Document Word for Results in Test Stand

Hi,
I am using TestStand 3.0 and LabView 7.0 . I need to put the result of measurements in a Word Document.
I am not able to find the Result Collection (where TestStand stores the results of steps).
Thank you very much.

Hi
There is a example on line called
"Output the Results of an ATE Teststand to Microsoft Word for Office 97" which generates a word report.
I have attached the link below.
I hope this helps.

Added a check to Text to sequence file result in Test Stand hang up.

I added the check in text to sequence file translator.vi (the file is attached)
With this addition I generated the dll.
Test Stand load the sequence file without any problem for the first time.
If I add a space to the sequence file and save the file; test stand tries to load the new sequence file saying file has changed do you want to load the new sequence...
But fails to load the sequence (Test Stand hangs up)
The only way to overcome is kill the TestStand thru task manager.
Which displays
"You chose to end the nonresponsive program, SeqEdit.exe"
Attached the displayed error (error.doc)

Hi Vidula,
Is it only when you add a space to the file name that you see this behavior? If, for instance, you add a '1' to the beginging of the file name does the same thing happen?

Using PXI 2567 in switch exec for use in test stand

I am using a pxi 2567 card and have used a simulated ivi driver to use it in switch executive. To operate the switches from test stand I need to create routes in switch executive. Do I need simulated relays for switch exec to set endpoints, if so where can i get a simulated relay; if not please advise.

You do not need simulated relays. The channel names on the 2567 will be your "virtual" relays. Each of the 2567's 64 channels have names like COMn and CHn, where n is an index from 0 to 63.
You may create routes in NI Switch Executive (and invoke those routes in TestStand). If you do not want to create each named route, you can also use an expression to indicate what you want to have routed.
For example, support your 2567 is named "Dev1" and you wanted to connect relay 0. The syntax for the connect route specification in TestStand would look like:
"[Dev1/com0->Dev1/ch0]"

I want to write a program in LabView then pass the test results to teststand to check if it pass or fail without displaying the test stand program,

I want to write a program in LabView and create an execute but I want to be able to pass test results to test stand to find it the unit pass ar fail the test then save the data to a database. How would i go about it.

What's confusing is your statement that you want to do this "without display the test stand program". You can minimize the TestStand UI to the task bar but if you don't want TestStand to be running, how can TestStand evaluate the result. Explain a little more please.
In the message body of your post, you just say you want to create a LabVIEW exe and pass the results to TestStand. What I would recomend is that instead of an exe, you create a dll and use TestStand's DLL adapter to call it and return the results. TestStand will evaluate it and do the logging.

After installing Snow Leopard, Word for Mac X document prints only top 1/3. Excel, PDF is fine...only word is a problem.

Installed Snow Leopard and later in week went to print out a full page word document (Word for Mac X) and it only printed top 1/3 of page. Checked with PDF and Excel documents and all printed out OK. TextEdit is fine in printing as well. Then created a new document with a sentence on top of page and a sentence on bottom - printed fine.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Since your problem is only w/a Microsoft product, you should contact Microsoft for Mac Support and/or post in their forums.

Bizarre Thing Word for Mac 2011 Restore Standard Fonts

I don't know where to post this. I can't find a section for discussing Word for Mac 2011 even though a bazillion people probably use it. So I'm hoping someone who does will read this and give me some insight.
I've been having a terrible time opening Word. The W just bounces around on the dock a few times and then settles down and it never opens. When I try to open a specific document through Finder, it's completely non-responsive. So I read on this forum that the issue could be checking your Font Book and possibly restoring standard fonts. So I thought I had nothing to lose (HAH!) and I went to Font Book and did the Font Validation test. I didn't have any serious errors but I thought what the heck and I clicked the box that said Restore Standard Fonts. Then I tried to open Word and it opened flawlessly. Yippee, or so I thought.
Two days later I tried to open a Word document that is 433 pages long. Well guess what, now it's only 376 pages. I was completely freaking out. What could have happened? I scrolled through it and each page is there sequentially. I don't understand how this could have occurred. Could "Restore Standard Fonts" have done something to the spacing? Could it have removed certain letters? I can't see anything missing, but how could I have lost 57 pages?
Well luckily I had an old hardcopy of the document and was able to see that prior to this Restore Standard Font action, there were 24 double-spaced lines to a page and now there are 28. So I think that's the explanation, although I can't be completely sure, unless I review the entire document word for word.
So can someone please explain why this happened? Why does Restore Standard Fonts add lines to a page? Are the letters smaller? Is my document okay? Or should I not have done what I did.

Passing arrays with Test Stand to DIO 96

Does anyone know the easiest way of sending data arrays from Test Stand to a DIO 96 using a LabView dll? I have a Test Stand sequence where I will need to set bits and read bits from a DIO 96 and am going to make a LabView dll. I guess I will need to pass either arrays to and from each port or numeric data to and from each port to a dll and also figure out how the status of the bits in the DIO 96 will be remembered.
What is the best strategy for dealing with Test Stand and a DIO 96?
Has anyone any ideas or example code?

Hi Steve,
either approach is perfectly valid, and as you say, the activeX approach does remove some of the flexability of where you get the data from, however, what you've really described is two separate things, rather than two separate styles of approach.
ActiveX or direct passing are simply the means of getting data from and to your TestStand data space.
Step types are a convenient way of wrapping up particular layouts and functionalilty into a very easily re-usable TestStand development item. You would still need some sort of code module to put with a step type, so you're not necessarily limiting your developed code to the Teststand environment.
Making links through ActiveX allows you to make a solid definition on configuration type items, and allow for edit substeps. For example, the NumericLimitTest step type has step.limits.high and step.limits.low. Rather than pass those to the edit substep as a dll call (which is perfectly valid), passing the sequence context (which also allows you to run the termination monitor etc) allows for the fixed references to the fixed data layout of the step. Self containment like this works when the data sources are fixed as you get with a step type to use the edit substep, or the pre/post substeps.
Working on a dll call allows more re-use because then you concentrate on the data, rather than where it's come from, however, for large amounts of different sources, the dll prototype can become very complex and difficult to document. You end up having to pass lots of parameters and some of them you might not use.
The question you're ultimately trying to answer is "what does it do to my architecture?"
The holy grail of TestStand architectures is any step type can be used in any sequence in any sequence file with any process model under any operator interface. Now this isn't always practical, but the closer you get to it, the more flexibility your system as a whole contains, and the easier it becomes to add in or change the layout / functionality of the system
With this comes code re-use, but the extra development time it takes to make good re-usable maintainable code isn't re-couped until the 4th or 5th re-use.
If you want in this case your passing of the array to occur from many different places in your sequences, and you're building up lots of sequences to use them, then making a step type, and passing through the most convenient method you decide upon will make the implementation of the sequences easier to do.
If you only need it in a couple of ways, then you can do without the step type, and if it's not many different data sources, then pass by parameter to the dll through the function prototype directly, and use a regular DLL adapter to acheive it.
Mostly my 2-cents worth.

Default font issue in Word for Mac 2011 on Mavericks.

I'm using Word for Mac 2011 on Mavericks. When I copy Chinese text into a Word document, Word for some reason assigns it a Japanese font (MS 明朝). When I try to switch between English and Chinese input methods (command + space), the system constantly defaults to Japanese input. This can even happen if I save the entire document (command + A) in Chinese font (宋体). Where can I change this behaviour? I've looked in Word Preferences and System Preferences but can find nothing.
Notes:
a. This behaviour is not just a Word problem. It never happened in OS 10.6.
b. Please don't tell me to just close the Japanese IME because I also use Japanese.

Apple preferences are kind of irrelevant for Word. The place to look for Tools > Language is in the Word menu itself. And the keyboard/font matching box is in Word preferences/Edit/Editing Options.

Test Stand Evaluation

Hi.
I would like to get some feedback regarding using Test Stand with Labview.
Currently I am using Delphi Interface as my Excecutive Engine and Active
X server to communicate with labview. The data logging, PLC I/O and Login/logout
are part of Delphi Inteface. The labview is used only to execute the actual
test. Now by switching to Test Stand, would that benefit me in any way.(For
instance: Does Test Stand(LV Server) allows me to run single or multiple
Vi's, without creating 'exe')?

There could be lots of advantages to switching to TestStand, but it depends on your application.
1. If you deploy your applications to several different environments or uses (board test, system test, service, field service, etc.) then TestStand allows you to customize different "process models" for each environment. The actual test code is contained in a sequence file. Since the process model is shared by all sequence files, it is a great place to put the common functions such as UUT identification and data logging. Even if you don't need different process models, keeping all this code in one place makes it easier to maintain. There is no compiling with TestStand, so you can change the process model and the changes will take effect in all your applications.
2.
TestStand allows you to easily call many different types of code, not just Labview. You can call CVI, DLL's, EXE's, and ActiveX. I recently saw an article about a way to call Perl code. Again, the value of this depends on your application.
3. If you want to integrate your application with a database, TestStand has great database tools. The database logging utility allows you to log data to any table format.
4. If you are loading test limits from an external source, TestStand makes it easy with a tool called Property Loader.
I suggest you get a free demo copy and try it out. TestStand is incredibly powerful.

When attempting to open a hyperlink to a PDF file on the web from a Microsoft WORD for Mac 2011 (14.3.9) document, Safari 7.0 instead displays the file as text?

When attempting to open a hyperlink to a PDF file on the web from a Microsoft WORD for Mac 2011 (14.3.9) document, Safari 7.0 instead displays the file as text?

As seen in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macword/has-the-word- 2011-for-mac-invisible-toolbars/018a3ab6-0570-4ad5-abf8-5b6427fdde3e?msgId=e111b f0a-0e32-4fa3-9536-f349dad8439d
and it worked for me:
1. Quit Word
2. In the Finder's menu bar, select Go > Go to folder and type or paste: ~/Library/Preferences/
3. Click on Go
4. Locate the preference file com.microsoft.Word.plist, then Option-drag it to the desktop to create a backup copy
5. Go to Applications/Utilities and open Terminal
6. Paste the following bold command at the $ prompt (it's a single line):
defaults write com.microsoft.Word 14\\Toolbars\\Show_HIToolbar -boolean TRUE
7. Press Return and then quit with Command Q
8. Start Word and test. If the fix works, trash the backup file in the Desktop file. Otherwise, restore it.

Word for Mac 2008 - documents even at 100% size are too small!

I am new to Mac. Just started using Word for Mac (2008) on my new MacBook Air. (I do not have a current user contract with Microsoft for this Word for Mac, so I cannot call them for support.)
The 100% setting shows my new (and old) documents in a very, very reduced way. Only by zooming to the 200% setting can I get the documents to look a normal, standard size. I never experienced this on a PC, using Word versions 1995, 2000, 2007, 2011. I have searched the internet for answers, but have found nothing to solve this. I am sure there must be others having this same problem. Can anyone help me?

Apparently this is a shortcoming of Mac OS X - resolution independence would allow the display and real world size to match. There is also no way of offsetting this and entering the real dpi of your Macbook Air into MS Word - it just assumes the display is 72dpi and that is that. There is no way to make it correct as it stands unfortunately.

I have a new iMac and bought Pages. Will Pages be able to send my document as a .doc document to Microsoft user recipients? Do I save it as a Word for Windows document,?

Is Pages able to Save my work as a Word.doc file, when I want to send something to a Microsoft user who needs .doc and not doc.x type format to open it? The recipient will not accept any document that is not .doc format.

Hi Storm,
File menu > Export...
Choose Word. Click Next...
Name the document. Choose a location to save the file. Click export.
Go to the Finder.
Locate the file just exported.
If the extension is not displayed, Select the file, then press command-I to Get Info
In the info window, check the Name & Extension section to find the extension added.
Note that translations are not perfect. Some features are not supported by both applications, others may be handled in incompatible ways. Keep your documents simple for best results.

How do you add a Comment when editing document in Word for ipad?

How do you add a Comment when editing a document in Word for ipad. I've subscribed to Office, so have full editing functions. Can Track changes etc in Review, but can't see how to add a marginal Comment.

Comments, like they are in Numbers for OS X, are not really supported in iOS. Normally, they rely on a mouse-over to read them. Since there is no mouse on the iPad, it stands to reason they are not there.
I believe Eric Ross's comments is more geared towards used said Numbers docs on iWork.com.

Test Stand results filtering

I wish to run two different sequence programs on the same PC using Test Stand, one sequence program to record all results and another sequence program that needs to record failures only. Currently I can only achieve this by manually changing the results filtering expression in the report model each time I swap from one program to another. Is there a way of changing the results filtering expression programatically with the test sequence so that I do not have to manually keep changing the results filtering expression?

HI,
find attached a 2.01 version.
The ReportOptions sequence only sets the filter up and for Passed/Done/Skipped so if you run the example you will only have the Failed step which is the test test.

Good NI Test Stand Examples For a Beginner (Using LabVIEW)

Hi everyone, I am new to using NI Test Stand. I have gone through the "Getting Started with NI Test Stand" and "Using LabVIEW with Test Stand" documents.
I know in the NI Test Stand Example folder there are many examples. Are there any examples that cater to new users to Test Stand?
Where can I find good examples (demos) for developing test sequences, local variables, parameters, etc...in Test Stand?
Thanks so much!

If you have the SSP you could access online training an do the exercises on the training.
but the examples is a good way to getting started. just play around with all the options you have.
