As you begin developing your Win32 NI-CAN application, remember the 
following points:

•

For your LabVIEW application, you must use the NI-CAN LabVIEW 
functions in 

nican.llb

. 

•

For your C/C++ application, you must include the NI-CAN header file, 

nican.h

, in your source code. 

•

The NI-CAN software is accessed through the 32-bit DLL, 

nican.dll

, either by linking with one of the language interfaces 

provided with the NI-CAN software, or by using direct DLL entry 
from other programming environments.

•

Several sample CAN applications are included with the NI-CAN 
software. Use these as a guide for your own application development.

For information about developing your application, refer to the NI-CAN 
User Manual for Windows 95 and Windows NT. For detailed information 
about NI-CAN functions and objects, refer to the NI-CAN Programmer 
Reference Manual for Win32.
