Python call teststand engine

I use python and teststand engine to customize solution.But I have some questions about it.
1,code as below:
tsEngine = win32com.client.Dispatch("TestStand.Engine.1")
print "TestStand %s.%s ready" % (tsEngine.MajorVersion, tsEngine.MinorVersion)
tsEngine.UIMessagePollingEnabled = True
sequencePath = os.path.join(cwd, 'MySequence.seq')
seqFile = tsEngine.GetSequenceFileEx(sequencePath)
execution = tsEngine.NewExecution(seqFile, "MainSequence", seqFile, False, 0)
execution.WaitForEndEx(60000)
execution = None
released = tsEngine.ReleaseSequenceFileEx(seqFile, 0x4)
seqFile = None
#coreleased = tsEngine.ReleaseSequenceFileEx()
tsEngine.ShutDown(True)
tsEngine = None ## Execution freezes here
2,I need to use UImessage to get pass/fail result of "MySequence.seq".So the first step,I set "tsEngine.UIMessagePollingEnabled = True".But python print these error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\TS_solution\CallTestStand.py", line 39, in

Calling 64-bit TestStand Engine from 32-bit LabVIEW

I am creating my own TestStand user interface in 32-bit LabVIEW but I want to use the 64-bit TestStand Engine. I can't find a way to specify this. The read-only API property "Engine.Is64Bit" is coming back false when I run from my UI, but when I run from the Sequence editor, it comes back true. How is this determined and set at startup???

I dont think you can build a 64 bit TestStand interface using a 32 bit Labview.
FYI the the 32 bit User interface code is stored at :
C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2014 (32-bit)\UserInterfaces\Full-Featured\LabVIEW
The 64 bit user interface code is stored at :
C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2014 (64-bit)\UserInterfaces\Full-Featured\LabVIEW
You have build a 32 bit TestStand user interface and the is64bit is properly showing as false.
Try building the same project using 64 bit Labview (which should automatically pickup 64 bit TestStand components)
When you say that you run from seqeunce editor - i think you mean 64 bit sequence editor.
Ofcourse once you build your 64 bit user interface you can call a 32 bit vi (only in adapter mode set to dev and not run time).
Hope this helps.

How can I set the TestStand Engine tracing options to be on or off through automatically within my sequence file?

Hello,
I am looking for a way, where I do not have to set the Station Options manually. I want to make sure that whenever someone is running my sequence, the sequence should make sure that the "Tracing Enabled" options gets disabled somehow. I know the tracing option is actually a setting of the TestStand engine, but I want to implement it within my sequence.
Please let me know if this is doable. If yes, what will be the best approach?
Thanks and Regards,
Niraj
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Depends on why you want to disable tracing. One of these might work for you:
1) Lock the file as not viewable.
2) Set RunState.Tracing to false as the first step in your sequence (still get the first trace message for the sequence though)
3) On sequence calls to the sequence set the sequence call trace setting to disabled. (not enforced though).
Hope this helps,
-Doug

How could I pass data from OI (CVI) to TestStand Engine

I am modifying the teststand OI (CVI) that the User Interface include the serial number entry. I use UIMessage to notify OI to get user input, however I could not find a way to pass the serial number (pass as string) to TestStand Engine. please help.
thanks.

Hello,
For your specific purposes, the best approach would be to modify the PreUUT callback sequence inside of the model, that has the code to display the serial number dialog. You could add your custom code inside of this callback to display your custom dialog, and then write the value back to Parameters.UUT.SerialNumber. Once you have populated this variable, you can then call PostUIMessageEx to post the value of the serial number dialog to the OI. Now you have the value inside of the model, as well as inside of the OI. Let me know if this helps.

C++ Builder and Teststand Engine

After several questions and answers in your forum I finally imported successfully the TestStand Engine ActiveX in my loved Borland C++ Builder, but I couldn�t use the version 6, I used an older version (BCB4). It works fine.
Here you can find the questions I posted about some problems I had with BCB6
http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=5065000000080000000EA20000&UCATEGORY_0=_8_&UCATEGORY_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_0=borland+teststand&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_S=0)
To start developing an O.I. in BCB4 I'm using the Dephi Operator interface example code as a guide line and a simple example code for CVI to understand witch are the basic steps to run a sequence.
Everything seems ok, for example I can easily access the Login/Logout callback, or display TS dialog boxes (Station Options...ecc.), or iterate through sequence steps to extract execution entry points.
Next target is run a simple sequence, but something fails when I call the NewExecution method.
The prototype in the TS_OCX.cpp file should be:
ExecutionPtr __fastcall TEngine::NewExecution(Ts_tlb:equenceFile* sequenceFileParam/*[in]*/,
BSTR sequenceName/*[in]*/,
Ts_tlb:equenceFile* processModelParam/*[in]*/,
VARIANT_BOOL breakAtFirstStep/*[in]*/,
long executionTypeMaskParam/*[in]*/,
VARIANT sequenceArgsParam/*[in,opt]*/,
VARIANT editArgsParam/*[in,opt]*/,
VARIANT InteractiveArgsParam/*[in,opt]*/)
First of all, I cannot use the short version of NewExecution method, even if in the API user guide and in the func.prototype "sequenceArgsParam", "editArgsParam" and "InteractiveArgsParam" are marked as optional, that�s because the compiler cannot find the right prototype.
In this case "sequenceArgsParam", "editArgsParam" and "InteractiveArgsParam" are all Variant type, so I'm trying to pass an empty parameter to them, that's just to use all parameters in the function call.
I tried all solutions I know, but I think that TNoParam() is the simplest I can use. TNoParam() class returns a Variant type witch sets vt member = VT_ERROR, just like in CVI example (CA_DEFAULT_VAL).
No way out.
I get a run-time error message when I call The NewExecution method (Error:-17500) = TS_Err_OperationFailed in API user guide.
Solving this problem is really important for me, because it�s the last thing (I hope..) I need to do to complete a simple Borland C++ Builder TestStand operator interface example.
Thanks and best regards.

Hello Axeel -
Just to make sure this question is resolved, did you see the answer that Scott posted over on your other thread? This seems to cover everything. If you're not using TestStand 3.0 yet you may want to download an evaluation copy from ni.com. Please let us know if you have further problems.

Test Stand: TestStand Engine Process

I'm looking into an application (written by someone else of course) which calls a "Test Stand Engine" to execute a test.
First thing is what is this "Test Stand Engine" ?
I have been using Test Stand GUI (Test Stand Sequence Editor) to execute such test cases in the past so I never knew what do they mean by Test Stand Engine.
The problem i'm looking into is simple.
They say that Test Stand Engine is being executed as part of a thread and my task is to make it execute in a process.
But I Can't find the actual call to test stand engine itself.
I'm on Windows box and all I can see in Task Manager => Process is TSAUTO~1.EXE which is same whether I run GUI or my application with Test Stand Engine.
What should I look for in my application code to find the "Test Stand Engine"?
Any Help?
Nirvana

Hi,
just to clarify that - there's two approaches to making an operator interface with TestStand.
1) Use the TestStand UI controls and manager controls or 2) Go directly to the TestStand Engine.
Option 1 actually overwraps the calls to the TestStand Engine anyway to make it easier to implement an operator interface. That's not to say that going directly to the TestStand Engine ActiveX automation server is difficult, but you have to do certain things, like shutting down in a sepcific way.
Your best other resource is the TestStand help (rather than the bookshelf pdf's) and have a look at the topic about "Writing an application with the teststand engine"
As Dennis says - you might get more help on the TestStand forums rather than the LabVIEW ones though.
Thanks

Pre-load TestStand Engine

Hi,
I have a CVI application (loaded on Startup of a PC) which calls my modified CVI TestStand Test Executive. When I execute the Test Executive there is a delay while the TestStand engine is loaded.
I would rather have the delay up front so, is there anyway I can pre-load the TestStand engine in my calling CVI application to remove this delay?
Thanks
James.
(CVI 8.0.1, TestStand 3.5)

The best way to do this may be to start up the test executive application immediately in a hidden mode, and then send a command to show it when it is needed.

TestStand-Engine

TestStand engine has an ActiveX/COM Interface to be used in high level programming tools but
is there any possibility to use these functions by tools only supporting simple DLL-Calls?
Thanks for your help!

Hello Chris,
Sorry , my question wasn't exactly enough.
I know that TestStand itself is able to call DLL-Functions using the integrated DLL Flexible Prototype Adapter.
What i want to know is, how i could realize to use the
methods of the TestStand Engine in programming tools not supporting to create ActiveX references, but these
tools are able to use simple DLL-Functions like "MessageboxA" of WINAPI.
The methods i want to use refer to an execution of
a single sequence: GetSequenceFile, NewExecution, WaitForEnd, ReleaseFile and UnloadAllModules.
The only idea is to write a Wrapper-DLL containing functions for each of the listed methods in any high
level programming language, but i don't know if this could work.
Have you any ideas to solve my p
roblem?

Call Teststand with JAVA

Hello,
I'm new in this forum.
I would know if it's possible to open TestStand from JAVA.
If yes, how ?
Thanks

TestStand is built on ActiveX. So if you can call activex from Java then you can call TestStand.
My guess is that you need some sort of COM bridge for Java that will allow it to call ActiveX objects. Then you would create a TS engine and then use that engine handle to manipulate TestStand.
Here is a document on the object model for TestStand:

Executer un Script python avec Teststand pour agir sur un banc de Test

Bonjour à tous,
J'aimerais savoir comment peut-on exécuter un script python avec Teststand sans utiliser le "Call Executable".
Je m'explique: j'aimerais lancer deux script python sur Teststand. Le premier serait un script qui permettrait d'initialiser un modèle sur un banc de test ainsi que l'objet virtuel dans lequel je veux travailler. Dans le deuxième script, j'agirai sur l'objet virtuel. Je voudrais donc lire une variable du modèle sur le deuxième script à l'aide de l'objet virtuel et agir dessus après à l'aide de Teststand.
Lorsque j'utilise le "Call Executable", le deuxième script qui s'exécute ne reconnait pas l'initialisation du modèle du premier script.
Je pensais donc à utiliser Labpython avec labview puis Teststand, est-ce-que cela serait possible?
J'ai en ma possesion :
Labview 2009
Teststand 4.2.1
Python 2.5

Bonjour coconuts,
Merci d'avoir posté votre question sur le forum de National Instruments.
Après quelque recherche j'ai trouvé un tutoriel sur Calling Scripting Languages from NI TestStand.
Vous l'avez peut être déja consulté mais je me permet de vous le renvoyer car il est assez interressant.
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/8847?metc=nsi9321
Sinon je pense qu'il faudrait peut être créer une variable globale ou partagé pour dialoguer entre les deux Scripts. Essayez de faire plusieurs étapes dans votre manupulation. Utilisez le premier Scripts, enregistrez les données que vous souhaitez dans une variable. Vous réutiliserez celle-ci dans le deuxième script. Mais assurez-vous bien que le premier script à stocké votre objet.

Silent Install of the TestStand Engine 2.0.1

I am trying to do an unattended install of the TestStand Engine 2.0.1. I am using the "-noprompt" switch which makes the install silent except at the very end I get a dialogue box that say "You must reboot this computer...". I am also using InstallShield Professional 6.0 from which I launch then NI TestStand 2.0.2 engine.
Does anyone have a solution to do a completely silent install?
Thanks...Eric

Eric,
In general, we don't support creating silent installers because InstallShield isn't our development product. However, I have some information that may be of help. A normal (non-silent) installation receives the necessary input from the user in the form of responses to dialog boxes. As you know, a silent installation does not prompt the user for input. A silent installation must get its user input from a different source. That source is the InstallShield Silent Response File (.iss file). A response file contains information similar to that which an end user would enter as responses to dialog boxes when running a normal setup. InstallShield Silent reads the necessary input from the response file at run time.
The format of response files resembles that of
an .ini file, but response files have .iss extensions. A response file is a plain text file consisting of sections containing data entries. There are two ways in which you can create an InstallShield Silent Response File: you can run the setup and have InstallShield record and create the response file for you, or you can write the response file from scratch. It should be possible for you to create a response file that would contain a newline to confirm the reboot prompt. Your InstallShield documentation should provide more information regarding how you should create the response file.
If you have any more questions, let us know.

When Teststand is expired, the java process communicating with Teststand engine is killed.

We are using an evaluation version of Teststand for development. We are using Teststand API in C code to communicate with the Teststand engine and in turn the java process communicates with the C code. But if the Teststand is expired, the java process is killed. Please suggest if there is a solution to stop the killing of java process when the teststand is expired.

Hi geddam,
The fact that the entire application is ending is expected as it is trying to access the TestStand API. Since your evaluation period is over you no longer have an active license and cannot access TestStand. We allow an evaluation period so that someone new to TestStand can evaluate it to determine if they will benefit from the software. However, once you have decided to develop using TestStand, you need to obtain a development license for TestStand. We have several different licenses for TestStand and a specific license to be used for development. The evaluation period should not be used as a time for development but a time to evaluate the software. So, in order for your application to work again, you will need to obtain a license for TestStand software.

The TestStand Engine cannot be initialized. Path not found.

Hi, up until now i installed and removed TestStand 3.5 3 times in a row, just to always get this message (see subject) when i try to start the Sequence Editor. I even uninstalled all NI-Software i had on this laptop to reinstall the whole package... Nothing worked. Now i wonder, is there anything i am doing wrong ? What can i do to get TestStand running ?
Well, on that message when i hit OK, another message
The sequence editor cannot start up. Unable to create the TestStand Engine.
Hitting OK on that message again just terminates the sequence editor leaving me with a blank screen.
Any ideas whats wrong ?
best regards and thanks in advance,
Ingo
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ingo -
Sorry for your frustration. Your idea to uninstall and reinstall should typically work. The second message is just a result of the first error, so we need to figure out what path is not found, and it is unclear why this is occurring. I tried to force my copy of TestStand 3.5 to fail in a similiar way by messing around with the installation and I could not find a way to cause the "Path not found" error. I got many other more detailed errors, but I have been unable to duplicate your message.
Some questions:
1) What operating system are you using?
2) Are you installing to the default location under Program Files? Are you using a network path in any way?
3) Do you have write authority to the the installation locations on you system?
4) Are you logged in as an administrator when installing, restarting, and launching the sequence editor.
5) Have you manually messed with any of the registry settings under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\TestStand\3.5, where something is incorrect?
6) Have you added any User components under the TestStand directory that might somehow load and cause an issue?
If you currently have an installation on the system, you could quickly try to clear out the Cfg directory under TestStand, so that it generates new copies of these files.
