• Sequencefileload freezes when calling DLL

  Hello

  I TestStand 4.1, and when calling a DLL on the MainSequence, everything seems to work fine, but if I call him on a SequenceFileLoad TestStand freezes on this step.

  What could be the problem?

  Kind regards

  Daniel Coelho

  Daniel,

  In fact, printf() can be the problem.  Because you are calling it in DLLMain, there are additional considerations you need to keep in mind.  Microsoft has a great page on these considerations here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682583 (VS.85) .aspx

  Some excerpts:

  The entry point function must perform only the tasks of termination or simple to initialization. It should not call the LoadLibrary or LoadLibraryEx function (or a function that calls these functions), as this can create dependency loops in the DLL load order.

  Calling functions that require one dll other than Kernel32.dll can cause difficult to diagnose problems. For example, the calling user, Shell and COM functions may cause access violation errors, because some functions to other components of the system load. Conversely, calling functions of these courses of termination can cause an access violation because the corresponding component may already have been unloaded or errors not initialized.

  I'm sure that printf() is a shell command.  Also, while loading the file in sequence, it is likely that TestStand loading of DLLs or COM objects at the same time, which could conflict with a code that you have in DLLMain.

  Apart from that, Microsoft strongly recommends against any unnecessary code in DLLMain.  If this problem only may not be something to do with the products NOR, but more practical copies creation of DLL in general.

• Adobe after effects cs4 freezes at startup on "Initializing user interface".

  Hello

  I downloaded the trail of adobe after effects cs4. I installed it on my old laptop from 2005 (2.00 ghz processor, 2 GB ram, 128 MB graphics card) and it works fine. Then I installed it on my new 2009 office (duel 3.00 ghz processor, 4 GB of ram, nivda geforce gtx 260 896 MB video card) it installed fine, but when I tried to start it it would freeze on "Initializing user interface" in the start menu.

• 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

  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.

• Minimize the problem of the user interface

  Hello:

  When using the top right minimize button in Teststand CVI Full-Featured user interface, by clicking on the item in the taskbar does not work to restore the display of the interface. Instead, to do a right click on the taskbar and choose "unminimize". It's very confusing, particularly for our operators to test.

  Can it be fixed so that the button reduce works as a right click on the taskbar item and choosing to reduce?

  We use the CVI 9.0.1 and Teststand 4.0.1f1.

  Thank you

• TestStand 2014 freezes when I select a path from the project during an Action LabVIEW using LabVIEW TERM 2014

  In the company that I work, we have a solution that uses the two TestStand 2014 and 2014 LabVIEW.

  We work with the development version of the two, but we are deploying our automation using TestStand and Labview Runtime engine 2014.

  We tried to deploy a new station, but during the analysis of our project, the User Interface for Teststand (version Deploy) froze.

  I tried several things and decided to install a full version of TestStand 2014 and 2014 LabVIEW to try to debug the problem.

  What I've discovered is that when I create a new sequence in TestStand, add a VI Action and try to load the path to the project, the TestStand freezes if I use the adapter Runtime.

  If I go to the LabVIEW development system adapter in TestStand, it works. However, I need to use the Runtime since it's free while the LabVIEW Development is paid.

  We already use our solution in other places, and this is the first time, it never happened. The only post I found online that had something to do with this issue is this.

  If I remove the path of the project and call the VI himself, as "dvu", said in his second post, it works.

  However, it is something not good to do in our automation together, since we have several calls from LabVIEW.

  Any ideas on how to do this only works with 2014 DURATION and 2014 Runtime LabVIEW TestStand?

  Thank you!

  Thanks a lot Stop_Luke_and_Listen, but the guy where the deployment was made called the support NEITHER and they couldn't find the problem, so they formatted the PC.

  Now it works very well, so I won't be able to generate the report. It would have been a great idea.

  Thank you!

  SOLUTION: Format the PC and reinstall.

• 2013 TestStand user interfaces

  I upgraded to TestStand 2013. When I try to use the all-in-one User Interface or UI Simple, I still have two mistakes any which sequence file, I run.

  

  

  I also noticed that the 'TestStandModelModelOptions.ini' Cfg file is the same file from 2012. It not was not upgraded or updated when 2013 has been installed.

  Unfortunately, I tried upgrading 2013 LabWindows/CVI and had nothing but problems when I did. Now, I tried the upgrade of 2013 TestStand and nothing else problems. I am seriously considering to move away tools NOR completely!

  Hi rreis,

  What version of .NET are you running?

  Many times this error is related to incompatibility between the applications created in 2012 of LabWindows/CVI and previous and the 4.5 .NET framework. The link below addresses a registry key which has been developed as a work around for this problem.

• How can I join buttons visible teststand keyboard shortcuts in a labview user interface

  On a normal labview VI, it is possible to configure the desired for example key navigation options assign a keyboard shortcut to a control. Is it possible somehow to assign a keyboard shortcut to the visible controls ActiveX Teststand i.eg. a basic custom user interface labview Teststand button?

  Help, please

  You may be able to do by cloning of each button, assign a shortcut to the clone, and then firing an event and call the method "DoClick' of the TestStand button - I say maybe because I can't verify the DoClick method will do what you want.

  Obviously, you can hide the clones on the front panel if necessary.

• Application and interface scrambled freeze when the effect is on the clip

  Dear users of Adobe.

  Some day my application Adobe first CC began to malfunction. Maybe some Windows 7 update or update graphics card fit, because when I saw this problem on a project, all projects, I opened have been made from this time and new project as well.

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM:
  When I apply any effect to any clip, the user interface freezes. It works, but the display is hanged:

  -I can rub on the timeline, but the timeline indicator does not move (clip playing on monitor or second full screen and rubbing noise is there)

  -I can toggle effect, but the icon remains (I see on the photo that the effect is en/diss)

  -Effect cannot be edited or deleted

  -On some effects first freezes if I try to change the effect (kill application in the Task Manager is required)

  -Program start to answer (and I can edit effects) once I reset workspace. I have to reset the workspace after each / every effect is applied to the clip. What is bulky.

  -Problem exists with all the custom saved space and work with the first all those, as well with those I create new ones. Workspace so probably not corrupted.

  -J' have all Windows updates and the latest version of the software of GPU (I even tried several beta different drivers from nVidia, but no change to the problem).

  I have two screens on nVidia GTX770 (ASUS) where one is the program monitor, and it shows image full screen. Problem is the same if only one view is used, but while testing this I found another scenario where MISTLETOE is reset, without reset via menu option: If the focus went from the Panel to the PROGRAM Committee, GUI is reset and I can work normally. This work only if two panels are on the same group, the Panel of the hidden program because while the effect controls panel is active. If I drag the effects (on second monitor) TIME focus have no effect. I need to reset the workspace only.

  Some effects become not only which do not meet, but even the hang first if I try to edit before you reset space work (or switch effect-> program). In this case, I need to kill the process monitor first (Task Manager). If I reset the right of the workspace after that I place effect on clip, first work normally until I add new effect to new (or even) a clip. If I COPY-PASTE effects from clip to clip, it works without the reset workspace.

  When I close the first, more often it does not turn OFF in process list. I have to kill the process before I want to run again. Or restart the PC, of course. I know when he did not stop second doe to display full-screen does not return to the office, but stays black until I have to kill the first. First remains in memory even if I use only one view. QT32 process stops when I kill the process of creation.

  During the problem done first, Adobe Media Encoder does not work. It begins its own process of QT32 and it closes properly, without worrying first is stuck or active.

  I have a slight idea this problem started when I installed first CS6 and it have uninstalled after leaving Encore CS6 on the system. I think it is software problem, because lately, I is no rate of material. The system is almost 2 years old SB-E with INTEL DX79SR Board. I reinstalled windows, a few months before, but the problem started a week ago after some update or even CS6 associated. I can't say for shure. I have no install/uninstall other software PC lately.

  I use the 6.5 version first. I always solved my problems by reinstalling Windows and first or by finding the solution on the forums. This time I found nothing on all internet and I cannot reinstall system before finishing long project. But this problem, it is more difficult to finish. It seems that system is slower and less sensitive, as it used to be.

  Thank you very much for any advice or solution.

• Adding custom flags to the TestStand UI user interface

  Hello! I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't really find what I am looking for. I have a TestStand sequence that contains a stable loop cycle parts several times. I would like to show a pass fail count on each side on the user interface according to the current state of sequences (real-time). the parties can run 1000 times or more, and the UI should show the count for each + a LED to show if the component is always active.

  What is the best way to do something like that? The mail user interface? If so how do I set up the messages and have a counter for each share value? Each of the parties would have its own unique message?

  Thanks for any help you can give me. If you could provide a quick example.

  Bill

  Don't know what version of LabVIEW and TestStand, you have, but I threw together a little demo of what you want.  Just run the TopLevel.vi, then open the sequence in the zip file.

• Possible bug found in hyperlinkctrl.c when you use the "VAL_POINTING_FINGER_CURSOR" mouse cursor in your own user interface.

  Hi people, I think I found a bug in the hyperlinkctrl.c custom control, after the update/upgrade an old project CVI.

  I found when I started using the "VAL_POINTING_FINGER_CURSOR" mouse in my UI, when adding a new hyperlink control.

  The error is recoverable error: ' from the mouse cursor is not valid.

  This error breaks in RunUserInterface (never seen anything like this before and I use CVI since version 3.1).

  This happens whenever I mouse - hovering anywhere on the Panel that contains the new hyperlink control.

  I also had a hack temporary to solve the problem, for now, I'll pass it along to this announcement...

  The hyperlink control's source code is located in \toolslib\custctrl\hyperlinkctrl.c

  The bug/problem lies in the service of reminder (of HyperLinkPanelCallback), specifically in lines 460 to 465.

  This hyperlink control wants to use the VAL_POINTING_FINGER_CURSOR as its default cursor when you hover over the custom hyperlink.

  However, if you already use 'VAL_POINTING_FINGER_CURSOR' in your user interface, the branch which verifies that you use what he thinks is 'his own' thread-safe mouse cursor ID, so that can reset it by using his "token concatenation" - created macro "GetTsvCursor", is not an 'else' branch to protect the picture when you actually use the cursor pointing finger... where the error that the mouse cursor is not valid. Here is the snippet of these lines.

  The mouse is not over a hyperlink
  If (cursor is VAL_POINTING_FINGER_CURSOR)
  {
  Reset the cursor to the previous cached cursor
  cursor = GetTsvCursor();
  errChk (SetMouseCursor (cursor));

  ... etc...

  }

  So my hack was to change the type of cursor to "VAL_CHECK_CURSOR" in place and place the cursor of "VAL_POINTING_FINGER_CURSOR" in three locations in this function, then rebuilt files x 86 and x 64.

  Hey Luis, finally win a free T-shirt of LabWindows/CVI with not only have reported this bug, but also to give the precise location of the source, as well as a work around?

  In the meantime, I have submitted a bug with ID #545203 report to track down this problem.

• Simple TestStand in LabVIEW user interface

  Hello community,

  I design a user interface for Teststand using the simple example of vi. The name of the file is VI.vi of first level

  I am trying to understand works vi inorder to make changes and ran into a few questions that I was hoping someone could answer for me please.

  To begin, I add my file sequence and click on 'Test DUT'. Then a dialog box appears asking to enter the serial number of the UUT, where and what are the causes that to happen in the code? After I entered my serial number it turns my code sequence and at the end an another message specifying in a green or red if the UUT success or failure. Where and what are the causes of success/failure boxes happen in the code?

  Thank you

  Kevin

  If you had posted this on the forum of TestStand, you would be probably got some of the answers better.

  But in the meantime, you need to open the SequentialModel.seq (or what is process model you use) and navigate to the entry Point of execution sequence, you use.  In this case, click Test UUT, the icon in the list of sequence and track the flow of test.

  With respect to the banner that appears after execution of USE test.  The banner is implemented as a DLL in the PostUUT callback.  It is based on the status of the MainSequence callback result.  It is the result of the test that you started by test DUT.

  The best advice I can give you is to go through the sequence of process template file and learn that it is not an easy task, but worth the effort.

  Thank you

  Thanks in advance!

  Well, I found a solution for the bug here. I was using sockets to communicate between my headless and requests for benefits and in my slot look for disconnect events in my application without a head, I got this code:

  void disconnected()
  {
      ...
      _socket->close();
      delete _socket;
      ...
  }
  

  I then changed this slot to look something like this, that solved my problem:

  void disconnected()
  {
      ...
      _socket->close();
      _socket->deleteLater();
      ...
  }
  

  My guess is that I tried to remove the plug while he was still waiting to be delivered to her events. Using deleteLater(), the event loop is responsible for the removal of the plug once all the events have been delivered, preventing the application from crashing.
