Parameterized execution of sequences

Is there an example how to set test sequences in Teststand?

The current configuration is such that a number of tests must be carried out with different supply voltages and temperature conditions. For this, there are remotely controllable power supplies and a thermostreamer. The most direct is to simply add a loop inside the sequence of test for these settings, but this feels pretty inelegant and also impassable as well as heavy to quickly change the parameter independently of the rest of the test configuration test conditions.

Rolf,

It's always an interesting discussion.  The problem is that you define all these values somewhere either a database, flatfile or format TestStand himself.  Here's my opinion on the matter.

Databases and flatfiles exhibit the same problem.  At some point you need to read values and map it on the steps that they are passed in.  The Mapper is the killer here. The reason is that it can be as simple as a PO file that maps to a local variable that is then used in the parameters of the step or enough complex where he goes through the steps and inject values into the calls.  The other MAIN issue with this is what happens if the data type changes.  How do roll you back to the database or flatfile while maintaining the 40 different sets of values already in there.

I found that keeping data in a native format of TestStand is the simpler and easier to maintain. Is it a local variable that you have data or an abstraction layer where the values are hardcoded in the stages of the advantage to keep in TestStand, is that when the update of the data types that they are pushed automatically and values are preserved.  The downside, is changing the limits outside the TestStand environment is not really available unless you want to build a kind of special editor.

Anyway it's still a huge business.  Personally I'm not a fan of the loader of property because it is limited in the variables and parameters it can export/import, and also files tend to become real yucky after about 20 values.

Hope this helps,

  • Parameters of different sequence on a timeline?

    Is it possible to have different settings of sequence in a single sequence? If I have the right settings for a clip, the other is gives me green frames when I put them on the same timeline! Is it possible to have two different settings on a timeline to prevent these frameworks? If so, help would be really appreciated. Other solutions are also welcome.

    Dealing with the Clip level

    You must consider the source clips when you establish your edit sequence.

    (Ideally before actually starting shooting..)

    If you have two types of source element... .as you do... create a sequence around a smaller... 1280 x 720.

    Then change the greatest clips in it.  You may need to interpret / change this RATED clips to make it work.  (It's a clip in the project Bin Source level)

    You can use a function like 'adjust to the size of the image.  Which may be an option in preferences or a clip level option.

  • Perform a sequence using the new method of execution

    Hi ppl,

    I use the Engine.NewExecution method in LabVIEW to perform a sequence using sequential process model. I have been successful in this attempt.

    Now when I tried to pass arguments to the sequence with this method I could not do

    From the help file, I found to pass property to the sequenceArgsParam in the Engine.NewExecution. I used the Engine.NewPropertyObject to create a new property object. My problem started here. I was not able to define the parameters for the property object I created. When I created an object of type container property, newExecuion method returned an error indicating that the type is the string even if the setting for my sequence was a container. When I created a method of setValString string property object returned error saying unable to find settings where the look of string upward was parameters.x

    Please help me some body. I'm stuck with this upward.  can someone give me an example of program that passes parameters to the sequence when running via the NewExecution method.

    Hello

    It is not the Engine.NewPropertyObject method to pass parameters

    I used to sequence method before running the sequence

    try to replace the step Engine.NewExecution of this VI

    the values are in a cluster table: parameter is the name of the parameter in your sequence, the value is the value to pass

    A2

    Note 1: there is only the string in this VI, it is possible to change with integer...

    Note 2: If you have a container, the parameter name is "container". "" The name of the parameter.

  • I'm trying to make a film of a short sequence and it fails

    I use the FCP 6.06 with Mac OS X5.8 for several years with no problems.

    Suddenly, I tried to make a short film in quick time and he made me a loop of the first seconds and has not reached the end of the sequence.

    What can be the problem?

    ELSA

    What is the source material?

    What are the parameters of the sequence?

    Click on an item in the source in the browser of the FCP, and once selected, press command + 9 to display the properties of the item for the clip.

    Declare these properties here, or take a screenshot of the properties of the element and after that the screen shot here.

    Then click anywhere in the chronology of the sequence and press command + 0 {zero} to display your sequence settings. Either declare these settings here or take a screenshot and post this screenshot of settings of the sequence here.

  • Get a LV tree ctrl sequence structure

    Hi, I'm an editor to customize certain parameters of the sequence (for example "run mode). I would like to import into a tree LV throughout the test sequence control now the structure of the original. I mean, every step is a part of the tree (A Test, Test c...), while each subsequence call is a node of the tree (B Test, Test B_3), the parents of some children. The TS API using, I can go through the sequence of main and all the subsequence but I can't find the link between the subsequence and his appeal. I find that the B Test is a call of the sequence but not what subsequence appealed.

    If using, I can post part of the code.

    Thank you very much.

    LoGatto,

    In order to get information about the calling sequence step you want, you will need to use the TestStand adapter API.  You must get the Step.Module of the call sequence step object and then cast to a SequenceCallModule object.  You can then get the properties you want.

    You can see how the TestStand courses come together here: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052H-01/tsapiref/infotopics/using_teststand_api_objects/

    There are also several useful KBs out there, if you are looking for a combination of TestStand/LabVIEW/adapter API/Module/etc.  And here's one I found: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/ADC6909C20E27D4886256E94005424E3

    I hope this helps!

    P.S. To "climb" in LabVIEW, use the node of the 'data Variant.  Be sure to close all references!

    Krishna,

    If you want just to know the index of a step, this information is displayed at the bottom of the sequence editor in the status bar.  It shows you how many steps there are in the sequence, how you have selected and the index of the selected steps.

    It is also possible to display the information in the view of the steps in a column, if you are ready to create a new column.  Follow the instructions in this KB to see how to create a new column:changing the properties of columns in the viewport of execution TestStand sequence editor.

    One of the types of columns is Index. Just set your column of this type and you'll see step index as shown below.

    Hello.. Please help me > > > > I have pictures and video clips

    in my project, but the black borders appear on video clips

    I want to match the project to the size of the video clips

    111111a.png111111b.pngCV

    PrPro common practice is to leave the program to define the parameters of the sequence of the primary media that you use. So when you start a sequence, you take either a clip from the Source to an area monitor empty timeline, drag & drop a clip from the project to an area Panel empty timeline, or drag & drop a clip on the "new item" icon at the bottom of the project Panel, select "Sequence" that the new element.

    PrPro emits a sequence of the size of the frame and frame-rate of the media, with the number of audio tracks, and you're ready to go. Your sample at the top of the page is a picture of 4:3 proportion, down is a 16:9 image of proportion on a sequence of 4:3 proportion.

    It seems that your video is 16:9 and your still images are 4:3 or about. Make a new sequence, dropping the video on the timeline first. Then put stills on it with "set to framesize" as a default. It's the ' Edit /: preferences "dialog box.

  • How to set the resolution of a sequence in first?

    I built a sequence that looked like, it was full frame (at least in width) in the window of the program, but when I export to Youtube to 720HD, its got a large black border on all sides. This particular sequence contains a lot of still images, with splashes of color used to show the video in a part of the image. I don't mind a small black border at the top and bottom, but there must be a way to export it where he resumed all of the horizontal resolution.

    Ideally, I start the project to a friendly resolution of YouTube and conform to the media by the scale, so that I may fill the screen. What tools am I missing here?

    In general, the CC of PrPro versions, we choose the main type of media for rates/image size that will be in the removal project just a clip from that on the blank/empty box sequence. PrPro then sets the parameters of the sequence according to this clip. If your export to YouTube in a format 720HD is your main concern, you can click on the "new item" icon at the bottom right of the project Panel and choose 'new sequence' and set it to a 1280 x 720 at the frame rate used by key video clips that you use.

    Then, when you add media to other sizes, you can select 'set to size of the image' or balance-for or whether you need to apply in an optimal way.

  • First CC sequence Frame-Rate question

    I have the latest version of first.

    I have some footage that was shot at 1920 x 1440 @ 80 FPS.

    When I drag a clip in the timeline, it creates the sequence at 10 frames per second.

    When I try to change it, it has options of up to 60 frames per second.

    Can someone help me with this? I have hours of footage to 80 FPS I would really like to use.

    Thanks in advance!

    What I do is export these files as prores.  I believe only H264 mp4 caps off at 60 fps.  The makings of a go pro it's own flavor of h264 (I think) who manages the cadence.  Try to make the sequences corresponds to the source and export to prores format but correspond to the parameters of the sequence.  It should work.

  • Why my media wants to export in MXF format when I match sequence settings?

    I did movies with first CC before and never had this problem, I'm going to export, I click on the box to match my sequence settings and it will export an MPEG, and now she wants to export in MXF format. My computer does not recognize the MXF files. Is there a reason why this might happen?

    If your export correspond to the parameters of the sequence is now mxf. Check your codec in the sequence settings. This is what match sequences of uses.

    Why do you want to use the match sequence settings, it's for a quick review of your film with a codec overview of lower quality.

  • Error: too big sequence settings. Now: How to export?

    I'm new on the first (and video editing), but I've spent many hours during holidays past learning and producing a short video.

    The first media in that I included was a large image. I think it is the reason why the sequence settings are big: 4928 x 3264 pixels (I didn't know on the sequence settings at all).

    Next, I added my video clips, recorded in DV 720 x 576 format.

    Now I understand why video clips appear to be scaling over 500% to fullfill the frame!

    I saw a video on the sequence settings, and it seems that the settings sequence reduce the CPU usage when editing (Preview in real time). Good to know!

    But my question is: can I export a video of good quality with this settings?

    I tried DV PAL and H264 + DV PAL, producing large files: 250 MB or 2 GB for a 10 min. video, with a horrible video quality.

    I'd appreciate any help to avoid to repeat the entire process.

    Thank you!

    Kin

    If I understand correctly, you want to do is export a video in 720 x 576, in this case, you're better off get the right sequence rather than the intensification of the sequence settings and then back down to export.

    You neglected to declare you what version of Premiere Pro. It's always a good detail to include, especially in this case because the parameters of the sequence becomes editable in CC7.1. So if you are on 7.1 or later, you can change the dimensions of the sequence to match your main content by right-clicking in the sequence in the project Panel and select sequence settings. If you are on an earlier version, then the best way to go is to create a new sequence with the desired settings and copy and paste everything from the old order to the new. You'll then come back scaled to 500% to 100%.

  • Need help to set up my sequence

    Hi, I'm new on first and make a short film.

    I shoot with a Canon 600 d, which produces a. MOV file (I've heard are difficult to work with nortoriously). The width of the frame is 1920 and the length is of 1088. He was shot in the 25fmps.

    When I try to create the parameters of a sequence, the music video for the song is cultivated since the original report, it's a problem.

    I think I'm getting into other mistakes in my sequence that may reduce the quality (I don't know how it works).

    I guess I wonder what I should take to:

    Editing mode

    Size of the image

    Fixed pixels

    Overview of a Format file

    Codec

    And all other most important.

    Also, I said that I need to use Cineform... (my computer can not handle the preview files) it would have an effect these settings of sequence also?

    I'm very green but eager for knowledge.

    If you can help me, it would take a charge of stress...
