I'm having a problem with ANT_SendBurstTransfer comman.
I call it passing an array or 128 byte ,so 16 packets of 8 bytes.
My code (delphi) is very simple :

cont:= length(burst)
ANT_SendBurstTransfer(0,burst,Round(cont/8)); 

But the dll send always a lot of burst packets filled by 0. I seems to ignore
the number of packets I put in the second argument.

Here an antware log:

Hi,

Could you verify that the arguments being passed to the dll through delphi are the correct size?

Also, is the content of the first 16 bytes correct?

Hi,
thank you for the fast reply.

Yes, the packet counter is a word ( 16 bit unsigned) .

Hi,

I tried running the ANT_SendBurstTransfer using the DEMO_DLL project available in the ANT_Libraries solution and it runs fine.

If I run the demo code:

{
            // Send Burst Data (10 packets)
            UCHAR aucTempBuffer[8*10];
            
            for (int i = 0; i < 8*10; i++)
               aucTempBuffer[i] = i;   
            
            ANT_SendBurstTransfer(USER_ANTCHANNEL, aucTempBuffer, 10);
            break;
} 

The slave receives:

  :: 50, 00-00-01-02-03-04-05-06-07

I would try printing out your arguments before you call ANT_SendBurstTransfer() to make sure they are the correct values you assume.

Also, I noticed you receive 17 packets of non-zero burst data. Do the first 16 bytes have the correct information?. I am not sure how delphi initialises arrays or passes them to C, I would try to verify the data in the array passed to the dll by printing it.

Hi,

we fixed the problem importing the DLL function using this signature:

type
  UCHAR = byte;
  pUCHAR = ^byte;

....
....
Procedure ANT_SendBurstTransfer(ucChannel: UCHAR; pucData: PUCHAR; usNumDataPackets: USHORT);
cdecl; external 'ANT_DLL'; 

Then the array passed must be a static array.

With this indication the burst comunication works correctly.

Thank you for the support.
