• The execution of the sequence TestStand in LabVIEW via TS - API: execution different times for the same sequence

  Hello - the members of the Forum.

  I have a problem about the execution of a TestStand sequence into LabVIEW. I created a VI that offers the possibility to choose a sequence TestStand-file and then executes the sequence using the TestStand API. The implementation is based on an example in C++-Application found the following link:

  http://forums.NI.com/T5/NI-TestStand/unreleased-references-using-engine-API-in-C/m-p/2927314#M46034

  The app works pretty solid where the VI is executed the first time. The VI treats the sequence chosen in an acceptable time.

  But where execution is started again, the sequence takes approx. 30 sec more than in the first case.

  So far I have not found a solution and hope someones got a clue about this problem...

  I use 2013 LabVIEW and TestStand 2013.

  I enclose my own VI, a sequence of the specimen with a small sample of VI, so you can reproduce the problem.

  Kind regards

• Step by step single run through a sequence TestStand using the API

  Anyone know if it is possible to break a sequence of execution and then simple step during various stages of a sequence using the API TestStand?

  Pause and resume running no problem, but step by step once execution is broken turns out to be illusory.

• Code/sequence TestStand sharing best practices?

  I am the architect for a project that uses TestStand, Switch Executive and LabVIEW code modules to control automated on a certain number of USE that we do.

  It's my first time using TestStand and I want to adopt the best practices of software allowing sharing between my other software engineers who each will be responsible to create scripts of TestStand for one of the DUT single a lot of code.  I've identified some 'functions' which will be common across all UUT like connecting two points on our switching matrix and then take a measure of tension with our EMS to check if it meets the limits.

  The gist of my question is which is the version of TestStand to a LabVIEW library for sequence calls?

  Right now what I did is to create these sequences Commons/generic settings and placed in their own sequence called "Functions.seq" common file as a pseduo library.   This "Common Functions.seq" file is never intended to be run as a script itself, rather the sequences inside are put in by another top-level sequence that is unique to one of our DUT.

  Is this a good practice or is there a better way to compartmentalize the calls of common sequence?

  It seems that you are doing it correctly.  I always remove MainSequence out there too, it will trigger an error if they try to run it with a model.  You can also access the properties of file sequence and disassociate from any model.

  I always equate a sequence on a vi and a sequence for a lvlib file.  In this case, a step is a node in the diagram and local variables are son.

  They just need to include this library of sequence files in their construction (and all of its dependencies).

  Hope this helps,

• How to get the return parameter in sequence teststand ran by labview labview

  Hello

  Executes a test sequence of labview (essentially running "\Examples\TestStand API\Executing sequences using API\LabVIEW\Execute with no Model.vi process") I need to get a parameter returned in 'Settings', after the sequence has run.

  My problem is that I get the value upon registration of the sequence and not the value after execution.

  How?

  

  Vagn

  Vagn,

  in order to obtain the values of the execution, you need access to execution. The following screenshot shows how to access.

  

  Please note that this VI is lying will be called by TestStand. DO NOT USE THIS VI IN A CUSTOM USER INTERFACE!

  Thank you

  Norbert

  EDIT: This dummy code shows how to read the string parameter 'Return '. Each parameter must be read separately with appropriate playback function.

• Run the sequence TestStand silently in c# with report

  Hello

  I use TestStand 2012 SP1 and Visual Studio 2010.

  I want to run a TestStand sequence silently in my c# software.

  I saw on this web site, how to run a TestStand sequence (https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-29585).

  This example is really interresting to know how make it work using the .NET interop API.

  The problem that I can't solve is that no report is created during execution of the sequence, although I added a step to configure the ReportOptions.

  Here, you will find the class that I use to start the TestStand sequence:

  public execution StartSequence (string sequenceFilename, string resultDir, out SequenceFile seqFile)
  
          {
  
              Run exec = null;
  
  Try
  
              {
  
                  The admin user = Engine.GetUser ("administrator");
  
                  Engine.CurrentUser = admin;
  SequenceFile seqFileModel = null;
  
                  StationOptions stationOptions = Engine.StationOptions;
  
                  stationOptions.DisableResults = false;
  
                  stationOptions.AllowOtherModels = true;
  int flags = 107; GetSeqFileOptions.GetSeqFile_OperatorInterfaceFlags;
  
                  seqFile = Engine.GetSequenceFileEx (sequenceFilename, flags, TypeConflictHandlerTypes.ConflictHandler_Prompt);
  bool modelExists;
  
                  String modelPath = seqFile.GetModelAbsolutePath (on modelExists);
  
                  seqFileModel = Engine.GetSequenceFileEx (modelPath, GetSeqFileOptions.GetSeqFile_NoOptions, TypeConflictHandlerTypes.ConflictHandler_Prompt);
  Configure the report options
  
                  int reportOptionCallbackIndex = seqFile.GetSequenceIndex (DefaultModelCallbacks.DefModCback_ReportOptions);
  
                  If (reportOptionCallbackIndex > - 1).
  
                  {
  
                      seqFile.DeleteSequence (reportOptionCallbackIndex);
  
                  }
  
                  Sequence reportGenCallback = seqFile.CreateCallbackOverrideSequence (DefaultModelCallbacks.DefModCback_ReportOptions, false);
  
                  InsertStatementStep (reportGenCallback,

                      "Parameters.ReportOptions.PurgeOnTheFlyResults = True");
  exec = Engine.NewExecution (seqFile, "Single Pass", seqFileModel, false, 0, null, null, null);
  
                  exec. Report.Location = resultDir;
  
              }
  
              catch (Exception)
  
              {

          }

  What's wrong with my code and what should I do to obtain a report related to the only passes?

• Executable test sequence TestStand deployment

  Hello

  I would like to automate my test using TS environment and the BT.

  My goal is to have one machine with the development of TS (Inc. LV) for construction of test software that is compiled in one .exe file to run on the tested machine that does not have TS or LV

  Can I use the software for this task?

  It is for the main development computer:

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  779601 35	NEITHER Developer Suite, English, include 3 years SSP	1
  779602 35	NEITHER Developer Suite Automated Test Option, include 3 years SSP	1

  It is for the machines to run the tests on:

  777774-3505 NI TestStand Base Deployment Engine License 5 unit Bundle

  I would like to have an option to monitor the performance of the tests on each machine and if necessary to perform debugging on the tested machine operations.

  If the package above will provide this capability so where can I find the documentation to create .exe files to run on test computers?

  If not, what software will provide this capability?

  Thank you

  His Lev

  Lev,

  These are the correct packages for TS development and deployment.  The only thing is that you have little debugging with the deployment license features.  If you want to debug, so instead of the deployment license they have licensed TestStand Debug.

  http://www.NI.com/TestStand/deploy-compare/

  More about licenses: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B4B7C4ADB9B21B3F86256D360061891F

  One thing you should realize is that TestStand creates no executables.  Because TS is essentially a scripting language, you deploy the raw files.  These raw files feeding the TestStand engine and execute the steps in order.

  TestStand comes with 10 different (fully customizable) User Interfaces.  What are executables and run above the TestStand engine.  They allow you to run your sequence files (mostly scripts).  You will only need to use 1 of them.  The User Interface is so technically the executable for a deployment machine.

• How can I check the status of the main sequence TestStand?

  I have a main TestStand sequence that calls several subsequences. I want to take a decision at the end of the test to perform a function or not based on any pass/fail criteria for the entire test. If no fail subsequences that I don't want to perform the function that it will do a lot more time to re - test after the Board of Directors is fixed. Basically, I want to follow the same status as TestStand monitors for the end of the test pass/fail indication. Thanks in advance for any help.

  I did some more research through the browser of the expression Tab API TestStand and found a variable that works. It's ThisContext.RunState.Main.SequenceFailed. For my assessment, I am using an IF statement and check if the value is false. If it is while I do my job. If one of my failure of subsequences three it is then set to true and the IF condition evaluates to false and goes to the end function.

• Close popup screen programmatically

  I have a popup screen that I displayed to inform the user that they are wating on entry. When I try to close it in my earpiece method it gives the error:

  IllegalStateException - UiEngineImpl.assertHaveEventLock)

  I push the pop-up screen on the stack using a runnable.invokeAndWait and push as a ModalScreen because otherwise it will not show.

  What is the error of assertHaveEventLock for, and why the window display not using invokeLater and pushScreen?

  The IllegalStateException is thrown because the thread that calls the close method (the listener) is not the thread main event.  Calling the method close must occur in a block, as described on the next page.

• VI LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit elements in a TestStand sequence does not work with a LabVIEW 8.5 run-time engine

  Hi all

  I'm using LabVIEW 8.5.1 and TestStand 4.1. I did a sequence TestStand with a VI in this document, which uses items Report Generation Toolkit. On my machine I use LabVIEW and TestStand development system license. On another machine I use TestStand with basic deployment license and I chose the LabVIEW 8.5 run-time engine in the Configuration of the adapter. Everything works well except this VI with elements of Report Generation Toolkit. The error message shows that the VI is not executable. It works well only after I installed with a trial license and selected LabVIEW LabVIEW 8.5 development system in the Configuration of the adapter.

  I found other posts and a document in the knowledge base with a similar problem: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/8A0E6274D9BD7B1986256F62006AD402?OpenDocument but I am not no EXE files in my sequence, so I do not know how to fix mine. Someone has an idea?

  
  

• Programmatically add a reminder of the sequence in a sequence file

  How to add sequence recalls programmatically to a main sequence?  For example, to configure, I get a table that tells me as the sequence files to run for each test instance.  I want to call these files in sequence as a reminder of the sequence on the main sequence.  I don't want to use the flow regulator because there are a large number of sequences for this ATE, and the test list may develop in the future.

• custom user interface will not close

  Hello

  I have created a custom UI TS, based on the graphic interface delivered simple TS. When I close the user interface, the process remains in the list of windows processes, I can put an end from the windows Task Manager. This only happens if the adapter of LabVIEW is set to Run-Tiime engine. If I select the LabVIEW development system, the GUI will be entirely closed.

• get the limits of the step of a sequence in a labview program

  I am writing a labview program to access the different properties of teststand sequences to automatically enter the data of the sequence for the documentation.

  The step.limits.high property is very difficult to recover from the teststand programmatically sequence by simply using the sequence as input file.

  Does anyone know how to get the limits on a stage in a movie file?

• Engine.ReleaseSequenceFileEx (): modified sequence file handle is not released

  Hello

  Hello all

  I am facing a problem of leaking memory, basically, motor TestStand cache is not cleared. I have a file of main sequence calling a .NET dll. The dll has functions to remove the steps in the sequence "DestinationSequence" in "TXTModify.seq" and insert a new step in the same sequence after that. The operation is performed without flaw and I see that my "Modify.seq" TXT"file has been changed.

  After the transactions are made I am free the "TXTModify.seq" movie file handle by calling Engine.ReleaseSequenceFileEx () on the file of the modified sequence. But as soon as I close my TestStand sequence editor I get WARNING Debug (debug warning screenshot is attached). This waring should not seem like I already deleted my file handle of sequence of the TS engine cache by calling Engine.ReleaseSequenceFileEx ().

  Please help me get rid of this warning. Your generous help or suggestion will be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Concerning

  VDC

  PS: C# .NET source project so all the necessary sequence file are attached. You must keep the file in the sequence to a specific location (create the folder structure)

  Location of TXTModify.seq: \Source_Code\MemoryLeak_SupportFiles\TXTModify.seq d:\Core_ATE_application\Test_Executive_domain (TED)

  Location of HTMLModify.seq: \Source_Code\MemoryLeak_SupportFiles\HTMLModify.seq d:\Core_ATE_application\Test_Executive_domain (TED)

  I'm enjoying what the leak memory has disappeared which is new good infact. On the other hand, I understand that your sequence is not changed. How do you check on that?

  You don't save any changes made to the file. If this is desired?

  You can check the behavior in a simple test:

  Create a new sequence file in the sequence editor, and then save it. Open (in parallel) for example, by default c#-User Interface installed with TestStand editor mode. Load the sequence file it.

  Now, it must be open in the sequence editor as well as in the user interface. In the user interface, add a new step of the action in the sequence. Please note the in the user interface, the file of the sequence is marked with a *-symbol which means there are unsaved changes. Switch to the sequence editor. You will see no change in the sequence.

  Switch to the user interface. Save the file in the sequence. The *-symbol will disappear.

  If you switch to the editor of sequence once again, you get will announce, that the movie file has been changed by an external process. You can now load changes in the sequence editor.

  Question: Is that what you see?

  hope this helps,
