Hi,
I read a data of type date with following methods :
Read("1.0.1.6.0.255", ObjectType.ExtendedRegister, 5);
public object Read(string logicalName, ObjectType objectType, int attributeIndex)
{
byte[] reply = ReadDataBlock(Client.Read(logicalName, objectType, attributeIndex)[0]);
return Client.GetValue(reply);
}
I know that the result is a date, but answer is an array of byte[] :
{ 0x07, 0xDF, 0x0A, 0x1C, 0x03, 0x10, 0x07, 0x00, 0x00, 0xFF, 0x88, 0x00 }
I didn't found any method to convert this array in date, do you have a method to do that ?
Thanks
Two ways : - Use static
Two ways :
- Use static ChangeType method
if (val is byte[])
{
val = GXDLMSClient.ChangeType((byte[])val, DataType.DateTime);
// => Give a Gurux.DLMS.GXDateTime
}
- Read a GXDLMSObject instead of use LN, objectType and attribute index :
var dlmsObject = GXDLMSClient.CreateObject(ObjectType.ExtendedRegister);
dlmsObject.LogicalName = "1.0.1.6.0.255";
dlmsObject.SetDataType(5, DataType.DateTime);
val = Read(dlmsObject, 5); // => Give a datetime
