• TestStand Debug Deployment License Question

  I'm a little confused by the licensing OR and need advice...

  I have a PC that I use with a contract manufacturer that is set up to run LABView and Teststand
  applications.

  It was working fine until recently, I've updated this PC and receive the following backup TestStand license
  screen every time I run the TestStand on this PC application:

  

  When I try to activate this product online, I get the following screen:

  

  On this PC I have not loaded development system but I buy and had installed on this PC, a copy

  of the TestStand Base Deployment Engine. I don't know what is the debug deployment environment or how

  He got on this PC.

  If these are the same package, where can I find the serial number for the TestStand Base Deployment Engine on my

  2013 developer Suite CD?

  If these are not the same, How can I remove this backup reminder now so I can make sure I can run again TestStand

  applications on this PC (that I need to send it back to a remote site before 5 days)?

  Thank you

  Just delete the license files according to the link I mentioned earlier.  Then you should be able to activate correctly again.

• TestStand-19000 deployment error

  Hello

  I am trying to build my app TestStand deployment but I get an error:

  -19000-the library created in the source distribution is not valid. Contact National Instruments support. The file created is:

  It does NOT specify the file after the ': '.

  I've tried several fixes by browsing the log generated by the deployment engine, but now he gives me all the relevant information.

  If you want to check, the log is attached (this is an .xml file).

  Any help is really appreciated.

  Thank you!

  
  

• Impossible to use variables shared when deploying an exe file

  I tried to use variables shared for some time. I have been all over the forums and still have had no luck. I can get these VI to work until I have install on another PC while they do any work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I forced libraries to deploy, but they still do not work on the machine, that I install the exe file. I don't think that libraries are being installed. I can't see in the Distributed System Manager. I can see libraries on other machines, but not on the one that I have.

  Have you included libraries in section always included the source files.  You did, and then change the destination of the library of media files on the Source code file settings tab?

  In the code are you using the correct path when calling the libraries deployment method.   Current path of the VI should be stripped twice and have "data\name.lvlib" built in the end.

• FPGA host broken during the deployment of Exe

  Hi all

  I'm working on a project of 7954R FlexRIO with LabVIEW 2009.

  The executable works fine on the development computer, but when I try to run it on an other PXI with LabVIEW installed TEN, I get the error 1003 on host VI.

  On the host VI, the FPGA code is loaded using 'Reference of VI FPGA open' with a path bitfile.

  You have an idea on the reason of the problem?

  LabVIEW RTE is sufficient, or do I have to install additional software/drivers?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello Micael_,

  Thanks for posting on the forum of National Instruments.

  You must install LabVIEW 2009 RTE and the Driver NOR-RIO (with the support of FlexRIO) on desktop deployment.

  Can you tell us more about the error you got? Basically, the 1003 error indicates that a VI is not executable.

• Executable test sequence TestStand deployment

  Hello

  I would like to automate my test using TS environment and the BT.

  My goal is to have one machine with the development of TS (Inc. LV) for construction of test software that is compiled in one .exe file to run on the tested machine that does not have TS or LV

  Can I use the software for this task?

  It is for the main development computer:

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  779601 35	NEITHER Developer Suite, English, include 3 years SSP	1
  779602 35	NEITHER Developer Suite Automated Test Option, include 3 years SSP	1

  It is for the machines to run the tests on:

  777774-3505 NI TestStand Base Deployment Engine License 5 unit Bundle

  I would like to have an option to monitor the performance of the tests on each machine and if necessary to perform debugging on the tested machine operations.

  If the package above will provide this capability so where can I find the documentation to create .exe files to run on test computers?

  If not, what software will provide this capability?

  Thank you

  Lev,

  These are the correct packages for TS development and deployment.  The only thing is that you have little debugging with the deployment license features.  If you want to debug, so instead of the deployment license they have licensed TestStand Debug.

  http://www.NI.com/TestStand/deploy-compare/

  More about licenses: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B4B7C4ADB9B21B3F86256D360061891F

  One thing you should realize is that TestStand creates no executables.  Because TS is essentially a scripting language, you deploy the raw files.  These raw files feeding the TestStand engine and execute the steps in order.

  TestStand comes with 10 different (fully customizable) User Interfaces.  What are executables and run above the TestStand engine.  They allow you to run your sequence files (mostly scripts).  You will only need to use 1 of them.  The User Interface is so technically the executable for a deployment machine.

• With the help of dynamically called screw in TestStand deployment

  I write code to interface with a & Rohde Schwarz ZNB Network Analyzer.  I use LabVIEW 8.2 and TestStand 3.5.  For reference the ZNB driver is available here: R & S of ZNB Driver.  I use a slightly older version of the driver, some before they needed to LabVIEW 2009.  I am writing all the code on a development machine that has the full version of TestStand/LabVIEW and it works on another machine that has the TestStand deployment license.

  This driver is dynamically linked to some things he needs.  I am able to operate with simple LabVIEW EXEs but not in TestStand deployments.  The following excerpt comes from their documentation, explaining a little about how the driver works and how to use in LabVIEW EXEs.

  3.4.2 How to generate executables or libraries in LabVIEW driver kernel drivers instrument based on attributes is dynamically bound to any VI performed during execution. This can be recognized by the LabVIEW application builder. The LabVIEW application builder follows all the static dependencies and include them in the package distributed at the generation of an executable file.

  To create an executable in LabVIEW, please manually add all the screws in the \PREFIX \_utility\callbacks folder to the LabVIEW project. In the case of project based please add private to your project folder. With this reference manual, the driver core is included in the compilation and the driver core is accessible during execution.

  I can't get this to work in TestStand deployments at all.  I can't even connect to the device since the VI Init has these issues.  I get the same error for all the various attempts that I made.  The same error is that when you add manually the screws for the LabVIEW EXE.

  So far, I tried the following, all solutions producing this same error.  I struggled with this and turned off for awhile then maybe there are other solutions attempts I forget.

  (1) it looked like a lot of the report to go to the private folder were finished in SupportVIs.  I manually pasted the rest there, too.

  (2) I added all driver files on my workspace and included in the files with the rest of my deployed screws.

  (3) I added all driver files on my workspace and said pilot TestStand to deploy them to the original location in Program Files.

  Someone at - it ideas?  R & S didn't even know what was TestStand, so that they could not help me.

  I was finally able to solve this problem on mine, the other day.  I brought the Network Analyzer to my office and did a lot of tests in this way.  Eventually, I discovered that I needed to include the folder private pilot deployment, what I was doing in one of previous attempts.  It turns out that you must also maintain the original of this file directory structure when you include it, otherwise dynamic calls are not looking in the right place.  Once it worked on my PC, I got it on the machine test and worked as well.

• Deployment utility and Labview Modules

  Hello

  I'm relatively new to TestStand. I created a TestStand sequence that calls a number of modules of Labivew. Everything works fine on my development computer.

  I'm deploying to another computer running a development basic license. I ran the utility of development and created one setup.exe which I just installed on machine 2.

  When I go to run my test on machine 2 sequence, it cannot locate the modules labview called in the test sequence.

  So my questions are:

  1. Can TestStand to deploy these files for me or do I have to do it manually?
  2. If it is possible, is there a specific folder, I would store all the failet of labview on my development for the deployment utility machine, picks them up?
  3. Is there an option in the deployment utility that I have to settle for TestSTand pick up these modules?
  4. There is a special option that I should set in the movie file? Search box?

  Thank you best regards &,.

  Hello

  You should be able to see the LabVIEW VI in your deployment tool. If you can't then this is why you don't see them on the target system.

  Do you use a TestStand files work/project space?

• 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.

• Binding files seq for teststand

  I'm looking to rebuild a PC that had a few corrupted files and had to

  reload the Teststand base deployment software but now my sequence files

  must be related to teststand.

  How can I associate my files in sequence with teststand so that when I click on the desktop icons

  they get loaded into the test bench like they used to do?

  Thank you

  
  

• A VI deployed on RT can be opened in the IDE?

  A VI that has been deployed on a target RT .vi format can be retrieved and somehow open LabVIEW?

  Or the code source is lost forever, just as when you deploy to .exe format?

  I don't want him back, but make sure that it cannot be done by others...

  Hi Snamprogetti,

  I assumed that when you say 'A VI that has been deployed on a target RT .vi format' you are referring to the available in the LabVIEW project deployment process: If so, the code VI is not copied "such what" (with a .vi file saved on the target RT) but only the generated code is transferred to the target and managed by LV RT.

  Anyway, all of the code (i.e. screw) you deploy to a target RT can be configured to have no pattern-block or even the façade. You can do this when configuring the build specification in the LabVIEW project RTEXE.

  Let me know if I understood your question,

  Best regards

• Developer application newbie - EXE does not write to disk

  I am running LabVIEW 14 on a box of Windows 7 here in my office.  I develop and test here, and then build an EXE file and deploy this EXE on a remote PC from Win7 via TeamViewer.  He worked for a number of intermediate screws that do not involve writing to the disk.  The last EXE works exactly as I want it to work on my local machine, but when I deploy it into the remote area...

  .. .There seems to have difficulty to create the output file that is generated by the Subvi 'write the spreadsheet file.  To emphasize: it works on my local PC.

  I assume that the problem is a permissions issue, so after trying a number of different paths, both coded hard in the VI as a path variable and dynamically generated by an access path dialog box, I've hardcoded the path as

  C:\Users\Public\

  and changed the permissions on this folder in the "permissive" possible.

  Now, the VI correctly generates the next file of daughter, e. g.,.

  C:\Users\Public\20140902144410\

  in which the name of the folder is simply the yyyymmddhhmmss to the current timestamp to execution of VI.  Whenever the VI runs, I want it to create this unique folder and put the files of multiple worksheet in it.  THIS FOLDER if POSTER, but none of the files are created inside.  So that troubleshooting, I have created an indicator to show the path of the initial release that is created during the start-up phase of the VI, and it returns the correct value, as shown in the attached JPG screenshot.  Yet once again, the folder appears successfully at the right place in the directory structure.

  Am I wrong to assume that the likely problem here is a permissions problem?

  Thanks for any help... and the solutions!

  NathanD, I just checked the code works on my local PC if I run in the development environment or as an exe.  I have also found, alas, that several different programs on the remote PC have difficulties to establish links with virtual COM ports through which my series instruments are available.  As my LabVIEW code do attempt to read a same COM port the first time, unless you bytes is > 0 to this port and the output files will be created only once the first stream of data is read from a COM port, that must be the problem, and not something with my LabVIEW code after all.

  Once again, thank you to you two.

• Live copy of a deployment system

  I saw a reference to an article that explains why you can not just copy screws to a deployment system. I took as gospel, but now am being bothered by skeptics. I too got a way with a few times but more often now it does not work. Could you point me to that article please?

  Thank you

• How to load an exe file in a secondary?

  I want to deploy an exe file containing a secondary on a system without the LabVIEW development environment. I want to load a different exe in the secondary.

  It missing me something quite basic, but how do I open a reference to the exe? I know how to open run and load a vi in a secondary but how I reference if it is an exe? Reference open vi says that's a unexpected file type.

  In order to avoid an argument,

  The VI includes 'compiled' objects that are updated every time that you run your VI.

  These compiled objects are equivalent for function calls in the execution of labview.

  This is not so different to the behaviour of the .net framework.

  Your basic functions such as +, -, x, /, can be compiled into microcode simple, which requires intelligence will be in the frame or the runtime

  So all is good, it depends on what angle you are looking at him.

• How to build testStandLVRTS for TestStand 4.1

  Section http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/5CD8196D39880CDF86257450000B7C44 says that

  TestStand 4.1 no longer ships an executable version of TestStand LabVIEW Runtime (TestStandLVRTS.exe) server.  The LabVIEW TestStand execution server must be generated before it can be used in an executable file. To build the TestStandLVRTS, you must follow the instructions in the \Components\RuntimeServers\readme.txt

  I installed TestStand 4.1, but I do not see this Readme, the RuntimeServers directory is empty. Is there any place I can see this statement?

  Hi Ray,

  Forget my previous question. I thought about it. Use TestStandLVRTS as other executables in LabVIEW, adapter configuration window use not TestStandLVRTS.exe. Mybe TestStand should be smart enough to ignore .exe to avoid the error.
