You can generate a C API for a LabVIEW FPGA application from:
  • The LabVIEW Project Explorer window
  • The Windows Start menu
  • Windows command line

The generated C API consists of the files needed to build and run a C/C++ application.

The FPGA Interface C API Generator works only on .lvbitx files created with LabVIEW 2009 or later. It does not work on .lvbit files created with older versions of LabVIEW, or on .lvbitx files created with the pioneer NI Labs version of the FPGA Interface C API.
