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).

  • Need a bit of help with the string read/write DLL

    I have a DLL that communicates via RS232 with some instruments.

    From 2 numbers (parameter number and a number of processes) the DLL will communicate and extract the values.

    I managed to put in place the DLL to get words, characters, long and floats (single precision).

    Now, it is the documentation that accompanies it for strings:

    ReadString asks the DLL to get the data of the instrument, if succesfull I have others on call GetString to get the string memory.

    I have a few questions:

    -The values of her star (*) are pointers; As I understand it that it points to a place of memory where the value is stored, is - that correct?

    -How do I know if I pass the value to the DLL, or read? For example with GetString Im not sure if

    I should pass the length of the string to the DLL or if it is read

    -How to get the character returned in a string; IM assuming I need to find somewhere a byte array.

    Now I can also write strings:

    As a matter of f:

    -Should I add NULL at the end of the string, or labview does by default?

    My procedure is now: read the input chain, reduce it to the size of the specified string (this is constant according to the setting of the instrument), converted to a byte array and replace the last element of the array with 0 (Null).

    However, the DLL entry expected a character, that I should get in the DLL?

    They can be pointers or buffers. Which of the two is ambiguous in the syntax of C. However, in your case I suppose that piMsgId and pcLen be a pointer to a unique value and pszDest a string buffer.

    -How do I know if I pass the value to the DLL, or read? For example with GetString Im not sure if

    I should pass the length of the string to the DLL or if it is read

    Description is not really clear however most of the C API require today the length of the allocated buffer at the entrance to make sure that they don't overrun the buffer length. They may or may not change this value before returning to indicate the amount of data they actually informed. The pcLen parameter passed by reference probably indicates that this function does this way.

    -How to get the character returned in a string; IM assuming I need to find somewhere a byte array.

    It is not necessary. You can simply set the parameter to a string and must be passed as a C string pointer. In LabVIEW 8.5 or more you can also configure to resize this string for the number of characters as indicates it a different setting of the library to compose the node (CLN), in this case your pcLen. 8.5 you can use a table to explicitedly initialization function create a table Bbyte of the length needed, convert the byte array to string and pass to the CLN parameter. LabVIEW will return automatically only the part of the string up to the NULL character if a CLN is configured as C string pointer

    Now I can also write strings:

    As a matter of f:

    -Should I add NULL at the end of the string, or labview does by default?

    No! If you configure the parameter is a string, passed as a string pointer C, LabVIEW will do it automatically for you.

    My procedure is now: read the input chain, reduce it to the size of the specified string (this is constant according to the setting of the instrument), converted to a byte array and replace the last element of the array with 0 (Null).

    However, the DLL entry expected a character, that I should get in the DLL?

  • Password reset disk error - "year error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account.

    Hello!

    -A bit of background: the desktop PC that I use is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, with active user accounts total five. I have my own account, and I can access the computer through (or through account from my brother, because I know its password).--

    I had this problem recently came where the administrator password (that I know for a long time and never changed) no longer works. So, after some research, I created a reset password on a USB disk, that I found in my house. I managed to create the disc, but when I tried to put the new password, I got the message error "an error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account', which I must say is not very clear. I found a few methods of force - reset the password for the account of the admin, as using a sort of Windows Vista DVD or go to Safe Mode to find the hidden administrator account... but I have no idea what this DVD is or where to find, and in Safe Mode, there is no account user administrator to be seen. I believe that my machine is corrupted, but I don't want to buy a new. I want just to reset a password...

    Any help is appreciated. If I was not specific enough, I can specify in comments.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You must make a password reset disk before that there are problems with a password, not afterwards.

  • Set the attributes for dynamic data waveform t0 zeros?

    HI -.

    A beginner to labview here, so please be nice ;-)

    I have a simple setup with mainly express screws where I follow the steps below in a while loop

    (1) collect signals with the DAQ Assistant, that generates dynamic data. It is the collection of samples of N

    (2) changing the attributes of the dynamic data using the express VI 'Set the Dynamic Data attributes'

    (3) storing dynamic data revised to a file by using the writing to the file of the measurement.

    The problem I was see is that whenever I have insert the express VI 'Set the Dynamic Data attributes' in the data flow, I find myself with a file where synchronization of the signal (i.e., the waveform t0) was cancelled. This seems to happen any dynamic data attributes, I edit. For example, even if I try to set the name of signal I find myself with out having a nulled-out t0

    FYI, I'm using Labview 2009 9.0f3, 32-bit

    I have attached a code simplified showing what looks like a bug to me. Any help would be appreciated!

    It looks like a bug to me as well. Also, unlike other screw Express, you do a right click on it and select open the face before seeing what the problem is. It's pretty simple to find a work around. I converted to a waveform, has obtained the t0 and handed that back as the timestamp for the signal of slected.

  • Encoding of the string for HTTP Post

    Hello

    I work with HTTP get and post at the moment, I have a server with a REST of apache based interface. Obtaining and displaying the data are no problem for 'normal' strings and characters, but I can't send characters like German "Umlaut" (Ä Ü Ö) or Japanese or Chinese characters. Coding for the Socket connection is UTF-8 and the command POST also contains a line of Content Type with character set UTF-8. The server expects UTF - 8, so I need my data in this encoding.

    When I send strings of InDesign now, I always get an error 'Bad Request' from my server. Looks like that the strings in ESTK is not UTF-8 - How can I create UTF-8 strings? I can't find methods of encoding conversion...

    Thank you

    Klaus

    OK, it took a while to find that - maybe someone else has the same problem and it is looking for a solution, I'll try to explain:

    I downloaded the source files for tomcat to know how tomcat with my data. I debugged deep into the code until I reached the CotoyeInputStream - here the reading of data from InDesign. And although I understood that the stream is read in the form of bytes and characters are counted. The Umlaute and other special characters are encoded as two bytes, but they are counted as a single character. For every Umlaut transferred the number of bytes is 1 higher than the number of characters.

    And at a time the flow is cut to the number of characters.

    So these are 13 bytes and 12 characters:

    {'name': 'u'}

    The byte stream is cut to 12 - last byte is lost and it will happen in my application server:

    {'name': 'u'}

    Support of closing is absent and that throws the Exception.

    My simple solution/solution: I'm adding several spaces. Tomcat is always cut the last characters, but now there are only spaces to be cut. And with spaces, it worked...
