library a file containing compiled object modules, each comprised of one of more
functions, that can be linked to other object modules that make use of these
functions. NIDAQMSC.LIB is a library that contains NI-DAQ functions.
The NI-DAQ function set is broken down into object modules so that only
the object modules that are relevant to your application are linked in, while
those object modules that are not relevant are not linked.
