• Change the limit step programmatically in TestStand 3.1

  Hello guys and girls.

  I got a small task for TestStand 3.1 and I don't know how to do this.

  I want to programmatically change the limit of step (multiple numerical limit test) for a step before it is executed. How can I do this? I read that someone suggested to use a step ActiveX to access limits:

  http://forums.NI.com/T5/NI-TestStand/equivalent-to-step-limits-low-NumericFormat-in-TestStand-3-1/TD...

  «TestStand 3.1 can't API calls in expressions (I think that this feature has been added in 4.0 TestStand).» You must instead use a step ActiveX. You can use an ActiveX not configured to call into PropertyObject.NumericLimit and call him on Limits.Low of the step you want to set the property. »

  I am, however, not sure how exactly to proceed since I've never used the ActiveX components in TS before.

  If anyone has the code examples (or write), I would be very grateful.

  As mentioned in this thread, you can certainly change the limits in your version. Read it back.

  p.s. in the future, please post to the Board TestStand and LabVIEW.

• Error-63101 when executing the FPGA Interface C API Generator in LabVIEW 2012

  I'm using LabWindows CVI 2012 and 2012 LabVIEW FPGA module.  I try to use the FPGA Interface C API generator and I get the following error from a freshly generated .lvbitx bitfile.  I use the local server compiles on my PC.

  Error-63101

  NOR-RIO: A valid .lvbitx bitfile is required. If you are using a valid .lvbitx bitfile, the bitfile maybe isn't compatible with the software you use. Determine which version of LabVIEW was used to make the bitfile, upgrade your software to this version or later, and then try again.

  The problem occurs when executing CVI or LabVIEW.  I was able to do this earlier when I was compiling the FPGA in LabVIEW with the API generator 2011 downloaded from the Web site.

  A bit of weirdness in my setup, it's that I charged it off downloads from the website (latest files after 2012 NIWeek) rather than the normal distribution DVD.  I installed LabVIEW, so NI RIO, then the Xilinx tools compatible with 2012.  It works very well when you talk to the FPGA to a LabVIEW vi running on my Windows PC to the host.

  Any suggestions?

  Problem solved.  I had to download FPGA Interface C API generator 12.0.  It works now.

  I would have thought that if a product was called on the menu in LabVIEW 2012, it would be prompted to upgrade to a compatible version, when I installed LabVIEW.  The old version is not compatible with version 3.0 bitfiles, as identified on the following lines at the top of the .lvbitx file:

• How do Parameters.Result used as a reminder? How is it different from Parameters.Step.Result?

  Hello

  I searched reference manuals TestStand, help and the forums, and I have not yet found exactly how Parameters.Result should be used in callbacks (if at all).

  I am trying to find a way to take a step that normally is not registered in the list of results and force it to appear on the rare occasions that it will fail. I think I should use the result, but I don't know how.  If I set Parameters.Step.RecordResult = True, then the step attaches to record results, but which seems to be permanent in the sequence file, and AFTER THAT failure becomes declared.

  Thank you for your expert help!

  -Gizmogal

  By browsing the SequenceFilePostResultListEntry I finally discern the difference between Parameters.Step.Result and Parameters.Result, which is visible at run time:

  Parameters.Result has a TS container, which refers to the stage, giving information such as StepGroup, StepName, StepType, among others. Its results-oriented properties are identical to the Parameters.Step.Result properties, I can say.

  Parameters.Step.Result has a container TS large type TEInf that seems to be the test information administration.

  There seems little back than I expected, but that's it.

  I'm partially through to shift my paradigm - save all the results and then throw those no interest. I ended up adding a status string 'RecordAlways' to force certain steps to record each time, and I throw any which are not equal to or 'Pass', 'Fail', 'Error' or 'done '. It works pretty well so far.

  Thanks again for your help!

• Is there a way to determine the equivalent ANSI C code of a Labview project?

  I'm a complete newbie to Labview.  I have this quite complex Labview project that was used to create a DLL that matlab may call to order my card PCI-6534 without having to know NIDAQmx calls.

  I am trying to find how to make these calls directly from Matlab NIDAQmx, but I do not get the same results when I call this DLL mentioned above, so I thought I would try to give a sense Labview projects live I begins to make sense of the general economy of the screw, but I would like to be able to run the project , step through it and perhaps see NIDAQmx orders (or something equivalent, so I can determine how to call NIDAQmx commands in Matlab).

  Is this possible to do?

  Thank you

  Jason

  Yes. The toolbar allows you to turn on highlighting so that you can run the VI and see the content of the son. You can put sensors on the wires. You can single-step through the code. This is explained in the help of LabVIEW under Fundamantals-> running and debugging screw-> Concepts-> Debugging Techniques.

  In what the question implied in the title of your message, don't you can directly convert LabVIEW C code in the development environment. Yes, there are tools to convert LabVIEW in C, but which is intended for microprocessors.

• How to add contacts to the step program using the API?

  Need to add contacts at the stage of program by using APIs. We know that we can list the programs and the program steps using the REST API (assets/programs and assets/program/step). But REST GET only operation is now available (correct me if I'm wrong). Is it possible to add contacts to a program step (SOAP or REST - is irrelevant)?

  You can assign the Contact to a Contact via the API group, and then use a charger to enter Contacts into the program.

• Definition of the parameters of the VI in LabView Action Module with TestStand API

  I started playing with the API, TestStand, and I have questions on how to configure a TSAdp.LabViewModule.

  I use a few examples of NOR and the community of developers to get started:
  http://www.NI.com/example/30263/en/
  https://decibel.NI.com/content/docs/doc-18401

  These examples work as I expect and I understand them.  I am struggling with how to specify VI parameter values in the module when the step type is 'Action '.  In other words, how to set these parameters?

  

  All the examples I see use of step types that have defined fields, which are accessible through the API with 'AsPropertyObject '.  The action type, by default, has the result field.

  Set the values of the parameters of a VI with the API TestSTand?  If so, how?

  Thank you

  Well, I thought about it on my own so I figure I'd share the solution:

  I agree that it's frustrating.  I had the same problem recently.

  You should post it in the forums of idea: http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand-Idea-Exchange/idb-p/teststandideas

  Or you can change the sequence that generates these and include parameters.  The source so that it is in: \Components\Tools\DocGen

• Loading limits for a dynamic step name using the shipper of the property

  Hello

  I'll have a stage whose name is upadted in a loop based on the index of the loop by using the 'Step.Name' API For this step, I'm trying to load limits using the stage property loader. One reason for the first iteration of the loop works, but for the next iteration, it is unable to load the property lines.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Kind regards

  River

  test the following example

• Business Catalyst: Can I access the CRM extended through the API BC database?

  Hello!

  I'm trying to integrate our Business Catalyst with Salesforce account so that Business Catalyst handles all of our Web site and email marketing while Salesforce manages our sales data. I am trying to use a program called Podbox (that uses the API to maintain databases of synchronization), but can only the limited amount of lack of access, coordinated and none of my custom fields of BC. Does anyone know of a workaround for that all of my custom fields are visible via the API? Or are they available through the API and it would be a problem with Podbox? I tried to search in the documentation, but couldn't find much on the extended CRM database.

  Thanks for any help!

• Hide icon Label step using the API Testand and LabVIEW

  Hello

  can someone tell me how it is possible to hide the icon of a step label using the API Testand and LabVIEW?

  In the Teststand sequence editor, under the Label Edit tab there is a checkbox called "Hide icon". Is there something similar in the API?

  Thank you

  Yes you can, you must set the stage "ni_blank.ico" IconName property

  

• ProcessModelPostStepFailure find the parameters of Type Step

  Hi all

  I was wondering if anyone can help. I create a custom process based on the single template or sequential model col. I am currently working on a popup that will appear in the reminder of "ProcessModelPostStepFailure". It shows the operator the results of tests and allow them to select retest, Ingore failure or leave. I have almost all the features I want, however I want to know what kind of step failed (action, test of numerical limit...), so I can display the results in a more meaningful way. Does anyone know how to get this property ideally labview but if not a statement of TestStand would be great.

  I have attached an image that may better explain what I'm after

  Thank you very much

  It is best to do in TS and pass to your VI.  You can use Parameters.Step.StepType.Name.  It will not assess properly at the time of publishing, but it will work at run time.

  Hope this helps,

• Engine step doesn't fail before reaching its physical limits for the sinusoidal movement

  Hello

  My ultimate goal is to skip a XY (via 2 linear actuators) in a circular motion (radius of 0.47 ") at a frequency of 1 Hz. I run the example VI 'Demo circle' which received my copy of LabView, version 9.0.

  The problem I encounter is that given the physical limitations of the engine and the drive motor, the task should technically be feasible (see calculation *). However, even when the engines are completely discharged (no not attached to anything whatsoever), they start missing steps away from my final goal. I'm only able to reach a radius of 0.2 "(vitesse de pointe de 1.25" / seconde). "

  My question; Is the system set up incorrectly or is my final goal unrealistic, given performance reductions inevitable due to software/hardware?

  I apologize for the naivety of this question, but if there is any information that you may provide which might shed some light on this problem, I would be very happy.

  Possible theories:

  Torque is decreased more at high speeds because of microstep

  A closed loop system would improve performance at high speed

  The VI 'Demo circle' is not the best method to create a circle

  The acceleration is the limiting factor, not speed

  * RADIUS = 0.47 "

  Maximum speed = (RADIUS * 2 * pi) * cos(2 * pi)

  Maximum speed = 2.9 "/ second"

  System:

  LabView v9.0

  PCI-7340

  open loop configuration

  MID-7604

  1 4 a per axis

  10 micro steps

  Linear actuator (form is attached)

  NEMA 17 ordered by motor (sold by ultra-motion).

  Maximum speed of 3.3 inches per second

  1. 2A voltage coil

  1.8º step angle

  Kind regards

  Nick

  Nick-

  I really wonder the max speed in the datasheet.  0,0833 "/ to 3.3" rev / s = about 40RPS (2400 RPM), which is extremely fast for a motor, especially at 24VDC.  Know exactly what engine is on the cylinder and go to www.applied-motion.com and you should be able to find curves of torque for that or a similar engine with various readers.  You will see that couple to 24VDC curves are not good.  In addition, ask Ultramotion if their speed/strength curve is theoretical, or tests have been conducted.
