Launch FB separately without IDE [message #1783158]

Hi,

I am a beginner in programming and I want to call FB in my solution in Visual Studio.

So, I was wondering is that possible if I launch FORTE, call FB and get data output in solution without the help of 4DIAC-IDE?

If it is possible? How to launch FB and get the output?

Thank you for your assistance!

Best Regards,
Alice

Hi,

as our function blocks are in FORTe in the end just c++ classes it is in principle possible. you can write a small c++ program where you instantiate your FB and then invoke the receiveInputEvent method. Accesing the in and outputs is a little bit cumbersome.

However we have a FB testing infrastructure in C++ which you can find in the test directory. This helps you with that. You can have a look at the files in the tests/stdfblib/events directory to see some examples.

I hope this helps.

But definitly more convinient is the FB tester of the 4diac-ide.
