Is there any unit test framework tools for DAQmx programmers who use C interface?

I need to accuratly simulate DAQmx devices for the software in the development of unit tests. Are there tools available to make this easier?

You have the integrated simulation of DAQ devices in MAX. The simulation is limited. It is explained in the NOR-DAQmx help (NI - DAQmx Key Concepts > NOR-DAQmx simulated devices).

  • LabVIEW Unit Test Framework: workaround for forbidden control characters label?

    Hello

    I am using Unit Test Framework of LabVIEW and he tells me that I am not allowed to use the unit as [Celsius] card in my labels of control:

    «Control's label may not contain the following items: \n, \r, tabs, table holders, name and decimal separators delimiters.»

    In the VI under test contain [] or /. »

    Rename these labels is a difficult option for me because the format of the units in brackets is on our company agreements.

    Can anyone think of a work around so that the test framework ignores these labels?

    Thank you

    Peter

    There was an exchange of views on these "Naming Conventions" a general consensus was arrived at, it became obvious that the best methods for the controls and indicators is to use short "Lables" and put to amplify the info in the caption showing the legend on the FP and not the Lable.

    for example

    "Temp".

    "Temperature [Celsius].

    This saves a lot of space BD when buldling / unbundling or using VI Server refs, always give the user all the information they need, and help displays the legend if there is one.  It even allows to change the default value (0) without messing up any type defs.

    In your case the Framwork UT would be happier if you have taken this approach.

  • Unit Test Framework: Inline Subvi test coverage

    Hello

    does anyone know if the Unit Test Framework considers inline subVIs recursively during the measurement of coverage?

    Consider following the example:

    f(a:int) {}

    g() ;

    }

    g() {}

    If (false) - return 1;

    else return 0;

    }

    Obviously, there is no test for g() with coverage of 100% (branch), and any trial for f() reaches 100%.

    My question is: given a test for f(), UTF gives a different cover if I set to be (Inline g()<100%) or="" not="">

    Thank you

    Peter

    Peter,

    No, the Subvi cannot be analysed for coverage of the code if the value inline.

    Fact is, that this feature requires the option 'Allow debugging' must be disabled (Yes, I hate double-negation!), but if it is not allowed to debug, the code coverage will result in 0%.

    See Help:

    "You have to allow debugging for each VI under test to measure the code coverage. If VI a VI under test properties have not checked the checkbox allow debugging , the result of code coverage will always be zero. »

  • unit test framework

    Is it possible to group together the Unit Test framework in an EXE?  I would like to pass a path of the project file and path of the report file to an exe file that will reside on a dedicated test server and run tests or user-defined Unit Tests that are included in the project file.

    I want to use this EXE to run automated tests that can be triggered by a CI server like cruise control.

    Is there a limitation with a Toolbox or UTF specifically, which prevents the package in an EXE?

    You cannot run as a stand-alone executable Unit Test infrastructure. He uses a lot of functionality which is part of the LabVIEW development system, but not the LabVIEW runtime engine (for example in order to process the block diagrams, project files).

    What you can do in order to solve your use case is to install LabVIEW on your test machine and run a VI that runs your tests. There are several ways of commissioning and control of LabVIEW, including a command line interface that allows you to pass in a name of VI to run more parameters for the VI. A more accurate way to control LabVIEW would be through ActiveX, which is possible for example in a VB Script or JavaScript that are executed by the Windows Scripting Host.

    This piece of VBScript for example takes 2 inputs command line, start of LabVIEW, charge a VI, passes the values to the VI and run the VI. He will wait for LabVIEW is finished (as an option). You can also choose to keep LabVIEW run all the time, or to have the script open and close as needed.

    Dim oLV
    Set oLV = CreateObject("LabVIEW.Application")
    
    sCurPath = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetAbsolutePathName(".")
    
    Dim oVI
    Set oVI = oLV.GetVIReference(sCurPath&"\LVDiff.llb\Diff_VI.vi")
    
    oVI.SetControlValue "Input 1", WScript.Arguments(0)
    oVI.SetControlValue "Input 2", WScript.Arguments(1)
    
    On Error Resume Next
    oVI.Run(0)
    If Err.Number>0 Then
        oVI.Abort
        MsgBox "Error"
    End If
    

    Hope that helps,

  • Unit Testing Unit Test Framework when the expected production is just a table of NaNs to report a fake PASS

    It is a cross-post of the Unit Testing Group:

    https://decibel.NI.com/content/message/121915#121915

    I remember having this problem with the old version of the unit testing framework, but alas, it is still present in the new version.

    To do this, I use LabVIEW 2015.

    A customer contacted ask me what to do, because the expected output was table of NaNs and the VI under test returns an array of numbers and yet, the test was passing!

    My suggestion to use as a solution was to create a defined trial user who would test for the table of NaNs. I was wondering if someone here had found this problem and if you have further suggestions other than user defined Test.

    Until someone suggests we turn to JKI VI tester for this project, I can tell you that we use UTF and tester of JKI VI not because the client is in a regulated industry.

    A video describing the problem and the workaround (via user defined Tests) is here: https://youtu.be/AoBe-Gw2Nzo

    Question: Is using a user defined Test is the best approach? We missing something in the way that the Unit Test is defined which translates the fake of the Test infrastructure Unit reports that the test successful?

    Thank you

    Fab

    Hey Fab,

    I was able to reproduce the problem on my machine and I have observed the same results. What I see in the video, it looks that you are setting the unit test. I think that this is a bug rather than your test configuration, so I presented a report on this issue will have to be reviewed by the R & D.

    Go ahead, I agree that a user defined Test is the best solution in this case. If it meets the needs of your clients, I recommend you take this option.

  • Error in Unit Test Framework: "the path of the VI test is not valid."

    I get this error on files lvtest for a few screws, it appears so when I click on the button "import values of VI.  The unit test framework correctly on some screws, but some work raise the error.  I tried to move and rename the files and of coarse checked the path of the file.  I'm open to suggestions, I'm starting to like what the Unit Test Framework is capable of, but this error becomes a problem for me.

    Thank you

    John

    Hi John,.

    It seems that I do not receive the same error as you.  In the Advanced tab of .lvtest files, that you selected as the Configuration setting?  If you left it as default value, can you check to see if the orders/lights are selected in the connector pane?

  • VI test a string control configured to view password, it displays 'normal view' mode in the Unit Test Framework lvtest Properties dialog box

    Configuration of the password does not lvtest UTF Properties dialog window. It's probably a bug.

    Hey jorgeinSD,

    The Unit Test is designed to test the input values and compare them with a desired output value to make sure that your VI works under different entries. For this reason, it is necessary that the user makes tests see the entry and not just values «*» Your VI should not change (as in the VI should still display mode password, ' * '), but the properties of Unit Test should display the actual value and not mode password. Is that what you mean by 'configuration of the password does not UTF' or did, I misunderstood the question? I hope this helps!

  • Is there a unit of different printhead for cartridge 564XL printer B210A Photosmart Photo?

    I recently bought a set of Multipack 564XL ink cartridges for my printer and says black cartridge Photo on it and it is more narrow than the cartridge 564XL black, who is currently in the printer.  Given that I was going to print photos, I tried to install the new photo cartridge and it does not fit (the "key" on the rear face of the cartridge is different).  I know that the Assembly of the print head containing the cartridges will eject.  I was wondering if there is a meeting of different printhead that I can buy that will contain the photo cartridge?

    Hello

    The Photo 564 ink cartridge is not compatible and cannot be used with the model B210.

    There are different models that use 5 ink cartridges (e.g. Photosmart C410, 7510) and also uses the Photo ink cartridge. your model supports ink black, yellow, Magenta and Cyan.
