Good day,

We are building a digital acquisition board for physical experiments. I am at
point where I need to talk to the board via BlackBox. We are using and FX2LP
Cypress USB chip. With the chip the company provided a CyApi.lib static library
and a header file with all the function calls, available in two versions Visual
C++ 6&7 and Bodland C++ Builder 6.

I am looking for an efficient way to make use of the CyApi.lib and CyApi.h files
to call the functions from blackbox. Can you help me?

I am thinking of writting a wrapper first in C++ and compiling a DLL out of it
and then write another wrapper in BlackBox. But since I am not a fan of C++ and
I don't know much about it, I hope there is a less complex way of reaching the
goal.

Thank you for your time,
With regards,
Eryk Druszkiewicz
