Hi Mikko,

Whenever I read nameplate profile object. Before read function I set SetUIDataType DLMS_DATA_TYPE_STRING then read object. But I get data buffer in octal instead of string format.

How should I read namelate profile object in readable format without apply conversion?

Kindly find the blow mentioned sample code-

CGXDLMSProfileGeneric *objNP = new CGXDLMSProfileGeneric("0.0.94.91.10.255");
std::string sNPCapObj;
if ((ret = comm.Read(objNP, 3, sNPCapObj)) != 0)
{
TRACE("err! failed to readCaptureObjects: %s \n", CGXDLMSConverter::GetErrorMessage(ret));
}

std::string sValue;
objNP->SetUIDataType(2, DLMS_DATA_TYPE_STRING);
if ((ret = comm.Read(objNP, 2, sValue)) != 0){
TRACE("err! failed to read register: %s \n", CGXDLMSConverter::GetErrorMessage(ret));
}else{
TRACE("sValues: %s\n", (char*)sValue.c_str());
}
comm.Close();
return 0;

Thanks,

Hi Pradson,

Data type is not set for profile generic. It's set for captured objects like this:

std::string str;
CGXDLMSProfileGeneric pg("0.0.94.91.10.255");
//Read capture objects.
Read(&pg, 3, str);
pg.GetCaptureObjects().at(0).first->SetUIDataType(2, DLMS_DATA_TYPE_STRING);
pg.GetCaptureObjects().at(1).first->SetUIDataType(2, DLMS_DATA_TYPE_STRING);
//Read buffer.
Read(&pg, 2, str);

BR,
Mikko
