Known problems

When I read a date I get a hexadecimal string for example "07E40205030B391200000002" I would like to know how to convert this string into a date in C# and python
the solutions proposed for this same problem do not work for me

Hi,

You can use GXDLMSClient.ChangeType to convert byte array to date-time.
Something like:

GXDateTime dt = (GXDateTime) GXDLMSClient.ChangeType(YOUR_BYTE_ARRAY_VALUE, DataType.DateTime);

There is an error on the clock status (The last byte in your hex string). The value is 2 and it's not used (reserved) in DMLS standard. Convert works, but that status state is lost.

BR,
Mikko
