,

Thanks for the hint to saveComment - I'll keep that in mind! And the progress is exciting.
Regarding the VisualStudio Version, I believe that it requires a specific version. But all I can say for sure is that in the past, I have successfully compiled a dll on Visual Studio 2008 x32, running on Win 7 x64, and used it with LabView 2012, x32.
Maybe this link will help you find more information on the matter: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A6705FEC7EA42300862567B70054206E
Oh, and there are x32 as well as x64 versions of LabView. The dlls to use have to be compiled for the corresponding architecture. Which is probably obvious to you but sometimes it does get me into trouble finding something that works for x64.

Best, Heinrich
