Hi Mikko,

I would like to build C# simulator Gurux.DLMS.Simulator.Net but there is no proper steps to compile whether to compile, do we need to build the development folder also? and also how can we build this in ubuntu, I am new to this C# so please give me some straight forward answer to get the .exe of simulator, I have some issues with the Meter am using, somehow I have to use this simulator to take forward, so please let me know.

Thanks,

Hi Gopi,

Get the latest version. Then do this:

1. Check that you have installed .Net Core 3.1 running:
dotnet --version

2. Build project running:
dotnet build Gurux.DLMS.Simulator.NetCore.sln

3. run app running:
dotnet Gurux.DLMS.Simulator.Net.dll -h IP_ADDRESS -p 4061 -o results.xml

BR,

Mikko

I'm not familiar with that .NET stuff so maybe I'm missing something obvious.
Is there any chance to fix it?

Hi,

We made one change for Security Suite 2 last week and it breaks simulator. This is now fixed. Get the latest version from Github.

Unfortunately it looks that

I'm not a .NET developer but shouldn't Settings.cs:211 look like:

settings.client.Ciphering.Security = (Security)Enum.Parse(typeof(Security), it.Value);

and GXDLMSReader.cs:202 like:

byte security = Convert.ToByte(Client.Ciphering.Security);

and so on?
