DLL import and Pointers to a function

Hi,
I am currently trying to get the ANT development kit working under LabView. For that i have imported the dllL (with the 8.2 version of LabView because of unknown reasons the import doesnt work under 8.5).
everything seems to work fine except one thing.
In the dll there is a function
void ANT_AssignResponseFunction(RESPONSE_FUNC pfResonse, UCHAR* pucResponseBuffer); // pucResponse buffer should be of size MESG_RESPONSE_EVENT_SIZE)
that needs a application callback function pointer as defined in the header (all files are attached)
// Application callback function pointer
typedef BOOL (*RESPONSE_FUNC)(UCHAR ucANTChannel, UCHAR ucResponseMsgID);
labview doesnt import the ANT_AssignResponseFunction propperly because it does not recognize RESPONSE_FUNC pfResonse. I have tried several things i have found in the forum and helpsites eg. with mathscript and so on but nothings working, and this and other functions that are built the same way need to work to read data... the example usage from the ant protocol in c looks like this
// Example Usage
BOOL ANT_ResponseFunction(UCHAR ucChannel, UCHAR ucResponseMesgID);
UCHAR aucResponseBuffer[MESG_RESPONSE_EVENT_SIZE];
ANT_AssignResponseFunction(&ANT_ResponseFunction, aucResponseBuffer);
but how can i get this working in labview? i have attached all files.
Please help me.
thanx a lot
martin

hello,
thanks for the answeres. that the dll creation doesnt work with labview ist bad for me, cause my prog skills are very littel. has anyone a link to a good tutorial or so that can help me to create the wrapper dll.
If you don't know C already you would have a very steep learning curve. C in itself is already quite a bit to learn but pointers and expecially function pointers are another step higher in the knowledge ladder when learning C programming.
What is it for and can you afford to pay someone to do this for you? Because doing it yourself will certainly take you lots and lots of hours of work with an outcome that might appear to work but will quite likely crash under exotic curcumstances such as when you have shipped the entire applciation to the other side of the globe.

  • Any example to import and export itab to function module

    hi all,
    as the table parameter in function module is obsolete, please advise an example on how to pass in an internal table
    and return back the result in an internal table as well.
    for example, i have itab1 and itab2. By using table parameters i got the following code. Please advise alternative way by using import and export.
    ""Local Interface:
    *"  TABLES
    *"      itab1 STRUCTURE  Zitab1
    *"      itab2 STRUCTURE  Zitab2
    loop at itab1 into wa_itab.
    **do some logic here to assign value to itab2 and return.
      wa_itab2-a = xxx .
      wa_itab2-b = xxx.
    append wa_itab2 to itab2.
    endloop.
    thank you.

    hi,
    suppose you have two structure name struc1 and struc2.
    create table type zitab1 & 2 for both.
    please do the following:
    ""Local Interface:
    *"  IMPORTING
    *"     VALUE(itab1) TYPE  Zitab1
    *"  EXPORTING
    *"     VALUE(itab2) TYPE  Zitab2
    you can avoid to use the obsolete table parameters as well as LIKE in function module creation.

  • Difference between Import and Export parameters in Function Module

    Hi All,
    I am unclear about the import and export parameters, when i create a function module. Can anyone explain abt this. However when i call the function module in any program the import parameters in Function module are displayed as exporting in program amd the export parameters as importing.
    Any help on this would be appericiated.
    Shejal.

    HI,
    Import parameter in FM is the value u provide to FM for processing.
    export is the value u get from FM after processing.
    when u call a FM in a progam the import parameter will appear as Export bcos u r giving value to the FM.
    and u r getting value from FM in import parameter(bcos u r importing).

  • DRM/MDM Import and Export File types - Question

    Hi Guys,
    We have been implementing Hyperion DRM to our existing Oracle Environment for managing the company's sales data which comes from multiple data sources. In my experience and research, I feel DRM is an excellent tool but there are some questions I have in our mind. The following are the few questions that I\we have.
    a) How does the Import and Export of data functionality works in DRM? In this forum, I have found some one saying we can only import the data through flat files, in other words, "text file" with the delimiters [ ] seperated by comma. My question is, Is there any other possible way to import the data, Such as getting the data directly from the database tables? To get the data, Do we need to have any integration points or do we need to use SOAP APIs (& programming)?
    b) While we exporting the data, can we export it directly to the Oracle database tables? What are the integration points needed for this kind of export?
    c) Is there any sample guide or design document available for creating the hierarchy and nodes. I just want to know how the attributes that we have "is transformed" into the hierarchies and nodes in DRM? In the past, I used Essbase, which is integrated with DRM and that process was straight forward since we imported and exported data directly from DRM to Essbase.
    I would appreciate any suggestion offered to me regarding the questions posted above.
    Thanks in advance,
    Leo

    Hi,
    1.As per my knowledge the Import can be done using Flat files only,we can import the data from Oracle Tables once the structure is ready in DRM.
    2.We have an utility called Export to Table(in the last tab when you performing an Export along with Export to File), which requires the DB mapping to be done properly,
    Thanks!

  • Doubt in  export, import and table para when creating Function Module

    Dear fellow ABAPers,
    I have a doubt in defining export, import and table parameter while creating a function module.
    I am calling a function module inside a user exit. Now in the user exit the SAP fills an internal table called i_lfa1 with all the data user has eneterd.
    Now I want to pass this whole internal table to function module and the perform some checks on the values of internal table.
    After that function module fills an error structure with values depending on some check.
    1)
    How do I pass this internal table to function module ? 
    When I am creating function module in se37 where do I define this iternal table type ? Is it in Import or Table parameter during function module creation?
    2)
    Where do I define error structure type (which is returned by function module to main program)? Is it in Export or table parameter during function module creation?
    Please clear my doubt..
    Relevant points will be awarded.
    Regards,
    Tushar.

    Hi Tushar,
    1. How do I pass this internal table to function module ?
       I assume u are creating your own Y/Z FM.
       Pass it thru TABLES parameter.
    2. When I am creating function module in se37 where do I define this iternal table type
       Define this in TABLES interface.
       What Type ?
       THE SAME TYPE WHICH HAS BEEN DEFINED
        WHILE PASSING IN THE USER-EXIT FUNCTION MODULE.
       IF U SEE THE FM OF THE USER-EXIT,
       U WILL COME TO KNOW.
    3.
    Where do I define error structure type (which is returned by function module to main program)? Is it in Export or table parameter during function module creation?
    Define it in TABLES interace. (not in export, import)
      (Since what u are going to return is an internal table)
      U can take for eg. BDCMSGCOLL.
      OR u can create your own Y/Z structure
    for the same purpose.
      (or u can use the structure type T100)
    I hope it helps.

  • Export and Import Strings To/From Remote Function Modules

    Hi,
    I am building a Web Application in which the user can enter very large string (unlimited) and we want to store that value in the backend. So i need to create Remote function module which can take large strings, store it in backend and when queired export the strings to the calling web application.
    The Remote function module is allowing me to create "Import" and "Export" parameter with type String....but it is not allowing the String type "Table" parameter. I am kind of stuck now as i want to import and export multiple records of type String.
    Can anyone suggest an altenative?
    Regards,
    Kumar.

    Hi,
    To have a table parameter with string type fields, Goto SE11 and under data types, create a structure with the required fields of type string.
    Then u can use this structure to refer to the table parameter and declare it as
    p_tab like ZSTRUCTURE in the tables tab.

  • DLL and pointers, messy stuff i don't understand---

    Hi! I am a newcomer in calling DLLs from LAbview...
    I am trying to implement FFTW (fastest fourier transform in the west) in LV. Though a windows DLL already exists,
    I fear that it is quite impossible to work it directly under LV. Can you check me if this is correct?
    this is what I would be supposed to do in C
    1) Create a so-called "plan", specifying input and output addresses
           plan = make_plan(double *array_in, double *array_out)
    2) Execute the plane
           fftw_execute(plan).
    In C this makes the memory pointed by array_out being updated. In labview it does not... Therefore it seems that such a
    programming-style is not supported by LV. Correct?
    And, btway,  plz help me in understanding what's happening:
    1a) I wire,e.g., a 1D array to a DLL (as *double); now, let's suppose, like in the aforementioned case, that the DLL does not do anything
    on the array (neither read nor write), but simply "gets prepared" for doing something later. I can suppose that, somewhere in the memory,
    it keeps tracks of the memory address of the data it has received.
    2b) Another DLL call, that takes advantage of the information stored by the previous call, reads data in memory and perform calculations.
    The questions are:
    - If between 1 and 2 I change the value of the ARRAY in LV, the second call reads the proper (new) values?
    - If not, what the hell happens to the pointer passed to the DLL in the step 1??? I mean, I LV REALLY PASSED THE DLL the memory address where data
    are stored, I could effectively perform operations on them from everywhere in my operative system... but it seems that i CAN'T!!
    Is there a place where I can find an in-depth documentation to such a stuff??
    Thank you very muche,
    michele

    The main issue you are running into is, that LV will make a copy of the array if you modify it under most circumstances and also make copies (actually 2) if you wire it to an indicator). So you will need to execute the fftw_execute dll call directly after the make_plan dll call and as inline code (so no SubVIs for each call). If you place a Sequence Structure around both dll calls (single frame), you can avoid that LV makes a copy of the array_out before the FFTW was performed (so place the indicator for the array_out outside the structure).

  • How do I use "LabVIEW dll import wizard" to import NETAPI32.dll

    I am trying to use the LabVIEW dll import wizard for the first time. I am not very familiar in C-coding so this might be a good help instead of configuring CallLibraryFunction nodes myself.
    I want to import NETAPI.dll. I am interested in several functions in that dll, but my main priority is the funtion NetUserGetInfo(). On MSDN I have found that the header file for the mentioned function should be: lmaccess.h (include lm.h).
    My problem is this:
    The shared library contains 317 function(s). But no function is found and recognized in the header file. The following function(s) cannot be wrapped. If you want to import these functions, please review the warning messages next to the functions below. You will need to fix the problems before you can continue with the wizard.
    The function cannot be imported into LabVIEW. This might be caused by one of the following problems:
    The function is not declared in the header file but is exported in the library.
    Check the header file to make sure it contains declarations of the function.
    Undefined symbols can prevent the wizard from recognizing functions and parameters. To correct this problem, check the header file to determine if you must add predefined symbols. Click the Back button to return to the previous page of the wizard to add a predefined symbol (for example, "NIAPI_stdcall = __stdcall" or "NIAPIDefined = 1").

    I'm not sure what you exactly mean by "reference to internal function".
    But I'd like to share a possible scenario with you.
    Suppose that you have an application supporting some form of extensibility architecture via plugins.
    Each plugins can be implemented using a separate DLL.
    And, of course, you don't want to rebuild your application from scratch with every plugin's .lib file.
    Suppose that each plugin requires initialization, and to do so the plugin DLL exports a "PluginInit" function.
    Your application could scan the content of a given directory (e.g. a folder named "plugins" under the application's folder), and, for each plugin DLL found, it could use LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() to get access to PluginInit() for each
    DLL, and call it to perform plugin initialization, for each DLL.

  • In-Place Element Structures, References and Pointers, Compiler Optimization, and General Stupidity

    [The title of this forum is "Labview Ideas". Although this is NOT a direct suggestion for a change or addition to Labview, it seems appropriate to me to post it in this forum.]
    In-Place Element Structures, References and Pointers, Compiler Optimization, and General Stupidity
    I'd like to see NI actually start a round-table discussion about VI references, Data Value references, local variables, compiler optimizations, etc. I'm a C programmer; I'm used to pointers. They are simple, functional, and well defined. If you know the data type of an object and have a pointer to it, you have the object. I am used to compilers that optimize without the user having to go to weird lengths to arrange it. 
    The 'reference' you get when you right click and "Create Reference" on a control or indicator seems to be merely a shorthand read/write version of the Value property that can't be wired into a flow-of-control (like the error wire) and so causes synchronization issues and race conditions. I try not to use local variables.
    I use references a lot like C pointers; I pass items to SubVIs using references. But the use of references (as compared to C pointers) is really limited, and the implementation is insconsistent, not factorial in capabilites, and buggy. For instance, why can you pass an array by reference and NOT be able to determine the size of the array EXCEPT by dereferencing it and using the "Size Array" VI? I can even get references for all array elements; but I don't know how many there are...! Since arrays are represented internally in Labview as handles, and consist of basically a C-style pointer to the data, and array sizing information, why is the array handle opaque? Why doesn't the reference include operators to look at the referenced handle without instantiating a copy of the array? Why isn't there a "Size Array From Reference" VI in the library that doesn't instantiate a copy of the array locally, but just looks at the array handle?
    Data Value references seem to have been invented solely for the "In-Place Element Structure". Having to write the code to obtain the Data Value Reference before using the In-Place Element Structure simply points out how different a Labview reference is from a C pointer. The Labview help page for Data Value References simply says "Creates a reference to data that you can use to transfer and access the data in a serialized way.".  I've had programmers ask me if this means that the data must be accessed sequentially (serially)...!!!  What exactly does that mean? For those of use who can read between the lines, it means that Labview obtains a semaphore protecting the data references so that only one thread can modify it at a time. Is that the only reason for Data Value References? To provide something that implements the semaphore???
    The In-Place Element Structure talks about minimizing copying of data and compiler optimization. Those kind of optimizations are built in to the compiler in virtually every other language... with no special 'construct' needing to be placed around the code to identify that it can be performed without a local copy. Are you telling me that the Labview compiler is so stupid that it can't identify certain code threads as needing to be single-threaded when optimizing? That the USER has to wrap the code in semaphores before the compiler can figure out it should optimize??? That the compiler cannot implement single threading of parts of the user's code to improve execution efficiency?
    Instead of depending on the user base to send in suggestions one-at-a-time it would be nice if NI would actually host discussions aimed at coming up with a coherent and comprehensive way to handle pointers/references/optimization etc. One of the reasons Labview is so scattered is because individual ideas are evaluated and included without any group discussion about the total environment. How about a MODERATED group, available by invitation only (based on NI interactions with users in person, via support, and on the web) to try and get discussions about Labview evolution going?
    Based solely on the number of Labview bugs I've encountered and reported, I'd guess this has never been done, with the user community, or within NI itself.....

    Here are some articles that can help provide some insights into LabVIEW programming and the LabVIEW compiler. They are both interesting and recommended reading for all intermediate-to-advanced LabVIEW programmers.
    NI LabVIEW Compiler: Under the Hood
    VI Memory Usage
    The second article is a little out-of-date, as it doesn't discuss some of the newer technologies available such as the In-Place Element Structure you were referring to. However, many of the general concepts still apply. Some general notes from your post:
    1. I think part of your confusion is that you are trying to use control references and local variables like you would use variables in a C program. This is not a good analogy. Control references are references to user interface controls, and should almost always be used to control the behavior and appearance of those controls, not to store or transmit data like a pointer. LabVIEW is a dataflow language. Data is intended to be stored or transmitted through wires in most cases, not in references. It is admittedly difficult to make this transition for some text-based programmers. Programming efficiently in LabVIEW sometimes requires a different mindset.
    2. The LabVIEW compiler, while by no means perfect, is a complicated, feature-rich set of machinery that includes a large and growing set of optimizations. Many of these are described in the first link I posted. This includes optimizations you'd find in many programming environments, such as dead code elimination, inlining, and constant folding. One optimization in particular is called inplaceness, which is where LabVIEW determines when buffers can be reused. Contrary to your statement, the In-Place Element Structure is not always required for this optimization to take place. There are many circumstances (dating back years before the IPE structure) where LabVIEW can determine inplaceness and reuse buffers. The IPE structure simply helps users enforce inplaceness in some situations where it's not clear enough on the diagram for the LabVIEW compiler to make that determination.
    The more you learn about programming in LabVIEW, the more you realize that inplaceness itself is the closest analogy to pointers in C, not control references or data references or other such things. Those features have their place, but core, fundamental LabVIEW programming does not require them.

  • Problem with Import and Export Data Wizard

    Downloaded and installed SQL Server Express 2008 R2 today because I want to explore how Access interacts with SQL Server (using my home computer). I'm using Access 2010 (under Windows 7), so the 2008 version of SQL Server Express seemed to be the version
    to use.
    After a couple of false starts, installation appeared to go okay. After the installation. My Start menu listed Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. The latter listed Import and Export Data (64-bit). When I clicked that, the first Import
    and Export Data Wizard page was displayed. I wasn't ready at that time to explore the wizard, so I closed it. An hour or so later I again attempted to open the Import and Export Data wizard. This time, the wizard didn't open. Instead this error message was
    displayed: "The SSIS Runtime object could not be created. Verify that DTS.dll is available and registered."
    I found DTS.dll on my computer at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn, so the file is available, but don't know whether it is registered.
    How can I correct this problem?

    First can you please post all log file errors
    >> I can't really give you a solution or specific recommendation since I did not saw this error yet myself, but on your own risk you can try:
    1. You may try to just register 'dts.dll' using regsvr32.exe, but this error may indicate a bigger problem with setup.
    If you are running SQL Server 64bit then try running this at the command prompt: %windir%\syswow64\regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\dts\binn\dts.dll"
    2. You can try reinstall from start (In this case you have to make sure that you un-install all)

  • Problem with importing and creating self signed SSL certificate

    Mac Pro, 10.7.2 Server.  Attempting to import or create a self signed certificate for use as ichat.domain.com to encrypt iChat service.  Server is acutally called server.domain.com but has an alias of ichat.domain.com.  I understand that this is probably not best practice but I would like to keep things this way since we have one server, run multiple services on it, but want to continue to connect to each service at SERVICE.domain.com.  We have been using this type of mismatched certificate with success since 10.4 or so.
    I am working through setup of 10.7 Server to replace our 10.6 server. 
    Tried upgrade of 10.6 to 10.7 installation.  The installation made a mess of some services and our Open Directory, but did move the certificate over and allowed iChat service to function properly.
    Clean install and setup of 10.7 Server.  Exported self signed certificate, private key, and encryption password from 10.6 Server and functioning 10.7 upgraded Server.
    On import or manual creation of certificate get the following error:
    Error
    Check your server's logs for more information.  The error (code 5001) was: Expected SecKeychainItemImport to return a SecIdentityRef, but it did not

    I have tried importing and manually creating other certificates with a variety of names with success.  I assume that there is something buried somewhere that is causing this particular one to be a problem.  Other than manually removing any remnants of the certificate from /etc/certficates I do not have any ideas what to try.  I am essentially ready to move this server to 10.7 except for this problem and would like to avoid a reinstall.

  • What is the best way to import and edit a large amount of footage?

    Hello Apple world,
    As a newbie to Final Cut 10 I have a question regarding best ways to import footage. I'll give you a quick run down.
    I have a 150 gig of gopro footage that I just hit 'import' to recently (from my external HD), it took around 10 hours to process it all.
    Its all under one event, but then somewhat organised into dates etc. But it is very slow. I imported it all at once because it was all footage from the last 6 months of my Whistler/states/fiji trip and want to make a movie out of it, using clips from all over the time, not just in chronological order.
    I have the latest mac book pro, 4 gig ram,2.4 GHz i7, 750 hard drive, with nothing else on the computer.
    Ive read about creating proxy media, after ive imported, but am still somewhat confused as to the benefit. Does it create duplicates? that will fill up my pretty large HD as it is!
    Can you suggest any ways that might make my laptop run a bit faster? Should i delete and work directly from external HD etc etc?
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    I've just finished shooting what I am considering to be my directorial masterpiece.  Shot it on the Canon 5D (1080p, 24fps), and the footage looks amazing.  Now I am ready to start editing and have been using premiere lately, but I have yet to figure out the proper pipeline.  I want to know the best way to retain resolution before I delve into this project.
    My questions:
    1)  What is the best way to start a new project and import the footage without having to render whilst editing, so as to retain all resolution and originality of the source footage?
    2)  What is the best way/ codec/ format to export this same footage once editing is complete so as to retain that crisp 1080p for which the 5D is so recognized?
    3)  What is the best way/ codec/ format to import and export/ render between premiere and after effects?  I am speaking mostly of vfx and color correction.  I also have some 30fps footage that I intend to slow down in AE and then import into premiere.
    I know this is pretty broad, but as a solo filmmaker I really need someone's guidance.  I rarely ever finish my films with the same, crisp look as the footage.  I need pipeline help, and really appreciate it!
    1. Follow the advice above. Also use the Media Browser to import the footage in case you have spanned media files. Import files with the Media Browser.
    2. It largely depends on what you wish to ouput to: Blu-ray, web, etc. This FAQ gives the best answer: What are the best export settings?
    3. Use the Replace with Adobe After Effects Composition function.
