[Sneap] Group3

[Brett Longworth]

Hi Bret,

I'm guessing you updated LabVIEW and that required the new LC driver. We 
had similar issues when upgrading the LC driver and Group3 library. We 
were running an older, but nicer driver library from VISystems, and our 
code did not work with the newer Group3 driver. We ended up writing a 
set of wrappers for the newer library that made it look like the 
VIsystems driver to our code.

You should be able to get both a working LC driver and labview group3 
library from GMW. I couldn't find it on their site, so you may have to 
give them a call. If you need a hand getting your code working with the 
new driver, let me know and I can send you the stuff I've written.
