Using C structures in LabView

Using C structures in LabView

‎06-16-2000 08:25 AM

Hi,

I want to use this function into LabView:

struct my_output my_function (char * signal, unsigned size_signal)

the output of the function is a C structure:

struct my_output
{
double d_value;
unsigned u_value;
unsigned u_value2;
double d_value2;
.....
}my_output;

I would like to retrieve the C structure in a cluster in LabView.

Is it possible to convert from C structure type to cluster type in LabView?

Thanks in advance,

Miguel.

First create CIN on your VI, then connect cluster to CIN's output.
Right click on CIN and choose to create .c file.
Output is belove.
More info on how to compile lsb file to be used by CIN is on NI website.
CIN=code interface node

/*
* CIN source file
*/

#include "extcode.h"

/*
* typedefs
*/

typedef struct {
float64 d_value;
float64 d_value2;
uInt32 u_value;
uInt32 u_value2;
} TD1;

CIN MgErr CINRun(TD1 *Cluster, float64 *input_d);

CIN MgErr CINRun(TD1 *Cluster, float64 *input_d) {

/* ENTER YOUR CODE HERE */

return noErr;
}

Thanks for the information, but I have a dll function and I want to use
"call library function"
to access to the library.

Miguel.

Check this example, that should do it.

Re: Using C structures in LabView

Hi Miguel,
I have a problem which I think you might be able to help me with if you have time. I have a DLL function which requires a structure pointer (or a structure array) passed to it. Since I am using call library function I am trying to pass a cluster array to it, but it does not seem to be working. Can you help?
Regards,
Setu.
