Cognex DM70 Barcode scanning into cvi

[Dennisatwork]

I am trying to scan in a 2D barcode into CVI 2015. I can trigger the scanner (Cognex DM70) via my code but the return result is an integer instead of a string and is not even close to what I expect ( a string). I can also manually scan the 2D barcode via the DataMan 5.7.0 setup tool and get expect results in that program.

Attached is the code I am using.

Hi Dennis,

Is this an example program that you got from Cognex? Have you tried scanning different barcodes and do you always get an integer?

Where do you expect the result ?

The last two lines of your code are

---

sprintf(Cust_num1,  "%d",name);    

 status = Cognex_DataMan_SDK_DataManSystem_SendCommand (DM_system, "GET RESULT", &name, NULL);

---

That looks for me , that a SDK call is missing, which actually reads the result and puts it into a variable.
