    Hi everyone,

    We’re trying to interface the BB60 with LabVIEW, but we’re facing an issue where the api.dll file is not executing properly. We’ve successfully interfaced the VSG60 using the provided libraries and had no issues there. However, with the BB60, LabVIEW throws a DLL error related to api.dll.

    I’ve attached a screenshot of the error for reference.
    Has anyone else run into this issue or know how to fix it?

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance.

    Are you trying to use a 32-bit API with a 64-bit version of Labview?

    I just tried it with LV64-bit 2020. Similar errors you show. Followed their instructions and seems fine.

    2.2.3.2 Windows with 64-bit Labview
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2016\instr.lib
    In the Signal Hound driver folder, you will need to rename the 64-bit DLL and either delete or rename the 32-bit DLL.
    For example, for the BB series, rename bb_api.dll to bb_api-32.dll, and rename bb_api-64.dll to bb_api.dll.
