ScriptStart Method - neoVI API

This method starts the execution of a script that has been downloaded to a neoVI device.

C/C++ Declare

int _stdcall icsneoScriptStart(void * hObject, int iLocation);

Visual Basic .NET Declare

Public Declare Function icsneoScriptStart Lib “icsneo40.dll” (ByVal hObject As IntPtr, ByVal iLocation As Int32) As Int32

C# Declare

[DllImport(“icsneo40.dll”)] public static extern Int32 icsneoScriptStart(IntPtr hObject, Int32 iLocation);

Parameters

hObject

[in] Specifies the driver object created by OpenNeoDevice.

iLocation

[in] Specifies the physical location of the script to be executed on the neoVI device. Valid values are:

SCRIPT_LOCATION_FLASH_MEM = 0 (Valid only on a neoVI Fire or neoVI Red)SCRIPT_LOCATION_SDCARD = 1 (Valid only on a neoVI Fire or neoVI Red)SCRIPT_LOCATION_VCAN3_MEM = 2 (Valid only on a ValueCAN 3 device)

These values are defined in the icsnVC40.h file

Return Values

1 if the function succeeded. 0 if it failed for any reason. GetLastAPIError must be called to obtain the specific error. The errors that can be generated by this function are:

NEOVI_ERROR_DLL_NEOVI_NO_RESPONSE = 75

NEOVI_ERROR_DLL_INVALID_SCRIPT_LOCATION = 213

NEOVI_ERROR_DLL_SDCARD_NOT_INSERTED = 214

NEOVI_ERROR_DLL_SCRIPT_START_ERROR = 218

Remarks

The script must have been successfully downloaded to the neoVI using LoadScript. Use ScriptStop to suspend execution of the script. If the connected device is a ValueCAN 3 and a location other than SCRIPT_LOCATION_VCAN3_MEM will generate an error.

Examples

C/C++ Example:

int iRetVal;
unsigned long lLastErrNum;

printf("Attempting to start the script\n");
iRetVal = icsneoScriptStart(hObject, DefaultScriptLocation);
if(iRetVal == 0)
{
    printf("Failed to start the script API Error\n");
}
else
{
    printf("Successfully started the script\n");
}

C# Example:

Int32 iResult;

//Start CoreMini
iResult = icsNeoDll.icsneoScriptStart(m_hObject, Convert.ToInt32(CoreMiniStoreLocation.SCRIPT_LOCATION_FLASH_MEM));

if(iResult == 0)
{
    lblCMStatus.Text = "CoreMini Failed to Start";
}
else
{
    lblCMStatus.Text = "CoreMini Started";
}

Visual Basic .NET Example:

Dim iResult As Int32

'//Start CoreMini
iResult = icsneoScriptStart(m_hObject, SCRIPT_LOCATION_FLASH_MEM)

If iResult = 0 Then
    lblCMStatus.Text = "CoreMini Failed to Start"
Else
    lblCMStatus.Text = "CoreMini Started"
End If
