Install DPlot or DPlot junior.
1) Look into the files in ../dplotlib/c/ under DPlot installation folder. Open the header file "DPLOT.H" and comment out the very last #else -- #endif section where it re-defines the DPlot function names. This section somehow can cause compiling errors in CVI. Save this file in your own CVI project folder. (I also rename the file to DPlotLib.h) You must include this header file in your CVI codes. The corresponding DLL file "DPLOTLIB.DLL" can be found in ../dplotlib/ under DPlot installation folder. Copy this file into your own CVI project folder. You need the DLL file to compile and execute the final program.
2) In your own CVI project folder, create a sub folder "Data" and copy the attached data files (txt format, unzip them first) into it.
3) Copy the attached c codes and uir file into your own CVI project folder and create a new project to test DPlot. Run your CVI project.
4) Click "Create One Plot" button and you'll see DPlot creates a graph from the data and save the graph automatically.
5) Click "Create Multiple Plots" button and you'll see DPlot creates multiple graphs from the data without saving the graphs.
You should be able to see how I use CVI to call DPlot and create data graphs automatically. Main section of the codes are modified from the CTEST.c provided in the original DPlot folder. Cheers!
