I have a vendor supplied driver that needs the day of the year (0-365), minutes, hours, seconds for their board so that it updates itself to the correct time. I am looking at the LabWindows/CVI functions time and localtime to get this information. Those calls are documented in ...\CVI2010\include\ansi\time.h with the code contained within C:\windows\system32\cvirte.dll
when I set up the module within TestStand, I get a message that states:
This function either does not have parameter information in the DLL or user types not recognized by TestStand.
Not a problem. I used the information within time.h to setup the parameters for the function time. That function works fine. The function localtime returns a structure with the individual time elements. I created a Custom Data Type to define the structure. I cannot seem to determine how to define the module for this action so that it will work.
I am including the sequence file, .h file, and the dll to help you understand what I am attempting to acomplish. Perhaps I am not using the correct dll or there is a better option. Any help would be appreciated.
NOTE: I could not attach a DLL so I renamed the extension to LLB. You will need to rename it back to DLL.
