I’m having difficulty getting the FrontPanel dll to load properly in Matlab. I get the following:
loadlibrary(‘okFrontPanel’, ‘okFrontPanelDLL.h’);
Warning: Warnings messages were produced while parsing. Check the functions you
intend to use for correctness. Warning text can be viewed using:
[notfound,warnings]=loadlibrary(…)

Looking through old posts, I saw that others have faced this same problem (see Matlab API thread) and that it was caused by having an out-of-date or incompatible set of files (API, dll, dll’s .h and .cpp). Although these posts had responses with updated files, the posts are now 4 plus years old, so the files are likely out of date again, and the file is corrupted. Any suggestions?
I have several different versions of various of the files (see below) as I am working with code that a collaborator created a few years ago (that was based on an older dll, .h, and .cpp) and also have code from the CD with our recently purchased board. I have tried basically all combinations of the following dlls, .h, and .cpp files, and although I get some additional warnings with some of these combinations, with all of them I get the two warnings described above. I don’t know if it’s related, but if I try to go past this step, for example in ok_getdevicelist to
calllib(‘okFrontPanel’, ‘okUsbFrontPanel_Construct’);
I get a null pointer… The Front Panel software is installed and the board connected to the computer in question. I’ve tried the first Front Panel sample and that works fine. Ideas?
