Dear programmers

I want try to compiled this program that I have written for readiing the voltage but it doesn't compiled it.
It show the next errors but I don't know how I can the solution for fixed this errors.

Errror report:

You are using the Counter as a function and as a variable, which is not necessarily a bad thing but it can lead to a lot of ambiguities. If (and I emphasize IF) your Counter and SUB Counter are two different entities then you obviously need to define Counter variable. You said it is GLOBAL but you have not defined it as, I presume, an INT. And that is exactly what the compiler is telling you - that you have not defined your variable.

However, I am a bit suspicious about your usage of Counter as a variable and as a function. Looking at your code it seems that you actually want to use the Counter as a function and not a variable at all. In that case you should change your code from:

Tijd_Factor = -(Counter / LOG(1 - Negatief / (Positief + Negatief)))

to:

Tijd_Factor = -(Counter() / LOG(1 - Negatief / (Positief + Negatief)))

and from:

Spanning = ((Negatief + Positief) * (1 - EXP(-Counter / Tijd_Factor)) - Negatief)

to:

Spanning = ((Negatief + Positief) * (1 - EXP(-Counter() / Tijd_Factor)) - Negatief)

Notice how I used parentheses to tell the compiler that I want it to use the result returned by the function, not the value in the "Counter" variable (which is not defined anyway).

Also, looking at the code of your "Counter()" function I see you defined it as of type WORD, which means it is expected to return WORD value as a result, yet inside the function you are returning the value of the local variable "n", which is defined as INT. Again, not a good thing to do. I'd suggest you change the definition of the function to:

SUB Counter(), INT

in order for the program to work as expected.

Hope this helps.

Hello Barney

Thanks for your quickly respons
But there is an problem with endless loop I can't quit the program when I press any key

Hi Stephane!

I just corrected your code a bit and add a few more lines to give you a better idea about what is happening inside your program.

Hope that helps you see better what is happening inside of your program.

I forgot to add a comment.
As you can see in the "log" printed in the console window, the program never goes to the main loop hence the fact that you can't close it after pressing any key as in :

UNTIL INKEY$<> ""
CLOSECONSOLE
END

Hi 'Techno'!

I saw you had commented out "CLI" and "STI" in your code.

However there is a way to use this opcodes under XP and WIN 2000.

You have to set "SeTcbPrivilege" on your machine and "massage" the IOPL priv a little bit which is done by the attached "lib".

ProcessUserModeIOPL setting requires "SeTcbPrivilege"!!
Granting it to current account (admin rights required) takes effect after next login!

Description:
Go into Administrative Tools\Local Security Policy\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment
and there select the "Act as part of the operating system" policy and add your local account.

The exported function in the "SetIOPLto3.lib" is "SetIOPLto3" -Casesensitive!"

Have fan!

Ficko, you don't need to change available privileges. More secure is to execute only your pogram as a service, or directly in SYSTEM account, using the NetScheduleJobAdd function and ITaskScheduler::Run method.

I have attached working assembler example (source requires modified nasm) which uses the task scheduler to switch into system account. Scheduler service should be running.
Tested on XP pro sp3, but without LPT port (laptop). I like coding in nasm, i have used (8 bit) assembler for years.

BTW, you don't need LSA handle, and adjusting TCB privileges, the TCB must be just available - can be disabled, but not deleted.

Ficko

Nice  alternative Sap! ;-)

By the way what you mean by "modified nasm" ?

sapero

Just recompilled it with added support (code) for unicode strings L"blah" and escaped characters like \n \r \x00 \t and \\.
Strings in invoke's are handled by invoke macro. I use it separately with Crimson Editor as the GUI.
