Hi,
ClientServerExample.cpp implements the example meter. If you want to read the meter you need to read it using GuruxDLMSClientExample. Change settings (client and server address) to same what you are using with GXDLMSDirector.

hi sir,
i m running clientServerExample in visual studio2017,but not getting any results
when i debugging i got argc value is eaual to 1.
so its not going inside switch loop.
//this function not going inside switch loop. because getoptr get -1 return from another lib.
while ((opt = getopt(argc, argv, "h:p:c:s:r:it:a:wP:g:S:")) != -1)
{
switch (opt)
{
case 'w':
interfaceType = DLMS_INTERFACE_TYPE_WRAPPER;
break;
case 'r':
if (strcmp("sn", optarg) == 0)
{}
//from here return -1 value because ((optind >= argc) this condition satisfied and return -1.

int getopt(int argc, _TCHAR *const argv[], const char *optstring)
{
if ((optind >= argc) || (argv[optind][0] != '-') || (argv[optind][0] == 0))
{
return -1;
}
int opt = argv[optind][1];
const char *p = strchr(optstring, opt);

if (p == 0)
{
return '?';
}
++optind;
if (p[1] == ':')
{
if (optind >= argc)
{
optarg = (char*)p;
return '?';
}
optarg = argv[optind];
++optind;
}
return opt;
}
#endif
