NI-IMAQdx Libraries
The NI-IMAQdx function libraries are dynamic link libraries (DLLs),
which means that NI-IMAQdx routines are not linked into the executable
files of applications. Only the information about the NI-IMAQdx routines
in the NI-IMAQdx import libraries is stored in the executable files.
Import libraries contain information about their DLL-exported functions.
They indicate the presence and location of the DLL routines. Depending
on the development tools you use, you can give the DLL routines
information through import libraries or through function declarations.
Your NI-IMAQdx software contains function prototypes for all routines.
