Batch UUT information dialog

I need to customize the Batch model using CVI.For example need to add 2 more Batch serial number strings on top, remove status message, last socket row - do not show serail number box etc.Looks like the files I need to modify are batchuutdlg.c and modelpanels.uir.
Found that the source code is under "National Instruments\TestStand 4.1\Components\Models\TestStandModels". What are the best practice to make modification to NI provided code? Also which files will be required to be deployed, if all the modified code then would need to be in the same directory?
Please advise.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

It depends on what version of TestStand you have. Back in the day (I believe Pre 4.0) there used to be a Users and NI folder in each of the TestStand folders. You were supposed to copy it into the Users folder and make modifications in there.
Nowadays (definitely with 4.5, not sure about 4.1 but know it's true for 4.1.1), you would put any changes in the public folder. If you go to: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\<TestStand> you will see a link to something called the TestStand Public folder. That folder should be structured just like the <TestStand> folder. Same directories and everything. When you modify native code you copy it over to the public directories and that way you still have the native original code if you need to go back. Also, this handles situations where you might not be an Admin on a machine- you cannot change any files in Program Files.
If you look in the Search Directories in TestStand you will see that it references the Public folder first and then the native folder. That way it always grabs your modified code first. So if you were to move the SequentialModel.seq to the public folder your path would look like this: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\<TestStand>\Components\Models\TestStandModels\SequentialModel.seq (for XP). But you would still have the SequentialModel.seq (unchanged) over in the native folder. When a sequence file loads and goes to grab the process model it looks in the public folder first and grabs that process model.
In your case it would be any of the files you mentioned. Although I would think you would want to move all the CVI code over so it can all stay with the prj.
When you go to deploy on the first tab there is a checkbox called: Deploy Files in TestStand Public Directory. So all of your customizations will now be included in the deployment. It will put them back into the public folder on the deployment machine and the search directories should be similar so you would be good to go.
Hope this helps,

How to set serialnumbers in the Batch UUT Identification dialog box?

Hello,
I've configured TestStand to use the 'batch process model' and I'm trying to read serialnumber from a file and then update the 'Batch UUT Identification dialog box' 'test socket' fields with these numbers. How?

Hi Thom-ve-as,
The serial numbers for each test socket in the batch model are obtained within the "PreBatch" callback sequence, called from within the Test UUTs execution entry point of the model.
If you override this callback within your client sequence file (or customize the process model file inside of your User directory) so that instead of displaying the dialog that the model uses to gather serial numbers from an operator, you can replace this process with functionality that reads a file and then writes to the properties below to set the serial numbers for each test socket and the batch.
Inside of the PreBatch callback sequence, you access the test socket serial numbers and batch serial number with the following respective properties:
Parameters.Mod
elData.TestSockets[i].UUT.SerialNumber
and
Parameters.ModelData.BatchSerialNumber

How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???

How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???
Where are the instructions on how the information in the Multiple Item Information dialog box equates to ...
1. The way iTunes sorts tracks and albums
2. The reason to select a leading check box
3. Why there are Option selections (Yes /No) and leading check boxes.
4. Why some changes remain in the track info, but do not "take effect" in iTunes (Part of a compilation is an example)
Looked in Help, Support, went to the local Genius bar for an hour, even arrainged a call from apple support ...
Thanks

As Christopher says, it's a compilation. Different tracks are by different artists.
Setting the *Album Artist* field to *Various Artists* and setting *Part of a compilation* to Yes should be all that is required. Depending on your *Group compilations when browsing* setting ( I recommend On ) either should suffice but I suggest doing both.
Based on your commentary, I selected all the "O Brother" tracks, and checked the boxes for everything line that was blank in the Info and the Sort panes. Only exceptions were the album name and the disc number 1 of 1 and the artwork. I blanked and checked anything else.
That's not what I meant. When you select multiple tracks, only those values which +are already common+ to all tracks are displayed. Typically these will include Artist, though not with compilation albums, Album Artist, Album, No. of Tracks, Genre plus various sort fields. A blank value may indicate that different tracks have different values or it may be that the value is blank for all tracks. For the drop down values on the Options tab the value shown may not reflect the information in every tag. If values you expect to be common, such as Album Artist or the Album title are not displayed you can simply type these in and click OK. This will often be enough to group the album.
If you place a checkmark against the blank boxes and apply changes then you will clear those fields so you should only do this if that is the effect you want. Putting a checkmark next to an empty (representing different values) *Track No.* box, for example, will just clear the all the track numbers which is very rarely useful.
Adding then removing extra text is for a specific problem where despite all common values being identical across the tracks of the album iTunes seems to "remember" that it should see two albums. A typical example would be when an album originally listed as *Album CD1* & *Album CD2* is given disc numbers X of Y and then has the Album name changed to Album. I've seen iTunes merge all but one track into the new album, but insist on listing one remaining track separately, despite both albums having the same title. In this case I've found overtyping the album title again has no effect whereas changing it to AlbumX and then back to Album does what I was trying to achieve in the first place.
Don't forget that even properly organsied albums may still break up if you don't chose an album-friendly view. Sorting on the track name or track number columns can be useful in some circumstances but in general I revert to Album by Artist when browsing through my library.

How to Put Serial Number in "UUT Information" Screen

Hi guys!
I'm reading the Serial Number using a Cemera and a 2D code on Units, and I would like to put the serial number in the corresponding box of "UUT Information".
At this time I'm puting the serial number on Report using "RunState.Caller.Locals.UUT.SerialNumber".
I need to keep the "UUT information" screen on front.
Thank you

When I click "Next UUT" (without a serial number on the box), I'm reading the serial number using Camera and LabView signal procesing, I would like to write the readed serial number to UUT information Box...
It's any way to do that without modify and overide the PreUUT?
Thanks

Information Dialog box

Hi SDN Experts,
    How to create information dialog box. in Z report. for diaplaying information insted of using MESSAGE or WRITE statements.
Thanks in advance.

sudharsan

CALL SCREEN
Syntax
CALL SCREEN dynnr
            [STARTING AT col1 lin1
            [ENDING   AT col2 lin2]].
Addition:
... STARTING AT col1 lin1 [ENDING AT col2 lin2]
Effect
This statement calls the dynpro with the dynpro number specified in dynnr. For dynnr, a data object of type n and length 4 is expected. The call starts a new dynpro sequence, which is embedded into the current dynpro sequence. The dynpro with dynpro number dynnr is the initial dynpro of the dynpro sequence. In a dynpro sequence started by a transaction code, you can nest up to 50 other dynpro sequences.
The called dynpro sequence is terminated as soon as one of the involved dynpros branches to a next dynpro with number 0. The program continues after CALL SCREEN.
The statement CALL SCREEN accesses the dynpros of the relevant main program of the current program group and these use the global data and dialog modules of the main program. Except when calling a dynpro in an externally called subroutine, the main program usually is the current program. If the specified dynpro does not exist in the main program of the program group, an untreatable exception occurs.
By default, the screens of all dynpros of the called dynpro sequence are displayed in the current window. Use addition STARTING AT to open a modal dialog window.
Addition
... STARTING AT col1 lin1 [ENDING AT col2 lin2]
Effect
Use addition STARTING AT to open a new popup level and to display all screens of the called dynpro sequence in a modal dialog window. The upper left corner of the dialog window is determined by the values col1 and lin1 for column and line. The values refer to the window with popup level 0. The lower right corner is set automatically or you can use col2 and lin2 to specify it after ENDING AT. For col1, lin1, col2 and lin2, data objects of type i are expected. The values of col1, lin1 should be smaller than those of col2, lin2, because otherwise the behavior is undefined. The maximum popup level is 9.
Notes
The called dynpro should not be a selection screen. To call a selection screen, use the statement CALL SELECTION-SCREEN.
When nesting dynpro sequences and creating popup levels, remember that usually during the program execution, you are already within a (nested) dynpro sequence and that the system itself can also create other dynpro sequences or popup levels (for example, field or input help or messages in dialog windows). For this reason, you should never use the maximum values of 50 dynpro sequences or nine popup levels within a program to capacity.
If during the processing of a modal dialog window a new dynpro sequence is called, it must be started in another popup level. You cannot use the statement CALL SCREEN without addition STARTING AT in this case.
When calling a dynpro in a dialog window, specify the window as a modal dialog window in its properties and set an appropriate GUI status beforehand. We recommend that a dynpro sequence in a modal dialog window consists of one dynpro only.
If there is an open spool request during the execution of the statement CALL SCREEN, a new print list level is created. The first list output in the new print list level creates a new spool request.
Exceptions
Non-Catchable Exceptions
Cause: Dynpro not found.
Runtime Error: DYNPRO_NOT_FOUND

Batch Command Warning Dialog

Hello All
I've set-up an action to resize a folder of photos. Recorded the action, all is good. I go to AUTOMATE > BATCH and go through the set-ups, etc., but when I activate the run, I keep getting this warning dialog:
"Could not complete the Batch command because the disk is not available".
At first I thought it may be looking for the SD card the photos were copied from, but that's not the case as I have imported all the photos and they now reside on the HD. I've tried restarting Photoshop and even restarting the system - both to no avail.
Any idea as to what this dialog is referring to?
Running :
Photoshop CC
27" Late 2013 iMac
3.5 GHz Intel i7
16 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Graphics
OSX 10.9.1
Any help would be MOST appreciated!!
Keith

If all your doing is resizing image to fit within some size you don't even need an action unless you replacing the original files which is not a good idea in any case. For if something goes wrong you could wind up loose everything.
Use menu File Scripts>Image Processor. In the Image Processor Dialog point to the source folder set the output locarion set image file types yoo want to save and the size and option. You can even include actions.
There is also Image Processor Pro a free download which is a more powerful script.

Batch settings: Suppress dialogs

I would like to batch a complete folder in Illustrator with an action.
The only problem I am facing is that Illustrator doesn't have the option to supress dialogs, and therefore I have to click manually for each file to OPEN and SAVE.
In Photoshop I don't have this problem, because there you can select the following options:
- Suppress File Open Options Dialog
- Suppress Color Profile Warnings
My Question is: How can I suppress those dialogs in Illustrator?
If that's not possible: How can I batch a complete folder without having to remove every dialog for each file?

Has anyone experienced this problem?

Unknown resource while adding resource in Task Information dialog

We used PSI to create the project in Project server, but then we open the project plan to assign resources to task with two ways:
- Add Resource in Task Information page
- Assign Resource using the button "Assign Resources" in the ribbon
But it failed with the first way with the following information:
"Unknown Resource", the name you entered is invalid. The name must be an enterprise resource assigned to this project, or the project owner".
But if succeeded if we did with "Assign Resources" button.

There were two oracle home directories in existing node.
/opt/oracle/app/oracleo/product/11.2.0 &
/opt/oracle/app/oracleo/product/11.2.0.4
Tried to add instance from silent mode. Got to know that i have to run the silent mode command from the node where i need to add the instance.
There were 2 different oracle_home path in existing node.but in the new node i had '/opt/oracle/app/oracleo/product/11.2.0 ' .
Hence, have copied the binaries from /opt/oracle/app/oracleo/product/11.2.0.4 (existing node) using addnode.sh command and the GUI worked.

Isn't there a way to display an informational dialog in Acroforms JS?

I need to display a simple message, perhaps with an "Ok" button
All I have found is:
app.alert();
and
app.response();
The first one is too dramatic/scary and the second one too confusing ("What should I type there?")
Isn't there some plain app.info() dialog?
TIA,
-RFH

Please look at the Acrobat JS API Reference. There are optional parameters for the alert item to set the level (error, warning, question, or status) and the type and number of buttons( OK, OK-Cnacel, Yes-No, or Yes-No-cancel).The 'app.response()' method is used to interactively collect user input and pass it to the JavaScirpt for additional processing within the script.
You can also use the 'app.popUpMenu()', 'app.popUpMenuExec()', or the 'Dialog' object and the 'app.exeDialog()'. The dialog object can create very simple or complex dialogs windows that can collect a large amount of data on one screen or be used like wizards to guide a user through a complex form.
All of these items create a pop-up window.

Show an information dialog when data in a grid is loaded

Hi
I am currently working on an ADF 11.1.1.4 application and one of the use case requires to display some data in a grid. The page was designed with data binding and an iterator on a view object. There is no use of some application modules services to get those data.
I need to display a message to my user when the data is the number of data to displayed is supperior to a maximum number (in my case 1000 rows).
I try to find a way to implement it with no success.
Do someone know how to implement that?
By the way, is it possible to call an action on a backing bean when some data are loaded in a grid through the iterator? I have found no listener on the component.
Thanks for your help

In general when you just do an EXECUTE_QUERY inthe WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE-trigger, forms fetches as many records as defined in the blocks property "Number of records fetched". If that property is 0, forms fetches as many records as defined in the block's property " Number of records displayed". so you should check these properties.
to fetch the next amount of records, but a NEXT_SET in your button's code.

Is it possible to call a VI that is inside a LabVIEW executable from a TestStand sequence?

I have created a custom TestStand operator interface and have modified the default sequential process model to display a UUT information dialog that prompts for more information than just the UUT serial number. This UUT information dialog is a LabVIEW VI. To distribute the operator interface, I build it into an executable. As part of the build process, I make a copy of the UUT information dialog VI (which is part of my operator interface project) and place it in the same folder as the executable. I have then configured the sequential process model to call the dialog VI from this location. It would be really nice if I could embed the UUT information dialog VI inside the operator interface executable so that I could distribute just an executable instead of an executable and separate VIs. Is this possible? In other words, is it possible to call a VI that is inside a LabVIEW executable from a TestStand sequence just like a standard LabVIEW VI call?

Ryan,
The dialog that you've created isn't being directly called by the OI at all and shouldn't need to be included in the same directory as the OI for distribution. Since you are modifying the PreUUT of the default process model, you will give the path to the VI in that step, create a deployment and then manually copy the VI to the directory referenced in the step. The VI is considered a support file for the process model and is not related to the OI at all.

Stopping TestStand Sequence With PreUUT Loop Disabled

Hi All,
I have edited my sequence so I do not use the default UUT Information dialog to enter serial number information etc. I handle all of that on my own to get a specific file name and perform other tasks within my sequence. I have the PreUUT callback added to my sequence so I do not get the dialog at the beginning my tests. It is all working great except for one thing, ending the sequence. To make a long story short I have a stop button as one of my fixture controls. I want it to act the same as when the Stop button is pressed on the default UUT Information dialog. I have tried terminating the execution with a Call Method and it works except then the report winds up saying "Terminated" which I do not want. Is there any way to stop a sequence gracefully as with the PreUUT callback disabled?
Thanks in advance for any insight into this.
Troy

Thank you both for your comments. I am actually using both suggestions at this point and it is working. I got around it but the only frustrating part was some things I was trying to do in the PreUUT callback did not work. It did not like any variables passed in or out of that sequence that were not already there. I am sure there is a solution for that but I had to get some units tested so I got it working another way using functional globals in Labview to get the values passed between the sequences. Thanks again for your help.

How to add parameters to xml report header

All,
I've added two new parameters to my UUT information dialog (I made my own UUT information dialog) and I'd like to pass them to the header of my xml report. The style sheet I've chosen to use is "report.xsl" and I've already added the two rows to my header; so what I'd like to do is pass these 2 parameters from the PreUUT callback to my report.
First question: Is this possible?
Seconds question: I've struggled finding "reading material" on this topic and am looking for some helpful hints on where to start. To me this doesnt seem like something that should be that difficult, but maybe I'm mistaken?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
John 3:16

Hi Bill,
In addition to making changes to the style sheet, we must also include the parameters you want to dispaly in the XML file using the ModifyReportHeader Callback. Please refer to this KnowledgeBase article for more information.
