How can I create a Teststand (1.0.3 or 2.0) distribution without having all of the VIs (6.0.2 or 6.1) in the same directory?

How would I create a Teststand distribution of LabVIEW VIs and maintain the test VI directory structure that I want?
I know that I have to use the application builder to build the custom operator interface, configure it as an ActiveX server, and launch the Teststand engine installation.
The only problem that I have is using the VI packager which puts all of the test code and sequences in a single directory.
This gets quite messy. There are just over 1000 files in the neatly orgainzed directory structure that I have now. (this includes support files, dll's and such)
I have read brief appnotes on configuring the ini file(s) to use
the vi search path that I want, but have not been able to get this to work. Maybe I'm not updating the correct ini? or have to include each subdirectory?
I have currently upgraded from LabVIEW 6.0.2 to 6.1
I am currently using Teststand 1.0.3
I have not upgraded to Teststand 2.0 yet because I have not decided if I want to build at this revision or go through the extra work to mass compile Teststand at LabVIEW 6.1, install the LabVIEW 6i VI Packager Fix, and update the new Teststand LV operator interface with my changes.
At present, I'm not getting the results I want and am quickly running out of time. I have to deliver the project by the 14th of July 2002.
Sorry for the long question and thanks for you help.

Hi,
I dont think the problem is really related to using the VI Packager but more to how the OI interface applications relates to labVIEW File constants.
If you are using the LabVIEW as the ActiveX Server then there should be no problems. But if you are using the Runtime LabVIEW server such as 'TestStandLVRTS' then the file constant would return different paths.
eg for the Default Path you would get 'C:\TestStand\Components\User\RuntimeServers\LabVIEW' instead of 'c:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW'.
Attacted is an example to show how to change these paths when using your runtime server. Unzip this into your teststand examples folder
Put the INI file in the location of the \user\runtimeservers\labview folder.
Change the labview adapter t
o use TestStandLVRTS.exe. You can run the example sequence from either the OI or seqeditor.
I hope this helps

  • How can I move an event in my calendar to my "completed" calendar without changing all the events in the series?

    How can I move an event in my calendar to my "completed" calendar without changing all the events in the series?
    As Apple has yet to upgrade iCalendar so I can check off my events as I complete them (no, I do not want to use a task list/reminder list), I want to be able to move my events to my "completed" events calendar as I complete them. The issue is that most of my events are repeating events, and it changes the entire series. How do I change only the event I clicked on using my iPhone?
    Thanks

    If you change anything in a repeating calendar entry it will give you the option of disconnecting it from the series. So may any random change, choose to not change the series.

    How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !

    If your "older" MBA has a Thunderbolt port then it isn't that old. See Target Disk Mode about how it's used. Note that without a monitor you won't be able to tell from the screen when it has fully started, and if it succeeded in starting in TDM. If it did, then the hard drive should appear on the Desktop of your new computer. You can then access it to transfer your files. You can even use Migration Assistant or any backup utility to transfer data. Just don't try to transfer system files.

    How can transfer documents created/modified in Pages and Numbers to Dropbox other than emailing them?

    If you are working within your own network, there are apps that allow this. One that seems to work well for me is called Fingerprint - it allows you to access non-AirPrint printers on your network, save to Dropbox, open a document directly on your Mac and save to iPhoto or Evernote:

  • How can I import contacts from Snow Leopard iMac to my Mavericks MBP without replacing all of the contacts.

    *** Updated - FIgured this out right after I posted... I simply selected all contacts on the iMac, exported as a .vcf then dragged that into the MBP contacts ***
    Problem solved...
    *Original Question*
    I have a MacBook Pro (MBP) running Mavericks... syncs contacts via iCloud with my iOS devices.  My iMac is an original intel model from 2006 which can only run Snow Leopard.  I have many contacts on that iMac that I would like to copy into the contacts on my MBP. 
    I used the 'Address Book Archive' feature on my iMac - transferred that to a flash drive then tried to import into the MBP contacts at which point it said it would replace the contents on my MBP... something I do NOT want to do.
    Does anyone have a way of bringing all of my iMac contacts in to the MBP without replacing?
    I appreciate any help...  Thank you !

  • How can I export a comp or pre-comp to another AE project without having to rebuild or make a movie?

    Can I export an AE comp or pre-comp to another AE project without having to rebuild or make a movie? In regard to tweaks or timing changes based on that projects' needs.

    First, save the project in a different name.  Delete out the comps & precomps you neither want nor need.  Run AE's reduce project command to remove any unused footage, then save it again.  Now you have a simplified project, which you can then import into any AE project you want.
    If you like things nice & tidy, don't forget to use the replace layer (Alt-drag, Opt-drag) trick on any duplicated footage, using the footage from the project into which you import the simplified project.  The alternative: just leave all the footage alone, and know you can't delete it.

  • How can I disable addons from running on certain tabs, windows, or websites, without having to create a whole new profile?

    Not every potentially site-breaking addon has a site whitelist or enable/disable list. While some addons exsit for "sandboxing" tabs - it only sandboxes the pages loaded on that tab, not what the browser/addons do to them. I've already searched for solutions, and frankly, I'm surprised that this question hasn't been asked before until now: Why can't multiple "profiles" be run side-by-side, on a per-tab and/or specific-website(s) basis, in the same browser window?

    Basically any addon that affects ssl settings. Not all of the extra "hardening" to ssl that addon does results in a certificate error or warning when I try to load a page. Some of them cause redirect errors or even just a blank screen with nothing loaded at all. Even if I "whitelist" a page in an addon's settings, that page could still not load because the addon has changed the browser's settings itself...

  • How can I add new music to my iPhone from a new device without losing all the existing music?

    Hello! My personal laptob that I usually use to sync my iPhone to is broke at the moment so, I've been syncing to my work computer. I have some music, not downloaded from iTunes, on the new computer that I'd like to add to my iPhone but I can't see how without iTunes deleting all my existing playlists and music from my iPhone. I can click the menu arrow on a song and then select "Add to" from the pop-up menu, then choose from "Devices" - Nathan Swain's iPhone - and it lets me, but nothing ever get's added to my iPhone. I have also authorized this computer on my iTunes account. I'm stumped!

    By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time. Each time you switch computers, ALL iTunes content is first erased from your phone, to be replaced with the content from the new computer.
    No way around this fact, other than transferring your content to the computer you normally sync with.

  • HOW CAN I GET ITUNES TO ACCEPT MY IPOD WITH MAC GENERATED MUSIC WITHOUT HAVING TO RESTORE IT AND LOOSING ALL MEDIA??

    Hey JIM2209,
    Thanks for the question. You can transfer certain types of media from your iPod to a new iTunes library. These include music, movies and TV shows that were purchased from the iTunes Store. If you have music imported from a CD or other source, iTunes can’t transfer this media back to a computer:
    iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209
    Music imported from a CD or other source
    - iTunes can't transfer this media back to your computer.
    - Back up your iTunes library or use iTunes Match.
    Thanks,

  • If I set Firefox to refrain from loading images automatically, how can I view a single image, or a single page's images, without having to enter the site in the Exceptions list, only to go back and remove it when I'm done?

    I was hoping for a hotkey option or button on the toolbar to load images for a single page for a single session at a time. Turning off images really saves bandwidth and speeds load time on websites, but sometimes I'd like to view the images on a page, but only for this session. Is that possible, or do I have to go to the Exceptions page and allow a specific domain or page to load images and then go back and remove that domain or page when I'm done?

  • How can I transfer some books and music from one ipad to another without having to sync and erase the lot?

    I am trying to transfer some music and books from my ipad to my mothers ipad.   I am using a laptop that I have had to install itunes onto.  When I sselect the music I want to put onto my mothers ipad I get the message 'are you sure want to sync this ipad to this computer as it will erase all date on the ipad and replace it with this'...well something to that effect anyway.
    When I plug my ipad into it it also states that syncing will erase all data and replace it with what is on itunes as my ipad is linked to another computer (im in Hobart and my usual computer is in brisbane)
    Is there a simple way for me to add music and books on a usb stick to mothers ipad without having to lose everything taht she currently has on there?
    Any advice is greatly appreciated
    Cheers

    Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
    As to your issues with compilations albums select all the tracks, set the Album Artist to Various Artists and on the options tab set Part of a compilation to Yes. See Grouping tracks into albums for details.
