Description

Version information

Operating system: Windows 10 + Visual Studio .Net

It seems that the hackrf_scan.exe is now working without crashing the device. That is great!

However, to better use the HackRF sweep functionality in custom made software, it would be much nicer to have this tool as a DLL,, so that the sweep could be requested from i.e. a VB .net/C# .net application and the sweep data be read directly into an array.

Currently, I would have to use the "shell()" command, which is less than optimal.

Thanks,
Vitor

Research direction

The request targets hackrf_sweep.exe and its sweep data, but names no source files, entry points, or tests. Start by reviewing how the executable currently exposes sweep functionality and data; done would mean a .NET-compatible DLL that VB.NET or C# applications can call to receive sweep data directly instead of using shell().
