TestStand 2016 - sequence Analyzer

• Sequence Analyzer rules: Expressions must evaluate to a value of the expected type

  Sequence Analyzer reports all sorts of errors because I'm indexing of the results list.

  1. For example: error in argument 2, 'Locals.ResultList [Locals.idx] .status is 'Error',' in the call to the function of the expression "AnyOf. Name of variable or unknown property 'Locals.ResultList [Locals.idx].status'.

     This is perfectly valid at run time but the parser recognizes that, probably because the list starts with the vacuum.

     Is it possible that I have clean code to reduce these error reports?

     I tried to create a "Result" element in a Foreach loop, but could not find a type of 'Result' anywhere.

  2. In addition, under the same article, array off limits. index is given as a problem when I define a table instead of 0.1 1.2 terminals so that I can use buttons hit on the index in the array.

     It's also quite correct but marked as an error.

  3. Another rule that makes me crazy is all sequences of escapement used in expressions must be valid, for example:the expression "StationGlobals.RootPath & ' Configuration\VP Automated Test parts and limit Config.txt" ' is meant to be a path. "Use '-' instead of"."

     I don't know what, if anything, I should fix in the string because this file get opened correctly.

  Can someone suggest ways to "fix" or "clean" these errors? I would prefer not to have to justify why I do nothing on errors reported by the parser to my QA group.

  You can avoid the error of the Analyzer by something similar to the following:

  Locals.AnyErrors = PropertyExists ("Locals.ResultList [" + Str (Locals.idx) + "] .status")? (Locals.ResultList [Locals.idx]. GetValString("status", 0) == "Error"): false

  To create a copy of the item as a local variable, you can do the following:

  Locals.SetPropertyObject ("myelementVar", PropOption_InsertIfMissing, Locals.ResultList [Locals.idx]. Clone ("", PropOption_CopyAllFlags |) PropOption_DoNotShareProperties))

  Note that this property will exist only at run time, if you create a placeholder variable in it to change time and it will get replaced by this expression during execution.

• sequence Analyzer: data transfer between the Analyzer rule one sequence to another

  Is there a way by which I can send data to the Analyzer rule a sequence to another.

  I've created rules to count the number of SCOPE, step REQUIREMENT TEXT step, step in the PROCESS

  Now, I want to create another regulation that reads the values of each of these rules

  Tah44-

  One of my colleagues brought a different, probably better idea to my attention this morning:

  Use the AnalysisContext.GetRuleAnalysisData method to access the data of other rule analysis: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052P-01/tsref/infotopics/sa_creating_analysis_modulesimpl...

• TestStand: Create sequence group

  Can I create a sequence in sequence similar to the "Setup", main TestStand group' and groups of 'clean '?

  I would like to have a subgroup of these top-level groups and use them as '#region' is used in the c# language.

  It's not possibe.  You can only have 3 groups of step and they are defined for you.

  What is the reason for this?  Maybe there is a better way to reach your goal.

• Analyzer of sequence running from the command line in TestStand 2010

  Hello

  I would like to be able to run and control the stand-alone command line sequence Analyzer.  I can do that in 2014 TS (and it seems that I could patch versions as soon as 2012 TS to give them this ability), as described here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B927893F26BFB64A86257ECE006E442D

  However, I work with a large existing codebase in 2010 TS (with no intention to migrate to a newer version, in the foreseeable future).  Is it possible to get the same functionality from command line in the 2010 version of the parser?

  I know that I can open the command line parser, but are the commands, I am interested in: analyze, report, / save, /clearMessagesOnSave, / minimize, / help, / / leave.

  Thank you!

  Thanks Ryan, Jigg,

  Yes, I can run the parser (and opened a project), but basically, I can't run anything.

  I realized what I do by writing a TestStand sequence that calls the parser to sequence through its API (attached).  I can then run TestStand (and call this sequence) from the command line.

• TestStand deployment error - error: unable to locate all the screws saved subVIs because it lacks a Subvi

  Hello

  I am a systems and software engineer based in Vancouver. I developed a test system automated using 2013 LabVIEW and TestStand 2013 with custom operator interface.
  I encountered problem 'lack screw' which is kind of weird because I went to analyze the sequence for the TestStand Deployment Utility and TestStand sequence editor > files broadcast tab.
  But when I tried to build the installer and reach the point ' called distribution screw, it always throws an error saying "an error occurred trying to read the error of the screw, possible because the screws are not saved in the latest version of LabVIEW. Do you want to save any changes now? ". I tried both (that is to say Yes and no) for this option, but it has not solved the problem.

  This is part of the original error message displayed in the TestStand deployment utility:
  " ***************************
  Then the treatment live...
  Error: Cannot locate all the subVIs screws saved because a Subvi is missing or the VI is not registered in the last version of LabVIEW.
  The chain of calls to missing screws:
  1 - ATE_AccelerometerTest.vi
  2 - CreateAndMergeErrors.vi (missing)
  3 - LogControl_CheckForErrorSendUpdates.vi (missing)"

  All screw missing come from userlib.

  Actions performed:
  -File of sequence analyzed by using the TestStand Deployment Utility and TestStand sequence editor
  -Checked "search directories" include all the necessary files/dependencies.
  -Mass to compile the directory of the missing screws
  -Added all the necessary files and folders in the workspace file.

  The result is always the same function according to the actions performed.

  Debugging last I did earlier, is that I tried to find the sequence and steps missing screws as shown above (for example ATE_AccelerometerTest.vi)
  and I discovered that the measure appears to be an empty action step. This would be possible even if it has already passed the analysis?

  Other considerations include:

  I'm using sp1 2013 LabVIEW and TestStand 2013. We tried the building three 3 computers and we only managed once to a freshly installed comptuer.

  Hoping to hear from you soon.

  Hi all

  We were able to solve the problem. First of all to note is that the release notes in 2013 TestStand is obsolete and we confirmed engineer OR Austin TestStand 2013 works very well with LabVIEW 2013 SP1.

  Second, we played option deployment TestStand that solved the problem. Attached are the pictures.

  We have activated just the 'delete unused Components VI'. It could be one of the libraries (lvlib) we have included in the compilation, but we've not thought of it again because we have checked that all the screws are working. It could also be something else that I think is very hard to find from information. However, if someone had the same problem, this could be useful.

  Again, we return to using 2013 TestStand and LabVIEW 2013 SP1.

  I appreciate all comments and feedbacks. Otherwise, you can close this request for assistance.

  Thank you.

  Kind regards

• Export/import teststand settings.

  TestStand environment settings are stored in several files in the Cfg folder located in ProgramData.
  If we have changed the settings in a test environment according to our condition and wants to deploy on another machine, need to replace the folder Cfg on this PC with us to see the changes of environment parameter in action.
  Ideally, we should be capable of maintaining the Cfg custom folder instead of overwrite the existing Cfg folder. Is their any other way to do instead of overwrite files system TS as good practice.

  Cfg files are not considered TestStand system files and are intended to be customized.  This is why they are not in the folder TestStand and undergo ProgramData.  Currently, it is advisable to deploy them as you said.

  TestStand 2016 makes all this easier but you should adapt.  Read this article in TestStand environments: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/52330/en/

• get the limits of the step of a sequence in a labview program

  I am writing a labview program to access the different properties of teststand sequences to automatically enter the data of the sequence for the documentation.

  The step.limits.high property is very difficult to recover from the teststand programmatically sequence by simply using the sequence as input file.

  Does anyone know how to get the limits on a stage in a movie file?

  Thank you very much, Mr President.  I'll take here.

• Deployment w / Type custom (CommonResults)

  OK, first of all, I admit I'm not an expert when it comes to Types or even their deployment... where the issue. I'm looking for a recommended way to handle the situation I have.

  Situation: I have test sequences with a change to CommonResults. We put a Boolean variable to 'IncludeInProductionLog '. I expect to see this property on all steps in the sequence. I have the sequence initially registered in TS 4.1 / LV 8.6 and now I'm upgraded to TS 2013 SP1 / LV 2013 SP1. It seems that, before developers (not me) had replaced the pallets of Type on our development machine as this type was standard on the computer. Now, when I open it on a new machine, I get a Type conflict (no surprise here). I have the option to use the Type of the sequence (the one that I want) or use the Type currently loaded into memory (by default installed w / TS).

  So I select load the Type from the file in the sequence. Cool, looks good, but my ParallelModel.seq / NI_DatabaseTypes.ini / NI_FlowControl.ini /.../NI_Types.ini all have the sign (*) next to them as if they have been updated and should be saved. Of course, I get that I changed the types in memory and therefore these pallets Type / ProcessModel everyone thinks that they have been updated. More on that later.

  I plan on deployment (Deployment TestStand) my sequence of about 10 machines, all new w / TS new installs. I don't want to go through and update all the pallets of Type / type of conflict dialog boxes that come with this. I'm looking for how to deploy either my Type Palletes, save this CommonResults in MyTypes.ini or something that I can just deploy the CommonResult Type updated and I can't go through all the headaches of type conflicts.

  I tried the things:

  I've been good analysis that the documentation (I try to RTFM when I can) and he talks about versioning of Types and have it select the latest version. Updated my type of sequence to 5.2.0.0 (old version was 5.1.0.0) but I still get the same type conflict.

  I know that the Type of TestStand differ is there, but once again, without really understanding what I'm doing and eager to have this "get" just with my deployment, I'm looking for other options.

  What I need:

  It is quite simple, just do not have the conflicts of Type, don't want the user to have to save all Types or ProcessModel and I don't care even to maintain the types of origin on these systems. I'm happy to just replace. Just want to make sure I'm on the subject with "best practices" in mind.

  Sorry for the long post... any recommendations would be useful. Thanks in advance!

  I recommend that you update all files of type palette to have the latest version of your type of CommonResults and re-record the (you may need to run teststand "as Administrator" when you do this because the files are in the directory program files and therefore are not writable by default on newer operating systems). You must then make sure you install those in the \Components\TypePalettes directory on your target computers, overwriting those installed there by default. Which will get rid of type conflicts, you see.

  When you open files from existing sequence they will be marked as modified if they were not already using your version of CommonResults, but you don't necessarily have to resave all since they get converted back to use your CommonResults type whenever they are responsible since the type is in the type palette files, but if you want to get rid of the brand of change you need to re-register the. You can use the tool "Sequence update files... "in the sequence editor to re-record them all at once.

  In the future, you can consider using the 'Other results' feature more recent, or adding an attribute to the result object of a step use CommonResults instead. They have not the same problems with the type of conflict and change file because they have now a custom data type used by all the steps.

  Hope this helps,

• Open and close an exec command via OpenG.lib in separate screw line

  Hello

  I am aiming to perform tests on my orders to shipments USE - on a command line executable that makes a USB connection, then--and checking the returned string.

  So far, I'm reusing the pipeNight.vi that is shared in the following post.

  http://forums.NI.com/T5/LabVIEW/how-to-pass-input-to-a-DOS-executable-that-is-running-in/m-p/1763182...

  However I would like to expand LabVIEW and use NI TestStand sequence files to increase test coverage and perform tests automatically.

  The issue I have encountered - whenever I call the pipeNight.vi from a TestStand step sequence, the USB connection is accumulation and torn down.

  Although I'm not encounter problems of performance to date, I would finally like to log (i.e.establish usb connection) - at the beginning of a sequence file, send a bouquet or orders and check back strings, before closing the session at the end of the sequence file. It is probably a more effective and elegant solution.

  Is it possible to split the pipeNight.vi in several bolts to achieve this somehow?

  -Open

  Read/write

  -Close

  I appreciate and help or solutions alternatice on it!

  B.Regards

  Kech

  Looks like you need to learn how to pass a reference back in TestStand, you can call the subVIs. This is a pretty basic task.

• Several versions of TestStand (2013 and 2016)

  Are there problems of having several versions of the TestStand development environment installed on my development machine? Thank you.

  Hi stephenb2,

  There is no problem with having multiple versions of installed TestStand. There are a few things to keep in mind though.

  Only one version of TestStand engine can be active at a time. Use the Version TestStand selector to change the active version. Sequence of files created in TestStand 2013 can be opened in 2016, but not vice versa (although you can save as a previous version if you wish). Finally, you have separate directories for each version, so make sure you know what directory/version, you are working in.

  Hope that helps!

• error-18004 in 2016 TestStand

  I am convert 3.1 to 2016 TestStand and LabVIEW 8.6 to 2016.  When I try to run my sequence file, I get the following error when the preload module: LabVIEW: unexpected file type.  Error code:-18004, error to the DLL of the LabVIEW Run-Time engine.  Source: "THOMAS" I can open the LabVIEW vi without any problem and have tried to re - register, which did not help.  If I delete this file in sequence step, the other loading steps and run fine.

  See image attached error.

  Never mind.  I found that it was pointing to code that I had compiled mass.  For some reason, the compilation of all performed mass screws unreadable.  I used a backup of the files and now they don't give me an error.

• Step by step single run through a sequence TestStand using the API

  Anyone know if it is possible to break a sequence of execution and then simple step during various stages of a sequence using the API TestStand?

  Pause and resume running no problem, but step by step once execution is broken turns out to be illusory.

  Largely received ideas
