Pibsta = (int *) GetProcAddress(Gpib32Lib,
(LPCSTR)"user_ibsta");
Piberr = (int *) GetProcAddress(Gpib32Lib,
(LPCSTR)"user_iberr");
Pibcntl = (long *) GetProcAddress(Gpib32Lib,
(LPCSTR)"user_ibcnt");
Pibdev = (int (__stdcall *)
(int, int, int, int, int, int))
GetProcAddress(Gpib32Lib, (LPCSTR)"ibdev");
Pibonl = (int (__stdcall *)(int, int))
GetProcAddress(Gpib32Lib, (LPCSTR)"ibonl");
If GetProcAddress fails, it returns a NULL pointer. The following
code fragment shows you how to verify that none of the calls to
GetProcAddress failed:
if ((Pibsta == NULL) ||
(Piberr == NULL) ||
(Pibcntl == NULL) ||
(Pibdev == NULL) ||
(Pibonl == NULL)) {
/* Free the GPIB library */
FreeLibrary(Gpib32Lib);
printf("GetProcAddress failed.");
}
Your Win32 application needs to dereference the pointer to access either
the status variables or function. The following code shows you how to call
a function and access the status variable from within your application:
dvm = (*Pibdev) (0, 1, 0, T10s, 1, 0);
if (*Pibsta & ERR) {
printf("Call failed");
}
