DLL in TestStand

[vivekde]

Hi,

       I am having a DLL that is returning a pointer to character. Is there any provision to receive that pointer in TestStand. I am using this DLL as an adapter in TestStand. While the DLL is getting attached, TestStand is not recognizing the prototype of the DLL and also TestStand is not returning other than numeric and boolean.

        Looking for help !!!

Thanks in advance,

Vivek

Hi Vivek,

If the parameter does not show up in TestStand, you can click on the "Add Parameter" button to add it. Next, select "String" from the "Category" dropdown, and "C String (const)" from the "Type" dropdown. I hope this helps.

You cannot return a string as the return value of a function to TestStand, but you can return a string as a char buffer parameter.

Declare your function as follows:

void __declspec(dllexport) Read(char data[])
{
    strcpy(data, "Hello");
}
