• The DLL call fails when DLL uses a wide range

  I call a C++ dll in LabVIEW 32-bit on Windows 7. I kept getting error 1097 and finally understood it is because the dll uses two large paintings of 5 MB each. The tables are initialized in the constructor of an object, malloc is not used, or whatever it is. If I do the smaller berries, then everything works fine.

  The problem is not difficult to work around, now that I know what is the cause, but can someone tell me why a dll using a lot of memory would be a problem? I feel that 10 MB is really a lot of memory to use on modern computers.

  OK, you can test the appeal of the DLL in a Visual Studio test harness?

  In addition, in case you haven't seen another 'DLL error 1097' son type, here are a few. The cause of 1097 in your case can be illuminated by a multitude of courses of troubleshooting:

  Call dll error 1097

  Error code coming 1097 in DLL call

  error 1097 after the call dll function that allocates memory inside

  1097 error in the transition from table from C++ DLL for LabView (seems very relevant, although long)

  I know there are a lot of reading, but there is a good chance that the magic trick is in one of these threads already. We will ride on the shoulders of their work.

• LabVIEW dll call struct complex

  Hello

  I'm just creating a LabVIEW library for a Dll driver. The Dll contains complex structures. I just want to know if I can get around creating a wrapper Dll for these calls.

  It is an example of a function call:

  Error AA_querySlaveInfo (handle hSlave, SlaveInfo * pSlaveInfo,)

  int flags);

  typedef struct {}
  vendorId int;
  int productId;
  review of int;
  int series;
  const char * group;
  const char * image;
  const char * order;
  const char * name;
  int objCount;
  DataObjInfo * objs [1];
  } SlaveInfo;

  typedef struct {}
  the type of object int;
  const char * name;
  int bitLength;
  } DataObjInfo;

  Aid is quite aprechiated.

  Thank you

  Hi Keppi,

  This is not possible, sorry. Without the last entry in the struct that it would work, but this pointer to the another struct... you'll need a wrapper for it!

  I hope this helps,

• Error code coming 1097 in DLL call

  Hello

  I get the error code 1097 in the DLL function call. Please find the DLL by calling the function for more information.

  Function: GetControllerListTest (Controller * ptrControllertest, char * max_controller);

   

  Parameter Controllertest details:

  set NO_OF_CONTROLLER 100
  #ifndef CONTROLLER_STRUCT
  typedef struct
  {
  CString name;
  status of tank;
  CString blocked_by;
  Char group;
  } controller;

   

  Data type for the parameter Controllertest is structure. In LabVIEW, I configured the parameter as a cluster.

  name: line control

  status: complete control U8

  blocked_by: control string

  Group: entire control U8

  Could you please confirm it, did I set up the type of data in a correct way?

  I'm getting output empty table and the error Code of the DLL 1097. Can you please tell me where I am missing?

  Thank you

  What type "CString" defined?

  If it's a C++ type, as defined here, then you can not call this function directly from LabVIEW because LabVIEW can not pass of C++ types.  In this case, you will need to write a wrapper (in Visual Studio or another C++ programming environment) which takes a string (character array) standard C as an input, creates a CString from her and calls GetControllerListTest.

  If CString is defined as a fixed-length character array, then you need to replace the strings of LabVIEW with clusters of U8 containing a number of elements equal to the string length (LabVIEW does not support arrays of fixed length).

  If CString is defined as a pointer to a character array, you can pass the data to LabVIEW, but you must call the memory manager of LabVIEW functions to allocate memory for the string data and copy it.

• Nican.dll call python questions

  Hi all

  I have a feeling that this issue will be left without an answer, but I'll ask anyway.

  For a project, I need to use Python2.7 to receive frames from a bus.  What I have to do is monitor CAN all traffic on the bus, I have to send frames.  I searched (and searched and searched) for some sort of solution to this, but have found none.  Here's the code I have so far:

• In the c# dll call problem

  Hello

  I am new to c#, but I have to write DLLs to LabVIEW that reads the information on windows processes. I prepared the code (work as a Win32 application), it built as a dll and call the library function to call it. I tried another code in C language before and it worked fine. But when I do the same with c#, I have an error in LabVIEW:

  "The name of the function specified for this node is not found in the library. Click the node to call a library function and select Configure, and then choose the name of the correct function. »

  The function I created (I've pasted below this post) a functioning but LabVIEW does not see. Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? I couldn't find a tutorial for c# and LabVIEW, I saw some for c# and I it should work.

  Hi Nathan,

  Thanks for the reply. I'm new to c#... I don't know I tried to:

  1 / create DLLs with Visual Studio Command Prompt (32 and 64). I used this command:

  csc/target: library / out: GetProcessDataLib64.DLL GetProcessData.cs

  2 / create DLLs to be taken automatically during construction.

  CSC is the compiler C Sharp and will create a default .net assembly, not a Windows DLL function. If you need to use the .net features in LabVIEW to access. And in any case this source code you can not create a Windows DLL function directly since there is no exportable function in there, but only the .net objects.

  And Nathan, C(++/#) compilers do not create header for the dll files. These header files must be created by the programmer creates the source code of the DLL.

• problems in C++ dll call

  Hi, I compiled a dll in C++ to write data in a shared data segment, and it works well in Labview. Then I try to call the Dll in C++, it can be built successfully, but will break in the end. I have this problem since almost a whole day and could not find the solution.

  Here are the source files for my Dll and the program calling dynamically.

  DLL:

  

  Calling program.

  

  Problem solved.  The work for Labview and C++ dll must be like that. The shared data segment must also be declared as funtion and with 'extern 'C' ' coming. In addition, Labview can read only pointers from dll.

  

• dll call problem

  I would use .dll files that have been developed for another application.

  I use TS 4.0 which is recognizing the function of the dll, but when try to run it it does not work.

  I thought that it is not so simple, I've attached to specify a part of module.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Dear all,

  Thank you for your efforts in trying to help me to get out and find a solution.

  In the meantime, the problem has been resolved.

  The csAudio.dll is an interface between the original application and a DLL that has the function complete as an executable file.

  I saw this for the first time, I could see only csAudio.dll.

  The other DLL (an audiotester) has a function that uses the settings. One of them is a pointer to a string of zero completed (CString).

  The other two:

  -ReceiveBuffer is a variable passed that will be filled by the DLL and contains the results of
  the DLL.

  -ReceiveBufferLen is an integer variable that contains the length of the string buffer.
  The result of the DLL should be zero.

  The only problem still exist it is that if I call this DLL to stop TestStand freezes.

  So I skipped this step and it seems that TS closes and unload the DLL function when finished sequence.

• Problem of driver DLL StepperBee +.

  
  

  Try replacing the header with the following text file (for unknown reasons, the forum won't let me download it).  Function calls use simple types, there is a good chance that the DLL import wizard will be able to manage by using this header file.  For some reason, the Import Wizard of DLL, at least in 2009 of LV, imported bool as a char * instead of int, so I replaced the bool with ints as well.  See if it works.

  // Header file for use with stp.dll

• The VISA almost a DLL call

  Well, I need to do some tasks finishing with LabVIEW objects inside my DLL. One of these objects is VISA serial port session. In LabVIEW, I can just call VISA VI close and everything goes OK. But in the DLL, it's complicated things because I can't see codes sources (or schema) near visa. I found some information that could use the visa32.dll viClose function in the LabVIEW folder or system32 directory. But when I try to use it with a simple casting to INT32 and passing to int32_t viClose(int32_t objectHandle); It goes to the error on the next launch of the program. Then look at this diagram:

  

  First the program works allright. Second time, it throws the following error:

  

  The program works fine with standard close VI of VISA. But it is impossible to use it inside my C++ library. Then I started thinking, appellant viClose simple is not enough for a proper clean-up of resource VISA. I tried viTerminate before viClose, but the problem remains the same.

  So, how can I log VISA properly in the DLL? Perhaps, it is better not to close it at all? There may be memory leaks that...

  Hi Dadreamer,

  I looked this error and we might be able to fix it by closing the VISA sessions automatically. See this knowledge base article for instructions of the environment of LV:http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A2561CDE98B66DD4862566510078264F?OpenDocument. The corresponding section:

  "

  • "In LabVIEW 8.x, select Tools ' Options to display the Options dialog box and select environmentfrom the category list page. "To disable the option, remove the check mark from the check box close automatically to the sessions of VISA and click on the OK button.

  Let me know if it works.

• Under .dll call of Mobile 6 PDA

  Hello

  I wish I could call a .dll in a SW developed on LabVIEW PDA and I have a problem with regard to the opening of This that me is provided by United Nations levels.

  FYI, I know that it is possible to make such an action (what we already inside of this application) but I want to know it is the necessary details about building the DLL.

  Indeed, should activate parameters specific to the level of the compiler (or other)?

  Pour info: the dll that does not work is generated Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0 integrated on an ARMv4 target (the PDA is ARMv5 TE normally backwards compatible)

  PS: question subsidiary-online is it possible under LabVIEW PDA call an EXE? (IE like what you can do in windows via the call to the command line).

  Thank you.

• From two hexagonal numbers as a variable byte in dll calls

  I imported a DLL, which works well when it was called by C++ codes.  However, a few screws converted did not work properly.  The original functions were supposed to write a set of two hexadecimal numbers (one byte in size) to an address specified in the form of two characters.  Somehow after these functions have been converted to screw, they wrote the first hexagonal number and ignore the rest.  My speculation is that, given that this variable is declared as a type byte, the VIs may only take the first hexadecimal digit as a character (also a byte in size) and ignored the following hexadecimal number.  Has anyone ran into similar problems?

  Configure the setting in COLD LAKE to be a U8 integer instead of a string.

• LabVIEW DLL called from C

  I would like to create a DLL in LabVIEW which can be called from a C program.

  The purpose of the DLL is to display a dialog box along side a C program user interface and view a picture is updated continuously in the program.

  The LabVIEW DLL would be

  1 would be considered to be a dialog box that opens up along the side of the user interface of the C program.

  2. the DLL would regularly be called with the parameters passed by the C program.

  3. the dialog box would contains a picture that is updated by the parameters of the permanence of program C.

  Is this feasible?  I assume that the DLL has to work like a demon, because the DLL is a dialog that must cover along the side of the user interface of C.  To run a DLL written in LabVIEW, is the needs of PC - the runtime?

  Everything was OK until 5. For 6, you do not get a reference to something C. You simply call the exported function that is the VI 'set params.

  I have included a sample project to give you an idea. The code LabVIEW is written in LV 8.2 and the project with a version of a DLL specification. I used c# for this example, but you can easily translate it c If you wish.

• DLL calling convention set-match?

  I'm convering an application in a DLL and everything seems to work except when I call it from a stub application I get a Non-fatal runtime error "CVI has detected and the inconsistency of the execution stack" Debugger dialog box when the DLL function returns.

  My heel is using the following to load the function:

  prototypes:

  HINSTANCE hInstSAE;
  typedef int(* x_calcSAE) (int, int * short *, char *, CXP_PARAM *);
  x_calcSAECG calcSAE = NULL;

  then in main():

  hInstSAE = LoadLibrary ("SAE.dll");
  If (hInstSAE)
  calcSAE = (x_calcSAE) GetProcAddress (hInstSAECG, "CAS");

  My DLL export function is declared:

  int DLLEXPORT sae DLLSTDCALL (int N, int * r, short * data, char * ID, CXP_PARAM * Param);

  How can I delete the error?  It does not appear to be a problem, because if I click on continue and calling other than bad going on nothing other than the popup of debugger on each return.  How can I get a stack dump to see what Setup before the call and the return?

  Hey wally.

  My guess is that you need to change your typedef to the following:

  typedef int (* DLLSTDCALL x_calcSAE) (int, int * short *, char *, CXP_PARAM *);

  Generally, the default value used by convention to call CVI is __cdecl, which does not match your function prototype __stdcall calling convention.  This means that if you do not specify a calling convention for your function pointer, the __cdecl calling convention will be used.  You must update the function pointer type to match the declared function prototype.

• Why do I have a folder on drive C, called program data?

  I'm running out of space on my C drive and watch programs that I can move drive D, but looking at the items on the C drive, there is this folder named Program Data, which I don't remember being on the windows or even on the C drive of last year.

  It is absolutely necessary.  Removing it would make most apps to stop.

  There are other ways to gain back space like delete temporary files, reducing the size of your pagefile, UN-installing apps you don't use and remove the accessories (such as games) that you do not use.

  IF the shortage is radical you can even remove unused fonts (make sure that they are not used in first), etc.
