Display dialog popup to step to the sequence type

I have a type of step in LabVIEW with module parameters and variables of the step which must be installed to configure this step. Can I do to display the dialog box pop-up to enter the required values for the time when I drop the step to a new sequence type?

Examples: 1. I have variable TestID of steps which must be installed. Pop-up dialog box is more convenient that is variable and by searching the TestID in the tree.

2. I have one type of step that makes different actions depending on the parameter enum in the LabVIEW module. This is set by default in steptype. I would like the name of the step in my sequence to match the value of the enumeration. Something like RunState.Step.TS.SData.ViCall.Parms ["Update Configuration"]. ArgVal in step step Expression name by default type help and displays the text of the enum as a stage name, when I drop the type of step of the sequence. But change the Configuration parameter update during this step to another value is not followed by changing the name of the step, looks like step default step name the type Expression is evaluated once what stage is created from the step type.

Yes, you can add code to your step type that is called whenever an instance of it is inserted into a sequence. Create a customized type of step step and name it OnNewStep. TestStand will then call this substep whenever a new instance of the step type is inserted into a sequence.

The default expression is evaluated only when the step is inserted, that is correct. I don't know in a way that you could make the name of the step automatically updated based on the value of the parameter of the module planned for it. You could write some kind of tool that updates the names of these steps in a sequence and run that, periodically, but I don't think there's a way to have your code directly from a user action to specify a code module. You can create your own user interface to specify things on the steps by using a publishing step and this edit substep could update the name, but I'm not sure this is a practical solution for your particular use case.

Hope this helps,

  • can see us line numbers next to each step in the sequence file?

    Hello

    I have a file of sequence having 600 steps. I would like to know is there any option to the test to set number for each step in the sequence of line editor so that it is useful for the review.

    Example:

    Krishna,

    If you want just to know the index of a step, this information is displayed at the bottom of the sequence editor in the status bar.  It shows you how many steps there are in the sequence, how you have selected and the index of the selected steps.

    It is also possible to display the information in the view of the steps in a column, if you are ready to create a new column.  Follow the instructions in this KB to see how to create a new column:changing the properties of columns in the viewport of execution TestStand sequence editor.

    One of the types of columns is Index. Just set your column of this type and you'll see step index as shown below.

  • Pass / Fail step post action - option to retest step / fail step / interrupt the sequence on the failure.

  • Use the same code module to multiple steps in the sequence

    Hi all

    I tried to implement a sequence that uses the same code for all steps module in the order, but I'm not returning to it when I need to send it commands.  I got regarding the appellant the VI in a new thread so that it can be executed asynchronously.  I can run the simple sequence and it will indeed open the VI and move to the next step.  When I close the VI manually from the front, the TestStand sequence is completed, as planned.  So it turns out that I have a lot more work.

    My question is how to call the thread separate from the main sequence and other sequences overtime when I need to change the settings.  If I insert a step in the Action, I have to select a file of VI, but from what I can tell, it opens another instance of the file and does not provide an interface with the other asycronously running instance.  My next guess was to use a stage of education, but I was not able to understand how to configure the search string to call the VI settings.  In addition, I don't know how to proceed.  Please notify.

    My intention is to start the module code (asynchronously) VI, run several different subsequences in the main sequence, which call this same VI and edit its settings, close everything and report the results.  If I'm understand how TestStand is supposed to work, please let me know.

    Thank you

    GSinMN

    What I do is use a queue to send data to the asynchronous VI.  So he can run and whatever, but also receive orders from the queue.  I use a motor of Action that contains the reference to queue and sends the commands.  If you really just call the engine of the Action of your sequences.

  • How to read the additional results of each step of the sequence of my main in LabVIEW?

    I'm working on the creation of stylesheets for TestStand reports. I do this by allowing the user to select additional results in every step she wants to see in the report in a LabVIEW edit stage. I can read the names of each stage, like in the picture as an attachment, but I can't access their (children?), additional results.

    I think that I thought about it, I guess that I had tried everything. The solution is something like the joint. Thanks for the suggestion!

  • How to create ProcessModel calculate TOTAL as follows to call the file in the sequence?

    I made a custom operator Interface and I want to support a progress bar for giving the user indicates to what extent this time they represent.   I already have the infrastructure of reminder Setup so that the progress bar will be updated based on a Message from the user of the motor.

    In the process template itself, I put in place a "ProcessModelPostStep" (the purple one) reminder so that after all the steps of the calling sequence file I increment an internal counter and send these data as well as the Message of the user.

    The only missing part is to know how to calculate the TOTAL number of steps in the sequence file calling.  I can get the total number of SEQUENCES defined in the calling file but I how to recursively on each sequence loop excluded from top down by counting all the steps of the sequence of the callee.

    Appreciate any help in getting this last piece in place.

    Thank you!

    I have a better solution in the images below.  The code snippet is the code called by TestStand to introduce recursion.

    The attached code is the recursive call.  It is similar to my first post, but the fixed a bug with the cast of references.

    This should get the total number of step.  The code works under some assumptions:

    1. all called sequences are in the same file in sequence.  (You can add steps to also get the path to the movie file and retrieves the sequence from there.)

    2. There is no asynchronous LabVIEW step in TestStand.  (These are treated as sequence calls into the API, and you must add code to sort.)

  • When the sequence of process template client file is loaded for execution?

    As part of a custom process template I've created, I would like to make a few changes in the sequence of the client before file called by the process template. These changes will be then be restored after the loop finishes USE (I'm changing the sequential model).

    Another thread, I discovered that TestStand sequences cannot be edited structurally once they have been loaded for execution. My question is: what is client sequence template process ' for execution "?

    After some research, I discovered that the sequence of the client file is not locked to prevent changes to the sequence editor until the "Reminder of the main sequence" sequence step call runs in the model process entry point. At this stage, the sequence of the client file is loaded dynamically as the module at this stage.

    However, before this point, there are two places that the file of the client's sequence is used, and I want to assure you that they don't 'load the customer file for execution.  The Runstate.ProcessModelClient property is a reference to the object the client file SequenceFile and exist as soon as the entry point is called. In addition, the engine must know about the sequence of the client file to correctly call reminders of process model. Do any of these things make the movie of 'responsible for performance customer file?

    It boils down to this: can I do safely from the structural changes to my file of sequence of the client during the ProcessSetup and ProcessCleanup?

    According to the information I found in another post (see the comments of Eric_Crank on page 2), it is allowed. However, in this case customers were only make changes to the property Data of the RunState.ProcessModelClient. I want to assure you that I can use the TestStand API on the reference too.

    Also, just FYI, I got this works. I can add steps to the sequence MainSequence customer sequence file of the group stage of installation of the point of entry of the process model via the API TestStand. I ask here if make sure that it is a safe thing to do, and that there is nothing I plan not to.

    Thank you.

    Josh,

    If your sequence allows the option "optimize no concave calls this sequence", the first time the sequence run TestStand stores a copy of the execution of the sequence in a cache associated with running. As long as the sequence is in this cache you can not change, and TestStand considers that the sequence for 'run' file (see the SequenceFile.IsExecuting property). You cannot unload 'enforcement' sequence files (see SequenceFile.CanUnload). Sequences remain in the cache until it is closed. There is no way for you to remove the sequences of this cache, but you can prevent them to be added to the cache by turning off the option "optimize... ». Disabling this option should have no impact on the performance that you call the sequence only once.

  • Parameters specified by step do not match the settings of the sequence

    I just upgraded from Teststand 4.1.1 to 4.2 and have encountered this

    problem during the review of the existing sequence files.

    When I open a file of sequence, select any stage of type sequence call, which calls another sous-séquence

    in a different sequence file, I learned that the parameters used do not correspond to those required.

    To be more precise, in the settings area of the stage, a red exclamation symbol appears at the side of the

    subsequence called step, and the ToolTip is displayed when the mouse pointer is

    hovered over the exclamation point States:

    "Parameters specified by the step do not match the settings of the sequence."

    The ToolTip goes on to explain how to solve this problem by clicking on the exclamation symbol.

    I find also that by deselecting the "Prototype using sequence" tab in step Settings\Module

    solves the problem.

    When the sequence is executed, no problems occur with execution, the test performs correctly.

    Is it possible to clear this error for each sequence call not in one operation?

    Thank you

    Gary.

    My apologies to attach a file of sequence buggy. I forgot to pass a parameter to the LoadPrototype method to preserve existing settings. I have attached a corrected version of the sequence file. I changed to update SequenceCall not only because of potential problems, reloading the DLL prototypes.

    I would try to explain why you see cela TestStand 4.2. The additional results feature, we added to TestStand 4.1 needs to know what parameters are entered, output and input/output (i.e. what settings is pass by reference). Before TestStand 4.1, step of calling sequence does not store this information but rather dynamically got it and it appears in the column how go. Now that we store the past by reference with the step option, you can have an inconsistency between the option stored in step and the current setting of the sequence called. This inconsistency affects only additional results and not execution. TestStand 4.1, the sequence editor to not warn you on these inconsistencies. We have added the TestStand 4.2 warning so that you will have the correct information for additional results.

    When TestStand 4.1 or 4.2 load a file of sequence from a pre-version 4.1 version, TestStand sets cervical optionally reference true for all parameters in the call sequence steps. This is why you see the warning for any sequence calling step created TestStand 3.5 If no parameters are not passing by reference. You can also see the problem if you change the option collar called a reference parameter in the sequence.
