Sequence context Ref

Is there a difference between these two references?

The monochromatic one comes from \vi.lib\addons\TestStand\_TSLegacy.llb\LabVIEW Test - Sequence Context.ctl. I see this in all of my old code (some of TestStand 1.0). This is defined as a strict typdef.

If you create a node invoke is bound to the legacy monochrome control, and then create a control of the entrance to the node reference invoke, you get a refnum "rose".

Control 'pink' is a standard Refnum Automation. 'Black' control is a Type of the Refnum Automation standard Def. If a Subvi uses the Type as input Def and wire you a Refnum standard Automation at the entrance of the Sub - VI you will see a point constraint (and vice versa).

I hope this helps.

  • context of the sequence

    Hi all

    Is there a difference in execution time to pass a value using in Labview (v/s) son calling the sequence context and then call the property set?

    kindly let me know.

  • Get a context of a file of sequence another sequence file

    Hello

    My goal is to create my own property loader. I have successfully created a LabVIEW VI wich ables me to select a category of variables (local variables, parameters, fileglobals, stationglobals) with the expression editing control, and he created an INI file with all my variable names and values.

    OK, now I wanted to created a custom tool of it. So when I create a new sequence Teststand, I can select tool-> LoadMyVariables and creates a current of my movie file INI file (let's call it the WORK SEQUENCE FILE).

    To create this tool, I put my LabVIEW VI in another Teststand sequence file (let's call it the FILE TOOL of SEQUENCE). what I call in my custom tool.

    The problem is that my LabVIEW VI "ThisContext" (the sequence context) need input and when I use my my WORK SEQUENCE FILE tool: it runs the TOOL SEQUENCE FILE and I can not access the my WORK SEQUENCE FILE ThisContext more.

    My question is: Y at - it a way to send "ThisContext" from a sequence in a sequencefile to a sequence in another sequence file? (using the custom tool Teststand)

    To help people in the situation, has the solution:
    -> To find the sequence in which it is called the tool, use the search string: "RunState.InitialSelection.SelectedSequence [0].

    -> In the words of change in this case, connect to its properties: the frame AND the engine!

  • Get the context of the sequence of other connectors (active) in the batch processing model

    TestStand 2014 - model updated the batch

    LV2014

    System controls an environmental Chamber and doing trials on 4 of the UUT.  Room Enviromental is the shared resource and is controlled by the synchronization of thread only lot.  A UI TempMonitor of Labview (also synchronized lot) pops up, until you reach the target temperature and soaking time is over (so you can monitor returns to the House and see the amount of time remaining.  It all works fine in the system of warnings in.

    Now, there is a new requirement to take permanently UUT s to ensure that they remain in the State during the temperature ramp and soak period.  The simple answer is to integrate this track in TempMonitor UI because it has access to all relevant data pads.  However, I would need to do an end run around traditional return since it is only run by one of the four (up to).

    My thought is that if I had access to all active sockets sequence contexts, I could ask them their index and State, follow up and write the results to réécrirait a local variable before leaving the user interface.  The only thing that prevents me from going forward, it's that I don't know how to get the engine to give me the sequence for each Active socket contexts (0-3 which may be disabled via the setting ContinueTesting false instead of disable flag, it is a product of use pass 3rd batch of party model, so the executions of people with disabilities are marked as completed when running rather than wait).

    Or, Alternatively, how inspect all executions and to determine what decision he belongs (if necessary, because my data acquisition engine runs in its own, hidden, execution).

    Thanks for any help,

    Actually, I was looking for a way to get the SequenceContext for the other active sockets that launched the TempMonitor GUI, so I could put results in the other sockets directly.

    However, I gave it, and instead I am launch the GUI TempMonitor in its own thread and have each socket to monitor the status of USE on its own with a separate VI until what the ramp / soak temperature is how the GUI will highlight Boolean StationGlobal that triggers the individual to continue.  More complicated, but also in the spirit of TestStand to things, I think.

  • How to understand the context of the sequence of time real labview

    Does anyone know how Labview RT to understand the context of teststand sequence? My sequence context is defined as "TS. SequenceContext' like the screenshot in attachment.

    If we point a VI for that sequence context then who use VI of teststand? and must add this VI to the Explorer of Projectr of Labview RT system to build the project?

    I use 2009 Labview and teststand 4.2.1.

    Thank you very much

    LabVIEW RT does not support the ActiveX required for TestStand.

  • Executes the sequence by programming

    Hello

    I see a problem by running the file in sequence by programming. I mentioned the example VI (C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2014 (32 bit) \Examples\TestStand API\Executing API\LabVIEW using sequences) comes with TS2014 which crosses the sequence context of sequence by invoking TSEngine so the entries to the VI are sequence context, movie file, the process template.

    To facilitate my task, I modified the code attached to make autonomous running the sequence through TSEngine directly to entries in VI are movie file and the model of process.

    It works fine when I run like VI, but does not work during the conversion into exe.

    Please let me know if I'm something wrong or missed something

    Thanks in advance

    -Vivek

    You should look into the creation of a user interface you want to execute your order by programming. The user interface can be hidden if it works the same as your code is planned. Start with the simple graphic interface "C:\Program Files (x 86) \National 2014\UserInterfaces\Simple\LabVIEW" so see how this can be done.

    More precisely. a person does not open a reference to the engine. What is much more common is a person placing the Application Manager control, call the Start method. and then get the reference to the engine here. Be sure to stop the application subsequently and additional references nearby. I guess because you're in a development environment is the reason that your code works like a VI.

  • How to get the overall result sequence into LabView?

    Hello

    Could someone can help with this little problem?

    We have a batch (.bat) that launches a list given TestStand sequences, which works as expected.

    However, we monitor the results of each sequence and display it to the operator.

    Our idea is to get the result of the sequence in a VI, executed at the end of the sequence and add it to a queue, which will be extracted and displayed on a monitor of VI, executed separately.

    The only problem we have left must be able to recover the overall result of the sequence. Any idea or suggestion?

    Thank you

    Raphael

    Thanks for all your replies. We finally finished queues sequencefailed node sequence context property value.

    I also discovered the TestStand database logging and began to use it in parallel.

    Thanks again

  • Removed some source files to clean up the project, ended up remove the clips in my sequence. I thought it would just appear as "media offline". Any way to recover them?

    I'm working on a big project and I had multiples of a lot of source files.  I deleted the duplicates in the interest to consolidate and clean up all this.  Warning messages jumped upwards, I could delete the files that were used, but in the past, he's always just showed up as "media disconnected", so I wasn't worried.  Now I'm looking through some of these sequences, and a lot of the clips are just disappeared completely.  Is it possible to recover?  Because she auto-enregistre, the new version of the project file has already been registered with all missing items.  I can't just Ctrl-Z it.  Help, please! Thank you!

    In Premiere Pro, if you delete a file at the OS level, you will see Offline media, but the issue real clip will remain in your order - offline, of course. However, if you remove items in the project Panel, which is what it looks like you could have done - all article clip to sequence that refer to these elements is also deleted. This is why they are called 'master clips,' because they determine the aspect and the existence of all the clips and the sub-items created from them.

    Assuming you have AutoSave enabled, you must have at least a few versions of your project that you could come back, hopefully before deletion. Look in the folder specified for your project AutoSave and find one just prior to the date and time when you did the deletion. You will probably want to make a copy of this and paste it into your main project folder, so that all the media links remain the same, and then open it. If all that was missing is back, you ready to move forward; If not, check out some of your other backup automatically.

  • Error variables look a tab after race change the user interface

    Hello

    I have a problem which seems to be a bit like this:

    http://forums.NI.com/T5/NI-TestStand/error-viewing-variables-tab-in-runtime-operator-interface/m-p/1...

    The VI I'm running is a step of edit of a type of step. LabVIEW checks if the property 'Step.Setup.ReadMeasName' exists, fills a listbox with her if she does. An another ListBox with all available measure names will also appear on the user interface. The user has an Add and Remove button to remove the 'ReadMeas' list box measures or add them to it of the listbox 'MeasNames '. Several names may be added/removed according to what is selected when you press the buttons. Once 'Fact' is clicked the VI writes the 'Ref' to the list box "ReadMeas" property to "Step.Setup.ReadMeasName", using a node to set the value of property that is passed the TestStand sequence context. If the property does not exist it creates.

    The only time where I have any problem is when I try to remove items from the property, after it is already initialized (i.e. non-empty). In other words, if I run the VI of teststand, put several names as in "ReadMeas" click on done, again run the VI (already added names appear in the box when the user interface is displayed, LabVIEW reads "Step.Setup.ReadMeasName"), then remove the names. IF "ThisContext.Step.Setup.ReadMeasNames" has opened in the tab 'Variables' step when you try to remove the names, I got this message in the Variables tab: 'one or more errors occurred. Please save your work and restart the application. "If I'm careful of not having expaded 'ThisContext' in the variables tab, but check the property before and after the removal of names in the list it does not work properly, and there is no error.

    This isn't a big problem because I doubt that the end user will check to see that the property has actually filled, but I still want to fix the bug if possible. I installed the patch for TestStand 2010 and the .net Framework 4.0. Someone has an idea of what might be happening here?

    Thank you

    Josh-

    Looks like you are running in a known issue 193751, which is documented in TestStand 2010 and 2010 SP1 known issues list. It is a problem that we intend to fix in a future version of TestStand.

    I hope this helps and I'm sorry for any inconvenience this issue may cause you.

  • Dequeue through LabVIEW API extremely slow?

    Hi I am storage step results in a queue. For this I use the movie Post result enter redial list file.

    Dequeue I use Labview API function, which waits for the next result and removes it for further processing.

    If my LabVIEW application retrieves the results, Teststand gets extremely slow. If I stop my application, it is extremely fast.

    It seems that there is a lock on the queue.

    How can I avoid this?

    You pass 'true' for the processMsgs argument to Dequeue? If this is not the case, try to do. Also, if you do this a step in a sequence from a call of code module in a labview VI, pass the step sequence context in to the sequence context parameter.

  • Property to tell whether the process model has been run?

  • Create a unique reference in step custom type to store execution

    I'll explain what I try to do first...

    I am trying to create a type of step (in combination with a call from sequence) that creates a new run.

    I want to keep the performance created in a reference object so I can send it to a user interface uiMsg screws.

    To allow maximum flexibility for developers using the step type, I'm doing any 'magic' when they insert the new type of step (creating Ref obj variable using substep OnNewStep, sending the uiMsg, etc.).

    I'm having a problem to the obj variable. I want to create with a unique name so they add the step type every time, it is not in conflict with another variable name. I well using the Step.TS.ID for the name of the variable, but I realized that some IDs contains the characters ' / ', ' # ' or ' + '. These characters are not accepted by TestStand to a variable name, but it seems that we do not get the error when we create the programmaticaly. It actually creates the variable with the ID name: #12243 + 12/asdf for example.

    When I use the Locals.GetPropertyObject ("The executions." + Step.TS.Id, 0x00) as a reference to store execution, it does not work.

    When I add the sequence step, Ref obj is properly created as expected (Locals.Executions. * stepID *).

    But the reference is never stored in the variable expected. It is stored instead of Locals.__SC_Executions.ID_ID #AIrDBpzuUuukUYrRX1gGC.

    I do something wrong or do you think that any another way to do this? I've included an example as an attachment. Thank you.

    PS: I tried to delete the first 4 characters of the step ID (ID # and I tried with an ID of the containing step only letters or numbers and it did not always work.) If illegal characters are used to name the object Ref may not be the problem

    Mast-

    Instead of: Locals.GetPropertyObject ("The executions." + Mid (Step.TS.Id, 4), 0x00)

    Use: Evaluate ("Locals.Executions" + Mid (Step.UniqueStepID, 4))

    The __SC_Executions container is automatically generated by TestStand to be used for other things and has nothing to do with the local variable that you set.

    I hope this helps.

  • To access the properties of an Error Message When you use the DisplayRunTimeErrorDialogEx method

    I have a reminder that displays the standard runtime error dialog box using the method Engine.DisplayRunTimeErrorDialogEx of custom error. http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052H-01/tsapiref/reftopics/engine_displayruntimeerrordial....  The parameters of this do not allow me to specify information about the error message available (via the properties of the stage of the appeal of error).  However, when built-in bed in treated TestStand display dialog runtime error through its methods of error handling he managed to fill in the details about the error.

    Anyone know how I can fill in the details and the error code from the dialog box fields when you use the DisplayRunTimeErrorDialogEx method to call it? See attached screenshot by one example of what I get when I use this method.

    Kind regards

    David

    Doug is correct; each sequence in the call stack has its own sequence context, so if you just "ThisContext" for the sequence context parameter, you provide the framework for the error callback, which has no error.  To access the context of the sequence that wrong, you use the caller property to get to the next level in the call stack, for example:

    RunState.Engine.DisplayRunTimeErrorDialogEx ("error Dialog", ThisContext.Caller, 0, False, False, False, False)

    I hope this clarifies!
