Overview

The SMC100 LabVIEW driver allows developing a LabVIEW program for a SMC100
controller in the NSTRUCT environment.
The Newport LabVIEW driver for SMC100 uses the .NET assembly named
Newport.SMC100.CommandInterface.DLL.
The current Newport LabVIEW driver structure has been implemented following the
National Instruments instructions on "Loading .NET ..." as reported in §4.5.1.
The LabVIEW drivers are presents in the "Labview" directory from the selected
instrument directory. Its subfolder named "Dll" contains the needed assemblies' .NET.
1.3

LabVIEW project: Communication DLL location

Refer you to the National Instrument manuals to know how to create a LabVIEW
project.
Copy the "Dll" subfolder in the directory of your LabVIEW project. This is required
step to work.
The .NET assemblies contained in the "dll" subfolder must be presents in your
labVIEW project directory to work.
1.4

LabVIEW application (EXE): Communication DLL Distribution

Refer you to the National Instrument manuals to know how to create an executable from
a LabVIEW project.
After the executable building, copy ALL files from "Dll" subfolder to the "data"
subfolder of your EXE directory. This is required step to make your EXEs run.
The .NET assemblies contained in the "dll" subfolder must be presents in your
EXE application directory to work.
