free step reference acquired by GetStepByName

Hello

Get a reference to a step object by calling GetStepByName. Aid said: "release the reference to object when you are finished. However it is not said how to release him. I can't find a function like ReleaseStep in the API. It goes the same for GetSequenceByName. Is there a global function to release these objects?

I use GetSequenceFile in the same application, and I can release its reference using ReleaseSequenceFile. However, it is not an equivalent function to release references step and sequence, or at least I couldn't find it.

I am currently working on the customer site and appreciate quick answers.

See you soon...

TestStand uses COM objects and the GetStepByName function returns a COM object.

'release the object reference when finished' should be done using IUnknown::Release to the COM object.

Object returned by GetSequenceFile file sequence reference is a special case where you call the ReleaseSequenceFile function both IUnknown::Release.

However, in many languages, there is a smart class that serves as a wrapper for the underlying COM object. Ex: CComPtr.  These smart classes will do the job of the call to release function and you do not have to expliclity call IUnknown::Release.

Also note that, if you use GetStepByName, GetSequenceFile or GetSequenceByName in the expression of TestStand and store the reference to an instance of an object reference variable, you should not call IUnknown::Release function since TestStand automatically calls IUnknown::Release for you.

  • Free Dell reference with mobile Xbox scam

    I just spent the last hours 3 is pulled around Dell because their online free Xbox offer is fraudulent.  I hung up by the harshest supervisor, told by the main receptionist that she would not transfer me the Sales Department and then recalled withholding of 15 minutes later.  They post a price for the transaction (1399,99) and then add the Xbox in the basket at full price hoping you won't notice.  I have screenshots, impression of the chat dialog box and I hope that 2 hours of taped conversation where he also argued that the $100 discount offers for the PC more than $999 that doesn't expire until June 28 had expired somehow...

  • Steps/reference to upgrade node 4 RAC 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.4

    Hello

    I could not find note oracle good to know the steps of upgrade 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.4 on cluster of CARS for the node 7.1 4 AIX. Could some one note/links summary, if has?

    Upgrade of the GRID:

    Normally, we use to install 11.2.0.4 binary GRID at separate and then upgrade as 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.4. How can we do this and how do we upgrade all clustered components that point to the old GRID home (11.2.0.2) to newly installed HOME (11.2.0.4)?

    RDBMS upgrade:

    We install the new HOME for 11.2.0.4 and then we run carupgrade to upgrade the DB to 11.2.0.4. But how to change the cluster resources of RDMBS than HOME (11.2.0.2) of old points to 11.2.0.4.

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions and referring to any web link would be useful for me to read in more detail in this.

    Kind regards

    Hi kumarsk,

    your proposed update of grid and RDBMS are exactly what will be out of place update. The docs on this are available on the website of oracle as usual:

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/install.112/e41961/procstop.htm#CWLIN417

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/server.112/e23633/upgrade.htm#UPGRD003

    1. check that your environment is ready with cluvfy with a command similar to this:

    ./runcluvfy.sh stage pre - crsinst-upgrade to cars - n-test1, test2-rac-rolling - src_crshome /oracle/11.2.0/grid-dest_crshome /oracle/11.2.0/grid4-dest_version 11.2.0.4.0 - verbose

    2. run the installer of the grid 11.2.0.4 software and chose the upgrade option. That will install the software in a new home. Your old cluster will remain online until the point was that you run the script rootupgrade.sh on the first node. The upgrade continues to roll, your db will remain available with sessions of failover to other nodes. Do this for all 4 nodes and finish the Setup program later.

    11.2.0.4 handles transfer all files required including travel of Auditors. Of course, you should always apply some controls yourself from the environment to ensure that everything is just right.

    3. start the 11.2.0.4 db Installer choose only the software and install it in the new House.

    4. turn to level the databases one by one with dbua new home installed. The dbua will take care of registration of the db with the new values for oracle_home, etc in the clusterware.

    If you want to do the db upgrade manually, you can pass parameters in the cluster registry by running "srvctl upgrade database d xxx o new_oracle_home". You run this command from the database new home.

  • Store the Teststand ActiveX reference in the LV shift register

    It is posted here

    I'm trying to store the references TestStand ActiveX in a shift register not initialized a VI.  In my case, the references are passed into the TestStand VI (not created from in VI).  If I call the same VI to the next step (same sequence and execution of the previous step), since the shift register ActiveX references are not valid.

    The VI remains reserved to run during these two stages and is not unloaded from memory, so the shift register data should remain intact (in fact, the numerical values of the references are actually kept).  LabVIEW is still trying to close any ActiveX reference, even if they were not created from the VI?  Is there a way around this problem?  Or I'm just something wrong?

    jsiegel-

    In general, when the code is passed a COM reference and code is to keep the reference to a global or shift register, even after his return from the call, the code must add a reference to the object so that the object server knows that the object must be destroyed not. It is also the responsibility of the code that fits on the reference in the world or a register shift to release the reference to the object when it is no longer necessary.  LabVIEW is not different from any other language.

    So, here are more details. TestStand application LabVIEW for run the VI, TestStand after the reference as a parameter to the method of the server to run the LabVIEW VI. COM creates a proxy for reference and give the reference of proxy for the code module. Your VI then stores the value of the proxy reference in the global or the shift register. When your VI ends and returns to TestStand, COM releases the proxy reference, the value in the global or the shift register is no longer valid.

    Basically, you need to add or duplicate the reference to the object passed in LabVIEW by calling the VariantToData function. Pass the existing reference, set the input type to the same type of the reference, and the result will be the reference in doubles. You can assign the double reference to worldwide or register.

    Normally you must well to release the reference later by reading the value of the global or shift register, explicitly calling the function close reference with which to reference, and then assign A Refnum Constant stepped up to the global level or shift register to nullity. In the case of a module of code, I believe that when TestStand unloads the VI, LabVIEW frees the reference correctly. If this isn't the case, you will get a debug message to unpublished during the TestStand stop object if you have this option enabled.

  • How to end execution programmatically?

    Hello

    I have a high level of sequence that bunch of calls of sequences in a new run one after the other (I chose to wait for execution to complete before running the next step ). I noticed that once an execution has been completed, it frees all memory acquired (I am observing it using performance monitor). This causes a memory leak large and finally Teststand hangs when it occupies 1300 MB of RAM. How can I force teststand to put an end to a writ of execution before starting a new run. I'll try to post an example as soon as I can. Thanks in advance.

    To do a few extra things to get rid of results after each run. Here is a list to make sure you get all the:

    (1) move your new execution sequence, call in its own Subsequence - this is necessary because a new reference is stored as a local hidden variable in which the appeal of the sequence order is in and you want to run go, to return from the sequence, making the call for you ensure that this happens.

    (2) you need to check the setting of "close the window when finished" on the Panel of appeal advanced sequence for the new call the sequence is run - once again, you want to run and go after it's done, then you must make sure that you're not he keep open anywhere.

    (3) make sure that you disable the definition stage of the results of recording on the new call of execution sequence - if you don't do this, then all execution results will be added to the call of the sequence and you will always use a lot of memory even if the execution goes.

    Hope this helps,

  • Can I have the user enter a variable that will be used to Signal Express?

    We seek to use the Signal Express to collect data of analog sensors and load cells. We would like the user to be able to enter a variable that the program Express of Signal can act on. Is it possible within Signal Express?

    Hello

    When you select 'Change destination', it will fill with all stage settings that are supported for the given control used.  Not all the steps or step settings are able to be adjusted when the operator mode.  That is why you were only able to bind controls to step DAQmx Acquire and filter (they are only available to bind in your configuration steps settings).  The forumla node is not able to reference an entry of order of the operator interface. You must manually configure the formula tab of configuration step for that particular step.

    I would recommend if you want that more customized the user interface and approach programming using an application development environment.  Signal Express is ideal for acquisition of signals and perform analysis and basic treatment, but if you want more functionality LabVIEW would be a better option.

    Your hard drive is failing, fast (these things last forever). You need to replace as soon as POSSIBLE. If you have important data on what cannot be replaced I suggest you plug it into another computer as an external drive and pulling all the data you need it off.

    If you do not have the possibility to connect the drive directly on another PC, you can download a live Linux CD/USB.

    Step 1: Acquire a blank CD or USB. If you use a USB port, format it in FAT32.

    Step 2: Insert your chosen in your PC Backup media.

    Step 3: Download Unetbootin.

    Step 4: Select a distribution in the drop-down list. Just about anything will work, but for your application, I would recommend "Puppy Linux".

    Step 5: Select your media.

    Step 6: Once Unetbootin is complete, insert your media in the PC is installed on the corrupted hard drive.

    Step 7: Boot puppy. (You may need to select your Flash DRIVE or a CD in your BIOS)

    Step 8: The use of the included file manager, mount the hard drive and browse for the files you need. You can then save these on another DRIVE or a CD drive, or the internet.

  • CV 1457RT and VBAI: Double digital output

    I have a problem with the CVS 1457RT and the VBAI.

    I configured two steps with the VBAI for the CVS.

    The first step: I've read about the digital input which should trigger my second step.

    the second step: I acquire an image (with an ACE of the Basler) and then I measured 8 distances and count 2 edges. After this, I generate a pulse on the digital output once.

    After that I did a VI in LabVIEW that measures the time between the IO.

    In this VI and on the module which is connected to the digital output, I see that the putput pulses twice but only a few times.

    I guess you get noise on your digital input and trigger twice, so that it works the inspection twice, giving you two pulse output.

    You can implement a digital filter, where the value that comes out of the filter does not change until entry remained at the same value for the N samples.

    Can you run the Interface of Inspection VBAI only once and then once more by a guest user?

    I don't think I understand what you are trying to accomplish. You can connect a button on the front of the smart camera and trigger each acquisition. In VBAI check the triggered Acquisition under the tab trigger for the step to acquire Image (smart camera).

    Your smart camera is hooked up to a monitor? Is there something that you must do in LabVIEW that you can't do in VBAI about the step of user input?

  • Frequency of logging data SCC-68

    How fast can I enjoy data acquisition.  I took 4 analog inputs and carving to ASCII via LabView SignalExpress.

    I keep getting buffer overflow errors saying that the sampling period is too short.  I am currently 20 Ms.

    How short can I do?  It seems a little ridiculous that this thing can not taste<>

    Hi carleethian,

    The SCC-68 is the Terminal Board, which specific data acquisition card, you are using (probably a PCI card inside your computer)?  This would determine the maximum rate that you can enjoy at the.  Using the CCS modules with the SCC-68?

    Whatever the exact DAQ card, you should be able to sample above 50 Hz.  What you set up as the number of input samples of your step DAQmx acquire voltage?  This should be high enough so that the loop SignalExpress can catch data from data acquisition card.  I used to shoot for about 1/5 of my sampling rate to maintain a speed of loop 5 times per second.

  • Save triggered data of 2 modules

    I use SignalExpress (3.0) with USB cDAQ-9172, NI9203 current and voltage NI9201 module.  After the acquisition of (continuous) data, I use a trigger current 9203 signal software to analyze and record the triggered data (collected on the 8 channels on 9203).  However, I am not able to save the data of the voltage module 9201?  Looks like that the trigger for software only accepts a single module entry (I think).  As indicated in the attachment "triggering Input.jpg" I can only select 1 module as input for the relaxation of software (current module or module voltage)

    Is it possible to trigger on a single track and then save the data of these two modules?

    Thank you!

    Hey Ryan!

    You can actually do all this one-step DAQmx Acquire.  There is a tab in the acquisition stage where you can specify your trigger.  Then, there's a recording options tab up at the top where you can choose to save your data when starts it logging to a file TDMS that can be read in excel.

  • Multithreading and interactions with instruments

    I have to start by saying that I'm not a great programmer. I build an instrument that requires a computer interface, and I learned how to program at the time of writing the program, for most documentation work (which means I have re-written program one half package of time I learned new things like how to define data structures and so on).

    My question is about multithreading - in my application, I use the GUI to write a series of instructions, and then I press a "Start button" which loads the instructions on a Board that interprets and outputs some call digital logic by the precisely. In addition, if specified, the button 'start' begins a task DAQmx that takes a trigger of my Board and acquires data. As these scans can take a long time, it is better for me to run in a separate thread. I also try to run an additional thread that queries the Board of Directors for its status - if it is running, waiting for a trigger or stop - and updates a control LED to reflect the State periodically. The problem I have is that programming function, the Board of Directors and the audit of the State function has some overlap, which I imagine is the reason why I'm the General Protection faults.  I read on the Thread hangs and Thread-Safe queues, but those who seem to be especially on the transmission of data between threads. Ideally I would be able to make sure that two threads do not call the same function at the same time - how would implement this?

    In addition, I don't know if it is a problem of the two threads calling the same function at the same time (I dunno if it of a problem or not), or if the problem is the fact that when I call these functions, they need to access the USB interface and there may be some sort of conflict between them.  I'm really hitting a wall here because I think that I don't have a solid understanding of the operation of allocation memory and battery function.

    Hi Paul, from your description, it seems very likely that you have problems with contemporary access to the same resource from multiple threads, which could explain the GPF you receive.

    Thread locks are a common way to handle such situations, because they can allow a single thread to protect it from another thread any access to the shared resource.

    Locks are used is:

    1 create a lock before you need to use it (possibly at the start of the program)

    2. when a thread needs to access the USB port to communicate with the instrument, it must call CmtGetLock to block access from other threads: If the lock is free, it is acquired by the threads. If it is already owned by another thread, the thread waits on the CmtGetLock until the bolt is free

    3. once a lock is finished using the shared resource, it must call CmtReleaseLock to permitt the access to the resource from other threads

    4. at the end of the program, destroy the lock

    If you do not want to stay frozen in CmtGetLock of a thread there is a function in the library if the lock is free or not, so that you can stay in a loop waiting for the lock to be free, but with the wire still alive and able to continue its work (still without access to the shared resource (, of course).

    It is crucial that acquired locks are always released, otherwise the other threads will be permanently excluded from access to the shared resource: this review is particularly important when adding threads management, because you must be sure to release locks acquired even errors, when a policy of the commune is to jump to a label inside the error handling function and it is possible that a lock is held acquired errors.
