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.

  • 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,

  • Problem calling LabVIEW DLL with c#

    Dear all,

    I compiled a few DLLs in LabVIEW and called these DLLs using c#.
    I'm having trouble passing in strings and arrays as input and output of the DLL.

    Whenever I try to view the string I have entered in a dialog box (this part is written in LabVIEW DLL), a LabVIEW message dialog box appears and the program just stuck there.

    Whenever I try to enter a string or an array to the dll, Microsoft Visual Studio would display "attempt read or write protected memory. It is often an indication that other memory has been corrupted. »

    I attached the vi and also the c# .sln file.

    Can you guys please advise where am I wrong?

    Thank you very much.

    You must allocate strings and arrays of output!

    private void button1_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    output string;
    int [] value;
    StringOutput ("A", "B", exit, 3, value, 4);
    }
    }

    Your variable output and value must be preallocated to ensure storage of 3 items respectively. 4. and since you want to receive the C string that you need to increase this to 4 characters terminated by a NULL value.

    String in c# is also a not a C string of object pointer. You must declare the StringOutput() function as follows:

    [DllImport("SharedLib.dll",CallingConvention=CallingConvention.StdCall, Charset=CharSet.Ansi]internal static extern int StringOutput(StringBuilder A, StringBuilder B, out StringBuilder StringOutput, int sizeString, out int[] output, int sizeArray);
    

    Then call like this:

    StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder(4);int[4] array = new int[4];
    
    StringOutput("A", "B", output, output.Capacity, value, value.Length);
    

    Please note that I'm not a pro in c# and usually do not do much in it. Also that this code has not been tested or updated at all, so probably contains some errors. He however point you in the direction of where to look further.

    What you need to understand, is that the C DLL that you created in LabVIEW has a so-called unmanaged interface. This means c# is not able to know how to manage the memory for the parameters at all and you have to do everything yourself, where the obligation to explicitedly initialize variables output and table with a block of memory préallouée.

  • 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.

  • Loop timed in LabVIEW DLL does not close

    Hello!  I have what I think, it is a simple loop timed in LabVIEW that stops after 100 iterations by throwing an error and letting the loop 'stop on error.  It works fine when it is executed in the ordinary LabVIEW environment, however, when compiled as a Dynamic Linked Library (DLL) and called from LabWindows it requires me to put an end to execution, rather than going out nicely.  As well, it seems to leave the real appeal of virtual Instrument very well and go to the next line of code, but when my function main() in LabWindows is completed it must always be something not cleaned which is the cause not come out well.  Any ideas?   I tried to add only a call to QuitLabVIEW and that doesn't seem to do it.

    Thanks in advance - hoping you will notice an error really easy. )

    A photo of the timed loop is attached.

    An excerpt from the code of LabWindows:

    int main)
    {
    CallMyLabVIEWDLL();  This line launches successfully and closed the window for my virtual instrument LabVIEW
    MessagePopup ("' My Title:", "That occurs after the call to your LabVIEW DLL" ");    This popup appears - indicating the call to the DLL has finished

    But after the code has completed LabWindows always shows "running", rather than close.

    return 0;
    }

    Why do you use a loop timed in the windows environment?  They are best used for real-time environments (not windows) and tend to have more support than the time.

    Is there a particular reason, a while loop will not work?

  • 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.

  • Set the string for LabView dll parameter

    Hello

    I created a simple vi LV 2010 (departure vi), which reads the identification of an oscilloscope. Then I take this vi and incorporate it into a dll of LabView. I have test the dll calling LabView (RunFrom dll). Basically, it seems to work, but len and ReadBuffer back empty. It must be in the way I'm configuration configuring the setting for Readbuffer (settings) in the configuration of the dll. I tried several different configurations, but nothing seems to work. Any help is appreciated!

    What is the parameter len?  Normally, you should only set the length of the string, but it seems that you did not do this.  Also, you're passing len by value, and not by reference, so the function is expecting her to be a starter and you will never get return a different value to any value that you provide.

    Do not use a local variable of the ReadBuffer for entry "readbuffer".  You must pass a string initialized long enough to contain the expected quantity of data.  The best way to proceed is to use the array to initialize to create a table of U8, then use the array of bytes to a string.  Set the parameter 'minimum size' to 'len' then run through the length of the string initialized (this is not mandatory but is recommended).  If you need the length obtained output, add another indicator and another parameter to this value.  There might be a way to do it with one by len parameter passing by reference, you need to experiment (it is certainly feasible in C but I don't know if allows him to LabVIEW).

    I work on this issue and wanted to involve the community.

    I have tests the functionality Apple Watch and have been unable to solve my problems with WIFI call. I use the AT & T and I am connect to the strip of the 5 GHz on my router Xfinity.

    I am able to make/receive calls from my iPad and Mac laptop when iPhone is off / Mode plane; However, this feature does not work on the watch. I can make and receive calls from the watch when the phone is turned on.

    Another problem is that I am not able to send and receive messages (blue or green bubble) of the watch - once again when the phone is turned off or in flight Mode

    If your Apple Watch is in range of a Wi - Fi network that the iPhone is connected to before, you can always do the following (even if the iPhone is off):

    • Send and receive digital messages Touch
    • Send and receive messages using Messages
    • Make and receive phone calls (if you have active calls, Wi - Fi, and you are within range of a Wi - Fi connected to your iPhone before)

    Make calls via Wi - Fi

    If your cellular operator offers Wi - Fi calls, you can use Apple Watch to make and receive calls over Wi - Fi instead of cellular network - even when your pair iPhone isn't with you or is disabled. Apple Watch comes to be in range of a Wi - Fi network that is connected to your iPhone in the past.

    To see if your carrier offers Wi - Fi calls, see the article Apple Support phone with Wi-Fi calls, then enable the calls on your iPhone and Apple Watch Wi - Fi.

    Note: You can make emergency calls via Wi - Fi, but when possible, use rather iPhone over a cellular connection - your location information will be more specific.

    Enable on iPhone Wi - Fi calls. On iPhone, go to settings > phone and turn on Wi - Fi calling and application to other devices.

    Enable calls on Apple Watch Wi - Fi. Open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, tap phone, then turn on Wi - Fi calls. If you do not see the parameter, make sure that you have activated calls on iPhone Wi - Fi.

    Answer please if you are able to perform any of these functions! And any troubleshooting you can think!

    Hello

    These features are not available because Apple Watch cannot connect to a network of GHz Wi - Fi 5.

    If your watch is not connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth, but lying in a 2.4 GHz Wi - Fi network your iPhone plugged in before, the watch can connect to this network and you can continue to use certain features, including Wi - Fi calls (when it is supported by your operator, you already have in place).
