Hi,

I have a date-time and corresponding Octed string. How will I check that both are the same.
I mean, how will I convert octed string to readable format string?
Kindly suggest.

<!--2020-12-02 16:30:00-->
<OctetString Value="07E40C0207101E00FFFEB600" />

Thanks

Hi,

You can conver it to the string with GXDLMSClient.ChangeType
Like this:

GXByteBuffer value;
//Add data.
GXDLMSClient.ChangeType(value, DataType.DateTime, false);

HI Mikko,

I am unbale to get proper value of data-time like this (2020-12-02 16:30:00).
Kindly check the lines-
------------------------------------------
CGXByteBuffer value;
value.AddString("07E40C02FF101E00FF014A00");
CGXDLMSVariant newStr;
cl.ChangeType(value, DLMS_DATA_TYPE_DATETIME, false, newStr);
std::string str = newStr.ToString();
-----------------------------------------
output is str = 12343:48:50
------------------------------------------

Thanks,
Pradson

Hi,

You can add it like this if data is in hex string:
CGXByteBuffer value;
value.SetHexString("07E40C02FF101E00FF014A00");

07E40C0207101E00FFFEB600 //12/2/2020 16:30:00
