Thermotron 8800 control using LabWindows/CVI 2017

[WeMul12]

I am writing some code to control a Thermotron 8800 controller from LabWindows/CVI 2017. In the past I have used a "TH8800" driver from NI/Thermotron. When I search through the Thermotron website it seems like the only NI drivers available are LabVIEW.

When I try using the older "TH8800" drivers, I cannot compile because they rely on the old "cvirt.dll" that is no longer supported in CVI 2017.

Does anyone know of a recent Thermotron driver for the 8800 that compiles in CVI 2017? They provide C++ "drivers", but these do not have a function library but rather just show how to communicate over TCP with custom strings based on the protocol defined in the users manual.  

Or does anyone know where I can download "cvirt.dll" to try the fix listed here:

Many thanks!

Hello,

I do not know if that file can be found anywhere on NI site, but you can find attached a copy of it found on my machine for you to try.

This seems to allow me to compile and run with the old drivers. thanks!!

cvirt.dll war removed from CVI installer but it is available for download at http://www.ni.com/download/labwindowscvi-run-time-engine-2017/7888/en/
