Fundamentals of Building Applications with NI-IMAQ
The NI-IMAQ Libraries
The NI-IMAQ for Windows 95/NT function libraries are dynamic link
libraries (DLLs), which means that NI-IMAQ routines are not linked into
the executable files of applications. Only the information about the
NI-IMAQ routines in the NI-IMAQ 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 are using, you may give the DLL routines
information through import libraries or through function declarations. Your
NI-IMAQ software kit contains function prototypes for all routines.
