I have one Action(it is labview module) step in my sequence file. So whenever I select action step, in steps setting pane under module tab, when i choose the correct project path I'm unable to choose the (vi path) showing errors for dependencies/file not found.
I have labview runtime installed in my system.
kindly,help me with the issue.
I have completed development and testing for a couple TestStand sequences I would like to deploy. I want to deploy the TestStand sequences with the necessary installers so I can deploy the entire system on a different test computer to run the deployed sequences with runtime applications. I have completed the Developing Test Programs Using TestStand training provided by National Insturments. This is my first time trying to deploy a sequence to a TestStation with the installers to a different test station so I'm still naive to some aspects of TestStand.
I’m using the TestStand Deployment Utility to deploy my sequences with runtime installers for NI-DAQ, NI-VISA, Labview 2016, TestStand 2016 and NI-Sync. My test system consists of an NI –USB 6343 to get some current and voltage measurements, LabView 2016 to send and read information over serial ports and TestStand 2016 to integrate and run all the LabView VIs I have created. In the installer options pane under Drivers and Components of the TestStand Deployment Utility I have loaded the NI Device Drivers 1 and 2 discs and the NI TestStand 2016 Development System disc to load the runtime applications.
When I build the deployment with the installers it fails, but no errors or warning are reported and there are no files in the installer folder to run the setup.exe, which will install the test system to the test station. I have attached the files from the TestStand Deployment Utility log. Can somebody help me understand why the deployment build is failing and not including any of the installer files? I have searched in other online forums for TestStand about deployment, but none seem to provide an answer for my problem. All replies are much appreciated.

Is there a configuration file somewhere I can edit so RG will "see" TestStand?

The ModelOptions callback is a great way for example to set the number of sockets in the batch model dynamically.
The issue is that this is set once and for all when the sequence is loaded.
Is there a way to set the number of batch sockets between batches?
I would like for our operators to be able to test 5 units one batch, then 4 the next, ...
Hi,
I have created some steps with properties, variables in my subSequence, using the Tools>import/export properties, I exported the sequence and its properties to a.txt file. The txt files contains the corresponding sequence, step type, and other property related values. I plan to use this txt file as a Template for my future sequences by just importing the file back to a new Sequence.
After importing the txt file, to the new sequence only the variables were imported, and the new sequence step field was empty and no steps were imported.
I also tried writing a code module in labview that adds a new sequence to an existing sequence file using invoke and property nodes but couldn't find the option of loading existing steps.
Does anyone know how I can successfully export and import steps to testStand? or an alternative solution without having to manually having to copy and renaming subsequences.
Thanks
David
Need to pass variable from Teststand to Scapy python script and build the packet in one step. http: Ether()/IP(dst=server)/TCP(dport=80)/"GET /index.html HTTP/1.0"
#!/usr/bin/env python import sys
Ether()/IP(dst=argv[0])/TCP(dport=argv[1])/argv[2]"
using sys.argv[n], is correct?
Using TestStand 12; how do I set the report file path via a fileglobal variable within the sequence? I can set a static filepath by using the Report Options: 'Specify Report File By Expression' that seems to work, but what do I need to put in there for a variable filepath?
My guess is to use the ReportOptions Callback somehow but am unsure how; anyone managed to do this?
I would like to pass NI Vision Image data from a LabVIEW VI/DLL to TestStand property (for example FileGlobal) of type LabVIEWIOControl. I understand that if I have a NI Vision Image data on the connector pane of the VI I can directly pass it to the TS property of type LabVIEWIOControl. But my requirement is slightly different. I am creating custom StepType in which there is edit UI where the user can choose the desire variable for the image data. That UI object is a TS Expression edit control of type LabVIEWIOControl. I would like to set the value of the variable programatically similar to "TestStand - Set Property Value.vi". Is there way to implement this? I tried using Invoke Node SetValVariant but to no success. I would appreciate if anyone could help me on this.
My goal is to skip a specific module that is used in multiple sequences. I am looking for a method that easily finds a module in each of my tests in Main.
Dear TestStand community,
recently I've faced the following problem. I install TestStand 2016 (32 and 64 bits, both) on Windows 7, SP1. Installation goes smooth, but after restart of PC, I get the message that "... mfc140.dll is missing".
When I start TestStand Sequence Editor, then I recevie message "TestStand 2016 (16.0.0.185) must be active version of TestStand to use the Sequence Editor". When I start TS Version Selector, I get message that mfc140.dll is missing.
Reinstall does not help. The situation is similar for 32 and 64 bits versions.
Also, I installed separately (from distribution folder) TS Tool (like repair of the installation). It didn't help.
Could anyone, please, help me with this issue and suggest, what can cause it?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Sincerely, kosist90
I want to compare two time values, one is to get the time right when teststand begins to run, and the other from a VI. I was wondering how to get real time from teststand

Hi
this thread is almost dealing with my task.
https://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/How-to-specify-environment-when-using-custom-OI/m-p/3617452
BTW my task is quite different. I am NOT using the ApplicationManager. So commandline will not work at all.
I am initializing the engine in old school:
HRESULT res = m_engine.CreateInstance("TestStand.Engine");
is there any change to work with environments?
