• Display a default sous-suite when opening the file in the editor of TestStand sequence

  Is there a way to set the default display sequence when open a file of sequence?

  Seems that the steps for MainSequence are generally displayed first what existing openning sequence.

  How I put it to display an another sous-suite when I open the movie file, I created.

  Or if it displays one sous-suite other than MainSequence, how to set this back to display by default when MainSequence reopenning the file in TestStand.

  Jeff,

  Sequences are stored in files in sequence in the order of 0 - N.  The default sequence will be the 0th.  To change the order in the sequence editor, you can click on the bar of the above sequence sequences.  Keep clicking until there is no arrow on it.  He is the true order of the sequences in the file in the sequence.  Drag the desired visible upward.

• How to disable ToolTips in the TestStand sequence editor

  Hello

  is there a way to disable these bubbles villain in the TestStand sequence editor.

  For example, when I want to spend a FileGlobal which is a string that contains a number and step requires the numerical value, I need to use Val (FileGlobals.NumberString) and answers

  as soon as I write ' Val ("a ToolTip appears and tells me what I can do. But so far, not the worst problem in the development process it may happen, that I have to change the FileGlobal

  and that's the point, when ToolTips turn evil.

  I'm starting to fix the names of the variables in the steps and each time this nasty giant bubble. It is not only unnecessary, but also incredibly annoying at the moment.

  I really hope that there is a parameter that could help me or that developer NOR esteem team to add the posibility to disable these tooltips.

  PS: maybe not completely necessary to disable ToolTips, but perhaps to make their tiny and if the programmer is really interested in the content that could be extended by a click.

  I use TestStand 2013 and TestStand 2011.

  Thanks in advance

  Manfred

  I think what you describe is the function "Tip." You can stop these appear automatically.

  The setting is located in the Station Options > Preferences > Expression editing Options

  My screenshots are from 2014, but it's the same on 2013. Not sure about 2011.

  

• Is it possible data passing between the screws running simultaneously in 2 separate teststand sequences?

  I have a vi that I want to run in a teststand sequence and then call another vi in a separate sequence, running in parallel. Is there a way of transmitting data dynamically between the two, the execution of vis?

  Just realised I can still use FVGs between the two sequences.

• store a context of teststand sequence

  Hi, I want to save a teststand sequence context in variable teststand using labview code, is it possible? If Yes, then I know how? I tried to use the property set api value in labview but I don't no what type of data structure to use.

  Hello

  I don't understand why you're ready to save the context of the sequence in a variable since it is already...

  In any case, you can use this method:

  

• Problems during execution of a LabVIEW VI in a new thread under TestStand sequence and execution of the MainSequence in step by step mode

  Hello

  We want to run a VI in LabVIEW (LV2011) at the same time to the execution of a sequence of test of TestStand (TS2010). The VI should view the condition of the equipment, while the test sequence is written in TestStand. It would be a nice feature of debugging the TestStand sequence while watching the State of the material in the LabVIEW Panel, too.

  This is where it's our problem. Imagine that you have a MainSequence calling a subsequence in a new thread, which runs the LabVIEW VI. After the call, the MainSequence continues its progression, as it is configured to do this. But if we want to execute the MainSequence in step parallel execution of VI mode, we can do that. The controls for "Step Out" etc. are grey.

  I tried to build a very simple example to explain what I mean. It's just a sequence and a LabVIEW VI, no real functionality, just take as an example for our problem.

  Any tips? What we're doing wrong? Is there something that needs to be changed in the LabVIEW VI?

  Best regards

  Manual

  You should use the monitor of the termination and the ExternallySuspended APIs for the EIS to running asynchronously. There are screws of wrapper around these APIs in the LabVIEW TestStand palette.

  For more details see using the API for the following:

  Thread.ExternallySuspended

  Execution.InitTerminationMonitor

  Execution.GetTerminationMonitorStatus

  Unless I am struggling to understand what you're asking, if you are using these APIs, you should be able to make it work as you are eager to do things.

• How to put the lock in parallel sequences?

  Hi all

  I'm writing a testseq, which has two parallel sequences. In the two sequences (threads) a same LabVIEW program (Vi) as an Action step will be called. Since the Vi uses an IP address, so it cannot be run more than once at the same time. So I want to make a setting (Lock) like to Teststand.

  is it possible to use the setting lock (How) to allow the as step Vi, which runs once at a time.

  Any response will be appreciated!

  The easiest way, if you want to lock on a per stage basis, is to use the lock on stage settings. See the sync section of the settings on the step step settings panel. You can use the same name of locking with several steps in to do use the same lock. If you want to lock around several steps, use the type of synchronization lock step.

  Hope this helps,

• Firefox has recently started locking everytime I try to open some Web sites, and it starts to monopolize the resources of the computer up to use 50 to 60% of my CPU where he usually uses 5-15%.

  I had problems in the past three weeks or so, where Firefox will lock when you access websites like NP.eBay.pl or Facebook, and sometimes even Google search. When you try to load these sites, sometimes the program crashes and starts using 50 to 60% of my CPU and sometimes a constantly growing amount of RAM. The only way I can fix it is to go into the Task Manager and kill the program, and then restart Firefox. Is not always a solution, either, as sometimes exactly the same problem arises immediately when I reload Firefox and I have to kill him again through TM. I usually four to six tabs open, and have never had any problems with Firefox like this before the approximate date of September 17. Could this problem have taken birth in the latest updates?

  Try this:

  For me, the solution was the Network.http.Max - connections setting. Lowering this setting is default 256 to 32 of correction of the problem. If you have not tried to change this maybe give it a go by typing about: config in your address bar, and then click the Network.http.Max - connections setting and by replacing the value 32.

• sharing of the locks between different sequences

  The way my main seq is set up is does nothing by itself, just calls to other sequences (call them seq1, seq2, etc.).  I now want to have two DUT using the parallel model but, given that I only have a multimeter, wanted to use the locks.   A DUT in seq2, for example, will recognize a lock that has been implemented in seq1?

  All sequences use the DMM in a way or another. The reason why I want to use locks on the main sequence is that there are things inside the individual calls (writing series, expectations, etc.) that I have no problem to do in parallel, because in these cases, I have more than one piece of hardware.

  Thus, for example, when UUT1 is measuring the current in seq2, UUT2 is read/write diagnostic through its own serial port in seq 1. After that UUT1 frees the dmm, UUT2 gets access.

  In addition, the calls must be in order (end the seq1 seq2) for each object to be measured.

  If you start a name of lock with an asterisk (*), then it is going global at the station.  For example "* DMM" as the name of your lock will be shared throughout the station.

• How do I know when a teststand sequence ends with the Simple graphic interface?

  Hello community,

  32-bit Teststand 2014

  32-bit Labview 2015

  I use the version of Labview Teststand user Simple interface.

  Where in the interface can user Simple of Teststand I know when a file sequence is finished running?

  I want to make an event handler when the end of a sequence that will trigger a change in the value of a control.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I believe that the best option for you is with the user interface messages, please refer to this link for more on this topic:

• 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?

  
  

• Read command line arguments to TestStand sequence start, moving within the sequence

  Start a sequence by using a batch file and add command line arguments. Example: "MySequence.seq Arg1.

  Now, within the sequence I want to read this first (and another) argument "Arg1".

  There is a stage in the ActiveX for that, giving a type (object reference) channels, see screenshot.

  Question: How to use this reference to read the argument?

  Honestly I don't think that you are using it correctly.  I think that your application in your UI Manager must handle this.  However, to answer your question:

  According to the TestStand help CommandLineArguments property is of type string.  It comes to aid of TestStand as well:

  Channels
  A collection of strings. You can get a reference to the collection of the ApplicationMgr.CommandLineArguments property, the ExpressionEdit.GetValidEvaluationTypes and ExpressionEdit.SetValidEvaluationTypes methods and the ApplicationMgr.ProcessUserCommandLineArguments event.

  Properties
  Count (read-only)
  Agenda

  Methods
  Add
  Claire
  Insert
  Delete

  Looks like you can use activeX not use Count or properties of the element to retrieve a single argument.

  Hope this helps,

• TestStand equivalent of "Open Office"

  Hello

  I'm looking through the API, trying to find the equivalent of the "open automation" labview tool, where you point the tool 'Automation open' to a DLL API or an object active x, and it returns a reference to that of teststand.

  Thank you

  The ActiveX adapter may create new objects if you select the option 'create object '. This option is only available if you select an ActiveX Server and the class that contains an accessible external constructor.

  hope this helps,

• Help: Configure the simple test sequence, operator selects particular test connects to the part of the teststand sequence file and then performs the test

  Hello

  I am very new to TestStand, please see the question below and give advice.

  I want to set up a simple test sequence.

  I want a message to popup on the screen that asks the operator what unit of 6 units (maximum 10) to test (i.e. There is say box of 6 to 10 s to select from).

  Then the sequence goes to the specific part of the sequence and performs the test on a unit that either has been selected.

  What is the best way to do it?

  I use pop-up message windows to do this? and if so what should I connect to the correct part of the sequence file?

  Pop-up message windows allow only 6 options to select from?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can do this by using the method of message popup. You can ask the user what unit want to run message by inserting in the expression of the message in the message popup step parameters. Something like below

  "Enter the number of execution unit.

  1 Unit1

  2 unit 2

  .......

  10 Unit 10 "

  then check the 'Enable response text box"tab is different from the stage. When the user enters the unit number you can get the value entered by the user by inserting the below statement post expression of message popup step parameters

  Locals.String = Step.Result.Response

  Note: The string is a local variable to be set.

  Convert string to number and send that output to pass the expression you can use a sequence of call step to call the sequence according to which must be performed. (I hope your each unit will file separate sequence)

  I hope that this solves your problem. If you do not understand please let me know so that I can put a small example and send it to.

  See you soon,.

• OfficeJet HP 5510 all-in-One - door locked - ink cartridge does not open.

  Windows XP Service Pak 3, HP 5510 Officejet, printer, USB connection.

  Won't let me open the ink cartridge door.  So, I can not install new ink cartridges.   It started about 3 weeks after I deleted some other software.   When I touch the door to open it, I get this flashing Error Message - "Door open, door close print cartridge."   (but door is not open, it is locked closed).   .   Printer will print documents correct, my problem is that I can't load new ink cartridges.  I could probably force and break on it to open it, but am afraid my printer does not work after that.  I love it and want to continue using it.

  Three times, on different occasions, I crossed the steps on your website to reset the printer.  They did not solve it.  I opened the back of the printer and looked for any paper jams and tips or debri.   I took can air and exploded all over where I could, but nothing came out.  I don't have a paper jam, when this started.

  Is there a code pin or something to get out, the door somewhere?

  If I force rotating door and breaks, the printer works?

  Problem started on December 14, 2010.

  Thank you

  Hello Oldlady10,

  The 5510 JO has a Center door that goes through the top on both sides. It is possible that the door warped a bit in the middle and create a barrier that will not the door opens without a lot of strength.

  Solution: Hold the door with both hands as you open the door, then take both thumbs and press down on the top of the door to repel the distorted area and then lift the pen access door.
