Hello community,
I am trying to connect a Bertec force plate to labview using the .NET interface.
This involves loading "BertecDeviceNET.dll" into labview. This DLL comes from the Bertec website, and downloading the most recent "Bertec Device SDK" from May 2014.
I know this is possible, as it has been done before. See these posts:

I've tried following the solutions listed, and feel optimistic about things. Except I can't seem to be able to load the .NET DLL into labview. It keeps telling me "An error occurred trying to load the assembly" and then I can't proceed.
I am using the 32-bit version of the DLL, and the 32-bit version of Labview 2017. The DLL is in the same local folder as the labview VI. I've tried loading it into Labview 2015, and 2016, both 32 and 64 bit versions (the Bertec SDK has 64 bit versions as well). But no luck.
I'm not sure what to do next. It might be that Bertec's DLL is just bad, but I'd be surprised Bertec didn't catch that yet, as the SDK was released in 2014.
Is anyone else able to load the DLL? If so, what am I doing wrong?
