Looking for advice on navigation in the TestStand API.

I use TestStand for a few months now (self-taught using a LV architect with experience of the TS) and I think I will do certain things programmatically at run time and finished watching the massive array of properties/methods, etc. and ask yourself who are the properties/methods that will allow me to do what I have in mind.  Is there something fundamental missing in learning to understand which path to take to get down to the specific class and property/method interests me?

For example, at the moment I am trigger some additional operations on the process model in addition to running the main client generated when you enter Test DUT. I would like to be able to programmatically from within TS itself, or more probably of LabVIEW or hide these tabs when running... I guess it's possible.  I know that executions can be set initially hidden but a search for 20 minutes of the API not immediately revealed magical items to let me do this programmatically.

Hey, smoke,

The ApplicationMgr TestStand is located within the TestStand UI control server. To access the Application Manager, you first need to action a step ActiveX (because it is an ActiveX control) and RunState.Engine.GetInteralOption (InternalOption_ApplicationManager), you get a Manager Application object.

Example:

"Select the Module tab then under Automation server" NI TestStand XXXX UI controls (Ver X.X)

The object reference"RunState.Engine.GetInteralOption (InternalOption_ApplicationManager)

Class object' ApplicationMgr (IApplicationMgr)

Get the property executions

Which returns an object reference and class performances, thus, create a variable(Local,FileGlobal,etc) of object reference to use to retrieve the properties of the Application Manager.

Also note that to get the individual properties of your Application Manager object you won't be ActiveX measures for the properties you want.

I hope this helps.

    thought in the following way

    Replace the boot wth drive a fast SSD

    Doubling of the Ram of 16 MB to 32 MB

    Add a better graphics card.

    Just struggling to find compatibel points, so everyone has any idea, what type of memory should I watch so that its compatibility with the existing 2, 8 meg sticks

    SSDS seem to be a source of confusion that mine field that I should look for use as boot drive.

    Graphics card will be limited to what the power supply can turn off, someone knows what it supports current graphics cards go.

    Thanks for any help on this.

    @Paul80, welcome to the forum.

    Here's memory and SSD who are recommended by Crucial memory.  They make great products for OEM computers.  You have to open the case and check of installed memory brand.  Then contact the Crucial Tech Support to see if their memory will be compatible.  The main problem with the addition of memory, it's buy the memory that is compatible with existing modules.

    The best way to install the SSD, it's letting the existing connected HARD disk as it came from the factory.  Connect the SSD drive to another SATA port on the motherboard.  Install the cloning software that you will use on the HARD drive.  Open and select the SSD as target disk.  Once the SSD is cloned, disconnect the HARD drive and start.  The start of shoul for the SSD system.

    As for a video, here is a card that has very good reviews.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.  It should work well with your power supply unit (PSU).

  • Aspire One D255E don't look for a printer connected to the USB port

    My D255E an Aspire don't look for a printer connected to the USB port.  I've never used a printer on this computer before.  Windows 7 Starter will support a printer?

    It should be.  Try these steps and results reports:

    When you turn on and connect the printer via USB, shows tasks for animation in the system tray at the right end of the bar, click it and monitor driver installation.  If the pilot goes then printer must print and perhaps scanning of base via the Windows fax and scanning utility.  To find such a piece of utility type its name in the search box.

    If the driver does not load type of devices and printers in the box to start the search, open it, check if printer is already displayed, right-click on it to open the properties, and try to print a Test page. If it does not print right click on printer again to solve problems.

    If the printer is not listed visit Support downloads of the printer Web page to download and install the base driver.  If a wireless printer, you will need the complete package to do it fully implemented.  If you want to be able to scan from the top of the printer to the PC, then you also need the full package.  Keep track of the configuration screens when you install the software.

    If you still have problems after return the exact error with photos if possible.

  • I'm looking for a good book on the fuse box.

    Hello
    I'm looking for a good book on the fuse box.
    Anyone know what is the latest version and what is a good book for beginners?

    Thank you

    As far as I KNOW, it's the 'latest and greatest' fusebox book, (which covers 4.1).

    http://www.techspedition.com/store/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=10

    FB 5 was recently released... recently enough that there is no book for her. I'm not sure that the 4.1 (above) book sales will be justified it being ever a book on 5.

    There are many examples of applications on the site of the fuse box, and John Beynon has a great series of tutorials on FB 4 on his blog at http://john.beynon.org.uk/index.cfm?mode=cat&catid=8C3B9E31-802D-00D5-73ADB5D764E60C74

    I know that the $85 price tag may seem a bit steep for the book of FB 4.1... but this is a good book and is one of the few (if- not - only) complete book on a relatively recent version of FB.

    Which, in addition to the sample applications on the fusebox site should be a lot of documentation.

  • How to use the Teststand API DisplayEditNumericFormatDialog method

    Hello

    I have to create a report for Teststand coustom generator plugin using c#. In the Teststand API is a built-in method called 'DisplayEditNumericFormatDialog '.

    http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052M-01/tsapiref/reftopics/propertyobject_displayeditnume...

    Is there a way to set the value of the sample of the window that appears if the method is called?

    I do the following things:

    private void button1_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    mChanged = true;
    bool tempbool;

    PropertyObject tempobject = mEngine.NewPropertyObject (PropertyValueTypes.PropValType_Number, false, "", 0); creates a temporary PropertyOgject to view the EditNumericFormatWindow

    tempobject. NumericFormat = mConfig.GetValString (P_PluginSpecific_Options_NumericFormat, 0); read the digital format of the plugin options
    tempobject. DisplayEditNumericFormatDialog ("Digital Format", out (tempbool), 1); View the EditNimericFormatWindow

    If (tempobject. NumericFormat == "") mConfig.SetValString (P_PluginSpecific_Options_NumericFormat, 0, "%$.13g");
    else mConfig.SetValString (P_PluginSpecific_Options_NumericFormat, 0, tempobject.) NumericFormat);

    MessageBox.Show (tempobject. NumericFormat.ToString ());
    }

    Thanks in advance

    Hello f4bo,

    attached is a sequence that shows how this can be done.

  • Looking for ideas of navigation... clarify the terminology used in the project

    Hi people... looking for some ideas for my Captivate 5 projects navigation.

    I have a project which is executed automatically, which means it does not require the participant to click on previous/next buttons to proceed with the project. I display the standard navigation in skin buttons, however. I use also the voice-over to tell the whole project. On several slides I use specific terms or concepts that the participant may want to get more information on the... which I am more than willing to provide.

    What I would like to know many of you seasoned users of Captivate is how you would allow participants to get more information about a specific term / concept presented as underlined text in slide balls without interrupting the flow of the entire project. I thought to use click boxes that send them to another page (branching) and then provide them with a button that we continue them with the project from there. I also considered to use overview legends, too, but if they don't find the bearing before the slide advances, they miss the opportunity to ride on this point. I'm not a big fan of prompting the participant about the existence of the bearings,... I just use underlined text indicating a "hyperlink" so-to-speak.

    Anyone have some creative ways to this address?

    Hello

    Now, you will know that I prefer screenshots: you can easily duplicate a total script (see yellow highlighted button), perhaps it is better to change the default name of the script in double. ATTENTION: each object has the correct ID, in this case, it's the text caption (I've marked it ExplanationTC), so you will have to change.

    It is not possible (yet) for export/import of advanced actions

  • Manufacturing of the simpler regions on a map of the world... looking for advice

    Hello, I use a card world that initially came is Wikimedia: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BlankMap - World - Microstates.svg or istockphoto, I don't remember which exactly but they are both built in the same way - where each country in a general field is grouped.

    I want to associate groups of different countries in the regions, as in the example of Asia in the image attached to this issue. Countries have thin lines as borders, what I'm looking for the easiest way to delete and merge into a single plan.

    This will finally on the web as an image vector interactive mouseover (have not yet decided on flash or javascript, canvas, svg, vml), so removing the extra points are essential in the size of the file and maintainability.   Advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Court

    (PS: I had actually posted a similar question before, but this card seems to me does not make the process explained to me previously.)  Since each country has it's own/track of the border, I can't use the Scout to solve)

    I still don't see your image after, but one thing you might want to check before you apply the pathfinder is to see if the accident vascular cerebral/sketch of the country has been extended to a path and if so, make sure that you also select those with the forms of the country. I came across some images of stock vector map, which is the case. If this isn't the case, and your forms simply do not match very well, a quick way to get rid of all the borders remain unwanted would choose the resulting shape you created using Pathfinder and selecting the brush of Blog (assuming you have CS4) with her has the same color as the fill color of the shape you want and just painted on gaps. It would be much faster to try to remove it with the pen tool.

    Larry,

    The OP is looking to reduce the number of control points in the image.

  • Almost done with my first vid. Looking for advice on the ending credits...

    What I would do for my closing credits, before the band title turnover is to introduce viewers each actor with a 3-4 sec clip their main role in the film without sound (except the background music) and then pause the clip for a few seconds, all text rolls with their name. Not sure if I explained myself well enough, but of course at this point I won't have a problem cutting the clips of the film to be placed at the end, with no background noise (under music). What I can't understand is how pause the video at some point while the music audio is still rolling and then be able to overlay text next to the actor. Thanks in advance.

    Hi all

    Looking for a help and advice for a rookie to vmware

    We have just purchsed 3 x DL380 G8 each with 8 x 1 TB HARD drive no storage shared, and we are currently approved for most part more packs 2 x.

    What I wanted to do was to reproduce some VM so if one breaks down then we can either manually or automatically start another on another host. I'd like to reproduce our exchange 2010 essentially server but that is currently on the phyiscal material and I would need to first do a P2V conversion. I also read a few negative articles on running exchange on a virtual computer.

    I had read a little and looks like FT is outside the quetsion because of having not shared storage in place and there is also the limitation of 1vcpu. So I was wondering where to start really. For any tips, pointers, etc. will be very much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Welcome to the communities...

    As you use Essentials Plus, you can order vSphere Storage Appliance you can use a shared storage. Make sure that the hardware is compatiable with vSA (http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/12/major-hcl-changes-for-the-vsphere-storage-appliance-vsa.html)

  • Looking for advice of vector drawing tablet

    Hi all

    I use CS4 for awhile now (to most of my free time) and have gotten quite into drawing cartoon versions of friends, family, etc. I work just from photographs in the past and have generally used Illustrator to achieve this.

    My results up to now look like this: http://crockstarlimited.com/blog/about/ (sorry, these are the only examples that I have online at the moment). I asked about how to improve my technique for this, and so my question is double:

    1. anyone who has used a drawing tablet (like this: http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-UPTZ431W-Intuos-3-Digital-Writing/dp/B001NANLOI)? If so, do you have recommendations on what to look for or who is particularly good?

    2. does anyone have advice for this style of drawing?

    know how to use Photoshop instead of Illustrator?

    Thanks much for any help you can provide!

    Crock

    Illustrator by far. You have much more control over your drawing in a vector program. Changes are easier. You can still import the PS more later to add effects. All digital illustrators I never contracted with that worked in artificial intelligence without exception. The main file is always vector they can bring an image in PS for some added effects. But the top of the line illustrators can do incredible effects in artificial intelligence without ever entering Psalm

  • Satellite A100: looking for a software to control the fan speed

    Hello

    I am looking for software of control/read on my laptop fan speed, because energy does not seem to do anything. It seems not serious if I set the 'method of cooling' to 'Battery optimized' or 'Maximum Performance' or fixed CPU processing speed. I () has installed the Module & Power Saver town a couple of times without success.

    SpeedFan & NHC will not work.

    Hello

    Sorry but I do not share your view on Power saver utility. Do you really believe that Toshiba create tool like that for nothing? Just FYI: public service power saver is not available with Vista operating system and on this forum, you will find topics where people really miss this fun and useful utility.

    In any case, it is well known that many tools that you can find on the internet do not have much influence on laptop cooling fan speed. To be honest, something like that can be very dangerous because the majority of users want to have silent notebooks and overheating problems are totally underestimated.

    Can you please be a bit more specific about your problem? Your laptop is too strong for you or is the short battery life? Why you are not satisfied with this tool?
