Hello,
I'm trying to get a program running, which sets the Alarm Time of the VFD (iMONVFD_SetAlarmON), so that I can shutdown my system and it gets wakeup by the VFD. I found some programs on the internet on how to do this and I was able to compile and link everything - but now I'm at a point where help from an expert is necessary: I don't get past the initialization of the DLL
This is part of my code:
if ( !iMONVFD_IsInited() )
{
if ( iMONVFD_Init(0x4, 0x8888, 0) )
{
and so on...
iMONVFD_Init never returns a true ... as well as iMONVFD_isInited
I'm not sure about 3 things:
1) if I pass the right parameters (having the 2 line VFD)
2) I'm not using MP to handle the VFD - it's done by iMON itself. So I copied my program
to the installation folder of iMON. Is that the right place ?
3) If I do like described in 2), shouldn't iMONVFD_IsInited return already a true ?
Would be great to get some help.

Well, I got past this point. If I close iMON then I get access to the display and my text is diplayed as well ... Looks like only one programm can handle the display at one time.
.. but the system didn't wake up at the specified time which I have set with iMONVFD_SetAlarmON (return value of this function was "true")
2 new questions:
1) Are there any other procedures I have to use so that the system wakes up ? (Using Version 6.....)
2) If I use the timer function of iMON, the display changes between the actual date/time and the
next wake-up time. Any ideas how to manage this ?
Mh, wouldn't it be possible to have this function directly in MP ?
