How do you pass an array of characters using the DLL functions

I have exported C code into my DLL and I want to know how to pass an array of characters using LabVIEW.

Mont;
If you want to pass a string from LabVIEW to your dll, and you do NOT change size of the string, you can use a C String pointer (CStr), which is equivalent to (unsigned) char *.
If you do modify size of the string, pass string as a LabVIEW structure (LStrHandle).
The example "Passing a Variety of Data Types from DLL to LabVIEW" is an excellent starting point. Also make sure you check the manual "Using External Code in LabVIEW".

How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number

How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number?

The find my iphone app has nothong to do with it.
That app simply allow you to find other devices using your ipod. It has nothing to do with fining the device on which it is installed.
If you set up the find my ipod feature that is built into your ipod and the ipod is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
Othrewise, it cannot be tracked.

How do I pass an array of structs to a C function using the dll flexible prototype adapter?

What I want to do is pass into a C dll function a variably sized Array of structs of type TPS_Data. My Code compiles but when I run it in TestStand, I get an error -17001; Program Error. "Cannot allocate 0 size buffer Error in parameter 2, 'OpenFrdData'."
I've allocated the Array of structs, and all of the information is there before I call my function, so is it my prototype? Or am I asking too much of the DLL Flexible Prototype Adapter to pass an Array of Structs?
I can pass in a single struct of type TPS_Data and that works, but not an array.
Here's the relevent code:
typedef struct TPS_DATA
char Report_Number[256];
char System_Name[256];
char Open_Date[256];
char UUT_Part_Number[256];
char UUT_Serial_Number[256];
char UUT_Name[256];
char Open_Employee_Name[256];
char Open_Employee_Number[256];
char Close_Employee_Name[256];
char Close_Employee_Number[256];
char Close_Date[256];
} TPS_Data;
typedef struct TPS_DATA_ARRAY
TPS_Data DataRecord;
} TPS_DataArray;
long __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall OpenDialog (CAObjHandle Context, TPS_DataArray *TpsData[], const char *psFaultStr, char *sComments, const int nCount);

OK,
I can pass the data to the DLL function, using the following types:
typedef struct StringArrayType
char string[10][256];
} StringArray;
typedef struct MultiStringArrayType
StringArray Record[10];
} MultiStringArray;
void __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall ATP_TestStructPassing(StringArray Strings)
return;
void __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall ATP_TestMultiStructPassing(MultiStringArray *Strings)
return;
But when the MultiStruct function Exits, TestStand reports an Error:
-17501 "Unexpected Operating System Error" Source: 'TSAPI'
There doesn't seem to be a way around this, and once the error occurs, I have to force quit TestStand. I've included the sequence file, and the dll code can be compiled from the fun
ctions shown above.
Any thoughts on how to get around this error would be greatly appreciated.

How do you flush a device's buffer using LabVIEW GPIB functions?

I know the VISA Flush function is an alternative, but I started my program with the low level GPIB functions and it would be a huge task switching now, so if anyone knows how I would do the buffer clear I would greatly appreciate it if you can show me how it's done. Thanks.

Your comment about an indicator getting "clogged up with data" doesn't make any sense. The contents of a string or array indicator can get large and slow things down but a numeric indicator cannot get clogged up. If the data stops making sense, then you are incorrectly reading the instrument and converting that data to a numeric. With your comments about the device transmit buffer, I suspect you have occasionaly set the byte count too low and unread bytes are there that you then read the next time. As long as the instrument is fairly new, it will send out a termination character (typically EOI) that will terminate the read. You can then set the read count to some arbitrarily high number to ensure you've got the entire tr
ansmit buffer contents. It's also possible that you periodicaly have an error condition where the instrument is sending unexpected information. For example, if it normally sends a floating point number as a result and then it sends an error message string, you might not be intrepreting it correctly.

HT5537 How do you import/export garage band projects using the latest version of iTunes when there is no apps in the left column to select garageband?

I am perfectly aware of how to do this using the old version of itunes.
however i just got a new macbook pro retina... and it came with the latest version of itunes.
and i was trying to import/export garage band files between my ipad and mac via itunes.
and the option for apps, that is usually on the left side where you can then select garage band from in itunes, isnt there in the new version of itunes.
has anyone got a work around for this?
thanks.
nic

Nic, for me the iTunes window looks like this, when I connect my iPad 3:
I select the iPad in the "devices" section of the Sidebar (use: "View > Show Sidebar" if the sidebar is hidden).
Click the "Apps" tab in the "Devices" pane.
Scroll all the way down in the Devices pane to "File Sharing" "Apps" section.
Then do I click "GarageBand" to select the documents in the right panel.
Which part is different for you? Perhaps you could post a screenshot?

How do you make Sun Glassfish 2.1 use ocijdbc11.dll?

Hello all,
This is my first post here! I just have a question with regards to how to make glassfish 2.1 use ocijdbc.dll. I recently downloaded a reporting application called JasperServer (community edition) which I configured for use with Oracle 11g and glassfish. I have deployed the war file into glassfish after doing all the necessary steps (copying ojdbc14.jar and ocijdbc11.dll into the gf lib folder, creating an Oracle datasource using the "thick" driver, etc.) However, when I try to ping my database from gf. I get a no ocijdbc10 in java.library path error. I assumed gf 2.1 defaults the oci driver to 10 so I copied the files over from my 10gr2 database. Unfortunately, if I use this oci version against an 11g database, I get a java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01024: invalid datatype in OCI call. I assume 11g expects the dll version that came with it. What settings in glassfish should I change to make it use ocijdbc11.dll?
Thanks in advance!

10G-Newbie,
Make sure that you can tnsping your Oracle DB. I have installed HTMLDB recently and also couldn't connect to my HTMLDB, only to Oracle HTTP server. However, as soon I got my Oracle networking done correctly, and tnsping to my DB, I also could connect to HTMLDB.
Thank you,

How do you delete duplicates in your itunes using the iPhone?

Lots of duplicates, very annoying, how can I clean this out?

Lynn
Are you using Safari, or Chrome? Firefox? If in Safari go to Bookmarks then Show All Bookmarks, look for bookmarks bar, right click on the bookmark and select delete. Chrome and Firefox are similar. Go to Bookmark Manager see where your bookmarks are right click and delete. Hope this helps!

How do you create a section in labview using the configuration file vis

I'm trying to create a new section in Labview. All i see is the possibilties to read sections and keys, write keys, delete sections. Is there a way to write a new section in Labview.
Thanks,
Brandon
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you write to a key, you have to supply a section. If the section isn't there, then it will be created. Basically, you can't have a section without any keys.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

How do you allow all normal users to use the IOSsimulator in Xcode without placing them in the _developer group?

Ever since we've updated Xcode at my place of work normal users have been unable to run their applications in Xcodes iOS simulator because they're prompted with a "Developer Tools Access needs to take control of another process for debugging to continue. Type the name and password of a user in "Developer Tools" group to allow this". I work in an ever expanding office with over 200 employees so adding them all to the _developer group will just be far to time consuming. Is there a way to give normal users permissions to run the IOS simulator?
Here is the message I would like for normal users to bypass.

....I don't see a way around it - either they're in a permissioned group with an applicable login or they're not, right?

How to handle an array of strings in LabView is impatient.
I want to VB program implemented in LabView.

Have you actually tried to right click on the according node parameter and select Create->Constant or Create-Control??
And I don't see any string array in the parameter list. That are all simple strings and the VB code in your first post clearly shows that the call to the function only indexes the first element of those arrays to be passed to the function, not the entire array.
If the function really reads arrays despite being declared as only taking strings then it is using some weirdo VB trickery and there will be no way to replicate that in LabVIEW.

How do you pass XML as a URL param?

How do you pass XML as a URL param?
Thanks!

I don't know why I wasn't thinking about this when I made my
last post. If they're pasting some XML into a form, that's one
thing. But if they need to send XML to your site from their own,
you can setup a Coldfusion Component (CFC) as a Web Service to
accept XML through a WSDL call.

How do you create an array of any size(no limits).

how do you create an array of any size(no limits). this array should hold BigInteger values.
BigInteger[] array = new BigInteger[100000000]; //creates new array of BigIntegers array[0] = new BigInteger("6"); //puts "6" in
array[1] = BigInteger.ZERO;
but this type of an array can only hold a limited amount.

Use a java.util.List, e.g., ArrayList or LinkedList.

How do you pass shell scripts with cocoa?

How do you pass shell scripts with cocoa?

You asked for more detail -- I don't know if this is what you were referring to or not, but here's a little more detail on how to use the system() function if that's what you wanted to know.
As etresoft mentioned, the system() function can be useful for the kind of thing you are talking about. You will need to write the following statement at the top of your code if you want to use it:
#include <stdlib.h>
To use the system() function, simply put the command as you would write it in the Terminal between double quotes between the parenthesis. For example, something as simple as:
system("ls");
I don't what the practical use of the above statement would be, but it will run, and that's the general format for the system() function. So just put between the quotes whatever command you want to send.
Hope there was something helpful here.
