Re: Loading default limits for every execution

Hi Doug,

 

Thank you for your input. Your solution is the closest the solution I need.

 

I'd say even your tip is perfect but one thing stops me saying that. You said:

 

dug9000 wrote:

(...) you will get a fresh copy of the sequence based on the original edit time copy of a sequence each time your sequence is called (...)

 

 

I'm worry about not the speed of loading you mentioned associated with your solution but the potential problems with the memory. Let say, I call the main sequence 1000 times without interrupting of the execution. So instead of having one copy of the sequence called with cleared/reinitialised all variables and properties I have 1000 copies in the memory. I'd call it a waste to have 1000 copies only because I need to have the the properties and variables cleared.

 

However, as I said, your solution is the closest the solution I need.

 

I still think that this idea needs to be impemented.

Why FindFile() cannot support *.txt this kind of file name?

I want to find a TXT in the current folder where the sequence is.Because the TXT name is not fixed,so every time I need to search and then get the path.

But FIndFile() cannot support a *.txt like below:

FindFile("*.txt", True, Locals.Path, 3)

 

Anyone has a solution?

 

Thanks!

User Input Dialog

I am using TestStand 2013, CVI as a GUI and Labview2013, I have generated a vi that is displays a user input dialog so that the operator can input a socket number and a serial number, etc with some checking to ensure the data is within a specific range. The problem i am having is that when the dialog is displayed it also brings forward the TestStand TestExec.exe over my nice CVI GUI.

 

Is there any way to programatically minimize the TestExec.exe once started and the operator logged in or a way to stop it covering up my GUI?

 

Thanks for any help.

Thank you, but I can't seem to get the Customize dialog box to show up. When I right click on the toolbar and select customize, the only thing that happens is the toolbars are now "ready" to be reorganized by drag and drop.  There is no window where I can select Toolbars, Commands, or Options.  Am I missing something?

How does the txt file get named?  How do you know there will only be one txt file in that folder?

 

You could use a code module to parse through the files and return the path to the txt file.  For example if you were using LabVIEW you could use the List Folders function and then parse for txt files.

 

If you want to keep it native to TestStand I think it would be tricky.  You might be able to do something with the Call Executable step and some DOS commands.

 

If it were me I'd go with the code module option.

 

Ideally you'd know the name of the file and use the FindFile() like you are trying to.  Is there any way to get the name of the txt file?

Hi,

 

When you click on the highlighted buttons or right click on "Menu Bar" or "Tool Bar" you should be able to get to the customize dialog..

Could you please attach a screen shot of what you are seeing when you select Customize option.?

Re: SSH and 64 bit Teststand

No 64-bit experience, but I have been experimenting with this SSH.NET library.

 

I believe there is 64 bit support available. I've seen some references to using this lib with 64-bit PowerShell.

 

I'm using some LabVIEW wrappers for SSH Connect, Command and Close as well as a SCP file Upload and Download using the 32 bit version and it seems to be fairly reliable so far (LV & TS 32-bit).

Sure thing.  Here are two screenshots of my PC. ClickedCustomize.png is directly after clicking the customize button.  CantLocateWinow.png is hovering over the new window that shows up in the taskbar, but cannot be selected.  If I click on the new window from the taskbar, it just shows the TestStand window. Nothing happens wiht TestSand, I can't move it or resize it until I exit the customize mode by pressing enter.

Thanks to both you for your replies.

 

For now, I have simply tried to load the 32-bit dll provided with ExtraPutty but TestStand gives an error stating that 64-bit TestStand cannot load 32 bit dll's.

 

I don't have any experience with .NET, thanks for suggesting this library though. I'll take a look at it.

Hi,

 

This issue sometimes happens when an application is launched in a secondary monitor and later the secondary monitor is disconnected while the application is still running. In this state, if you launch any dialog from the application, the dialog pops up on the secondary monitor which is currently not connected and hence you would not be able to access the main application as well. To resolve this issue, please follow either of the below steps.

1. Right click on the dialog in task bar and click on "Move" and use arrow keys to move the dialog to the primary monitor as shown below.

or

2. Connect to a secondary monitor where you can access the dialog.

 

Note: Please try launching any application in the primary monitor itself so that you do not face the same issue in the future.

TestStand does not currently support Linux. I am not sure what our future plans are for this, but we like to be aware of what customers are interested in, so I will make note of your interest in a Linux version of TestStand. Thank you for the interest.

I am not sure what is the recommended way to solve your problem. When trying few alternatives, I was able to get the required value with following expression (Tested with TestStand 2014):

Locals.referenceToClone.GetPropertyObject("[0]", 0).temperatureTag

 

 

Try and let me know if it works for you.

Use this workaround with caution.

Point is, that Linux has a much wider variety than Windows referring kernel modules and "flavors".

So when considering "Does a company provide applications for Linux", it always has to select which distributions are (officially) supported, which are not.

 

So: What is your Linux distribution?

 

All in all, ActiveX is limited to the Microsoft world, so Dennis is absolutely correct. Porting an application basing on a specific framework component part of a specific OS (type) to something more "open" is a huge effort in development and therefore not cheap. If the market is big enough to justify that effort, i think NI WILL port TestStand.

But i wouldn't expect the market to be *big enough* for this right now.

Thank You! I have come across this type of issue before, but it has been so long since I opened TestStand when I had two monitors connected I didn't even think this could be it.  This one was particulaly persnickety, I ended up having to reconnect another monitor AND set that monitor to be on the correct side, but I got it.  And now I have my shortucts.

Hi Warsame,

 

I only studied TS 1 in order to pass CTD. I would say that the exam is harder than the practice exam. To my knowledge there is no other preparation material other than the manual, practice exam and forum discussions.

 

I found that some of the questions in CTD are not directly covered in the TS 1 manual or in the exercise book. Rather, they are related to concepts covered in TS 1, but the exact behaviour the question asks for is not. You can only answer them by either having strong experience with TestStand or by making a very well educated guess.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best regards,

How is this question related to TestStand?

Your question is too vague to answer. How many points, what sort of testing (static components, digital, boundary scan, etc? Define low cost - less than a million U$? Do you want a full bed of nails or flying probe?

Failed Pre-UUT callback does not fail whole test

I assumed that failing the Pre-UUT callback would automatically fail the whole test. This is not the case. I can force it to terminate using Parameters.ContinueTesting, but this does not generate a report of the failed step/s.

 

So, is a failed callback supposed to fail the whole shooing match and generate a report? If not, just how do I do that?

The txt file  is provided by different users,so I don't know the file name.

I don't need to concern about the content of the txt,just read the txt file.
