export of custom code C data type

Hello

I wonder, in TestStand, is there a way I can export a customized data type to the type C struct definition?

I use TestStand 4.2

Thank you.

Peggy

You will need to make a series of API calls, I think.

I suppose that you have an active container with passing C struct type, otherwise you will have no subproperties in C data types match. Then the following API functions should help you:

  • GetNumSubProperties gives you the subproperties number in the type of container. Then you can make a loop on them. For each

    • GetNthSubPropertyName to get the name of the Member in the type of container.
    • GetStructMemberType gives you the type C, a subproperty maps to.
    • GetStructMemberStringBufferSize, GetStructMemberStorage and GetStructMemberArrayStorage tell you, how structs and arrays are stored in the container (inline, pointers...)
  • GetStructPacking gives you the padding byte used to pass the struct. For Visual C++, for example, this can be translated into a #pragma pack surrounding the type.

I think you need to use standard Win32 file operations to actually write the information in a header file, as the built-in functions of WriteFile of TestStand write AFAIK TestStand file formats.

Maybe someone knows an easier way. Hope that helps, anyway.

  • "Not a valid error code" when you create a shared variable of data type custom

    I am trying to create a shared variable with a data type of a 2d double table. I created a custom control that contains a table with a numeric type for this 2d. Manager of distributed system v12 I select 'add a variable', then select 'of the custom control. Once select my control I get the following error: "invalid data type. You want to choose a different data type. Any advice as to why it doesn't work? Thank you.

    This seems to be recorded in the CAR #405941.  All this is a bit strange, but I'll try better possible workaround solutions I can.  I tested a large number of these myself, and here is what I found.

    1. make sure that the custom control you did was created in 2012 of LabVIEW or you save it in an earlier version.  If you save on an earlier version, you may also open the .ctl in LabVIEW 2012 and resave it (I needed to do).  I tried to create my own control in 2012, as well as save the control to a previous version, the two worked, but I don't end up with the same result (I don't understand this, but I wanted to mention it so that you know).

    2. it seems that you are able to make the variable shared by program by modifying the example of the community to adapt to your needs.  If you do not need to create many variables it may be the best option if it works for you.

    I would also try adding the variable of the LabVIEW project, you are working on that.  It wasn't a direct troubleshooting step but there are several ways of doing things in LabVIEW and, sometimes, one of them is working while the other does not.

  • Using film as a data type time codes?

    I work in the film, and I was hoping to use numbers to help me create quotes for a VFX project (based on cost per second). I tried to create a custom data type, and it works almost out of an important obstacle. -That, even if he is HOURS: MINUTES: seconds, DURING which it is not no matter what equivalent of FRAMES (which are usually 24, 25 or 30 depending on what video format you are working in).

    I use Adobe Premiere to export a list of lots of files under a CSV file, which are fine numbers. However, manipulate these data is - I would say - impossible without the support of the video time code. Anyone working on a solution for this? Or is there a suggestion feature to me link to forward this to the team of numbers?

    Thank you very much

    You can give your comments and suggestions to the numbers > provide comments numbers in your menu.

    But everything first, perhaps you could post more details of your problem, what your imported data looks like and what result you want.

    If the imported data includes a column for the frames I think you can convert that.  In all cases, the specifics would help.

  • Causing problems of custom data type to deploy the shared target RT variable

    I seem to have some difficulty in using a shared variable published network created from a customized data type when it is deployed as an executable on a target of cRIO RT.  I'll start by describing why I think that this is the rub.  I created my RT VI in the LabVIEW (LV 2012) development environment and everything works fine.  This VI is quite simple, because these were quickly devolved into an exercise in debugging.  The RT VI begins by simply flashing the LED to a couple of times and then starts a loop simple acquisition to read some values out of the material using the analytical engine (while still flashing the LED of the user).  After reading the material, the values are grouped in a cluster and written in a shared variable published to the network defined by a custom control type def.  The custom control contains five floats double precision.  If it's important, the RT cRIO system hosts the shared variable in this case.

    So I have that deploy in the development environment, and everything works fine.  The LED flashes merrily along, telling me that the program runs correctly.  Running a VI host who reads the shared network has published variable gives the desired result.  Everything is good.

    Now, I want the cRIO system to run this simple program by itself at startup.  I build, set it as start VI, deploy it, and then restart the cRIO target.  The LED never flashing... the VI doesn't seem to work.  I'll spare you the major part of the work of debugging and access to the end.  I basically "diagram Disabled" various sections of the code up to the VI began to run correctly in an executable file.  I kept reducing the size of the disabled code until something has been disabled: the writing in the shared variable for the custom data type.

    So, I guess my question is this: are custom data types defined by type def would be personalized orders authorized executables to RT?  I read through the cRIO Developers Guide, my book of development in real time course of NOR and the white paper using shared Variables and I see nothing that forbids it.  I know that there are things not allowed in the executable files that are allowed in the development environment (property nodes façade, dialogue live, operating system specific calls, etc.), but no mention of the shared variable type custom data.  Any ideas as to why my VI is running in the development environment, but does not update unless I have delete the entry on the published network variable shared?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    You must disconnect the data types of variables and then recompile. You can find it useful to keep on disk, a copy of the original lvlib.

    Don't know if this is a bug or not. It was suggested by someone in the forum that putting the ctl files in the right position (the disk? in the draft?) would allow the rtexe start; I did a quick check and it didn't work then I dropped the tests more far.

  • How to delete a line item / of a custom Data Type?

    Hi all

    I can't tried to delete a line of a custom data type.

    As you will see in the code below I add a line to an array of Type (this is done several times). I then loop through each row in the type of array and pass it the id in a separate function. Once it is I so need to remove this item from the array Type - that's where I think my syntax is wrong because I get an error "ORA-00903: invalid table name.

    Clear code
     DELETE FROM TABLE(CAST(l_DeleteList AS TEMP_DOCVERSIONID_TABLE)) WHERE docVersionID = l_DocVersID;
    Complete code
    l_DeleteList.extend;
    l_DeleteList(l_DeleteList.last) := DOCVERSIONID(l_DocVersID);
    
    .......................
    
    select count(*) INTO v_count FROM TABLE(CAST(l_DeleteList AS TEMP_DOCVERSIONID_TABLE));
      -- loop temp table and delete document versions
      WHILE v_count > 0
      LOOP
      BEGIN
        SELECT docVersionID INTO l_DocVersID FROM TABLE(CAST(l_DeleteList AS TEMP_DOCVERSIONID_TABLE)) WHERE ROWNUM = 1;
        DeleteSingleDocumentVersion(l_DocVersID);

      END;
      END LOOP;
    Thanks in advance,

    Trim element removes it from the end of the collection... but you are a loop of the collection from the first to the last clue.

    If you use delete then the item is deleted but index still exists... then array.last and County are not equal...

    You can use something as shown in this example (rather than use a time loop on many items)... after deleting an item to browse a table...

  • Custom data type

    We use a custom data type container and add variables to use in the sequence inhabitants.

    It seems that the field of the local variable names having to match domain names that they have seized originally in the custom data type container.

    We want to reuse the custom several times in the sequence container for data type and would like to have descriptive field names of their use, which changes throughout the sequence.

    Is it possible to just rename the names of the fields of a local variable is of the type, data type container custom, while maintaining the field names the original custom data type container?

    With the help of TestStand 2013

    Thank you

    Hi CC57,

    I also recommend trying a templateVariable. You can use this to create a container with a particular name that you can copy in various places in the variable pane and change the names of the properties of confined there.

  • DLL custom data type

    I try to use a DLL in LabView that talks about an acquisition card. One of the functions requires a custom data type (MID2250_MDConfig_t) that LabView does not support by default. It is defined in the C header file as follows:

    typedef struct
    {
    int CoordsX;
    int CoordsY;
    } MID2250_PointCorrds_t;

    typedef struct
    {

    unsigned short u32SADThresholdValues [4];
    unsigned short u32MVThresholdValues [4];
    unsigned short u32SensitivityValues [4];
    } MID2250_MDConfig_t;

    Is there a way I can integrate this data type in LabView correctly. I saw people talking about wrapper dll on this forum but I'm a bit confused as to who. Can I create a similar cluster in LabView and pass it to the function using "node of the library call?

    Since the tables are all fixed size (and not huge), they really are inline in the structure. This means that you can simulate a cluster containing many elements inside because it is the elements of the array. The first Point of the UL would be a cluster containing 4 cluster with each two int32 in it. Ditto for the second element. The third is a cluster with 4 uInt32 and so on.

    Then configure the setting to adjust the type and thread this cluster, and voila.

  • Where to define new custom data types?

    Hello

    In the past (TS 3.5) I created our own range of custom type file that has been used

    to store the new data types and then referred the case to other colleagues. The file would be

    stored in the ...\Program Files\...\User area.

    My question arose because we now use the TS 4.1/4.2, which is no longer a separate

    Directories of NOR and user in \Program Files.

    Because now I want to change an existing custom data type, I find that our range of custom type has

    fallen by the way side, forgotten.

    Even though I can see the custom data definitions within the sequence of type files that use

    custom data types, which means that I can edit them locally, I intend to return to

    a range of custom type, i.e. comprehensive definition.

    What is the relationship between the definitions in a range of custom type and custom data

    definitions of type of a file of sequence?

    When a palette to update file a file of sequence?, who takes over in the event of conflicts?

    is a really necessary sequence files palette file if they are separated by using the same custom data type

    can update the other? What is good practice when defining custom types of data?

    Thank you

    Gary.

    Hey guys,.

    This is a very interesting thread, and I've got everything right, in heart, with advice given so far. I just wanted to offer some additional tips on the conflicts of kind - with more response, the initial question concerning the definition of what is priority in case of conflict.

    It is important to note that TestStand uses type names and version numbers to identify the different types. It is also important to note that when you use a definition of type of customers within a sequence, the sequence (.seq) file containing the sequence will keep a copy of the type definition. This greatly facilitates distributed sequence files. However, it also opens the door to potential conflicts type.

    TestStand allows only one type of unique name to be loaded into memory at any given time, so that it uses the number of versions of the type to try to resolve these conflicts automatically. For example, TestStand can be configured to load any type is the largest version number (note that this can be changed via the tab Preferences dialog box Options of Station).

    All this information and more are found in the following tutorials...

  • Removal of the custom by TestStand 4.0 data types

    Hello! I use the custom in my TestStand sequence data type. This data type is derived from my own control and is a huge cluster of clusters. It is created in a file of sequence (and not in any *.ini). By changes in the sequence, it becomes necessary to delete existing custom data type and create a new one due to changes in the custom control. How can I remove custom data types?

    I n ' found any possibility to do in Teststand menus. It was not so important, if the custom data type was not so huge.

    Thank you in advance for your answer - maybe it's a workout if no direct solution?

    Hello

    Just see the Type of data in the file in the sequence and highlight the custom data type it, then delete it.

    (Please make sure that you do not have variables defined in your file of sequence that still use the data type you want to remove).

  • Modification of the data types of the custom shared variables

    My application includes a library containing a number of shared single process variables. I use type defs to create the shared variable "of the custom control." I know that shared variables do not-automatic update since the type defs, so I'm updating shared variables (data type, do a right click, properties) whenever I update the type definitions.  However, if I make a change to a type design that does not change the data type, for example to change the labels controls, these changes will be reflected in the shared variable.  The data types of variable window shared list contains entries for each previous update, which indicates he uses the previous entries.  How can I make the window of properties of shared variables 'forget' my previous defs type wandering without deleting the variable total? Withdrawal and replacement would be troublesome because the done variable references throughout my project.

    Thank you

    Wes

    The variable is not in the Distributed System Manager, or Manager of the Variable, and cancellation of the deployment has not been resolved.  However, I found Labview from closing completely and reboot clears the memory of the previously used custom data types that sees the library.  Thus, the effective workaround I found is:

    1 make a significant change to the data type of the type (per your suggestion) FED. Record.

    2 - redefine the variable screw-notice type FED.

    3. save the project. Close and restart labview.

    4 - the old def type is now disabled.

    5. return the significant change of the def type, implement trivial change and save.

    6 redefine the variable using the type correct now def. Viola!

    Thank you!
