Exporting/Loading properties for Multiple Numeric steps

So, my test uses quite a few 'Multiple Numeric' test steps.
I am just looking at using the property loader to import all of these limit values.
Now as i understand each test step in the property file (excel im y case) must have multiple columns (for each index in the data array)
I also understand that the easiest way to generate the excel properties file is to export it before adding the values.
Now, I am using the 'tools - import/export properties' window, and i try to add Step.Result.Measurement[x].Limits.Low but it is not available.
There is an entry for Step.Result.Measurement[?].HighExpr, so i can add that, then change it to [0], [1] etc
Is there not a way to add all of the array items at once?
I need '.comp' '.Limits.Low' '.Limits.High' for each array element.
Have i missed something obvious?

Hi, I;m using 2010.
I'll give a more specific case:
In one of my multiple numeric tests i have the limit expression : Step.Result.Measurement["ck1+"].Limits.High
(I even tryed removing the alias and using : Step.Result.Measurement[0].Limits.High)
This can be found in the expression browser tree.
But this does not appear in the tree of expressions when using the properties import/export window.
The only items that do are: Result.Measurement[?].Limits.LowExpr & Result.Measurement[?].Limits.HighExpr
i have tried manual editing entries there, but they are ignored when exporting.

Import/export properties of multiple numeric limit steps

Hello
I have a question to the property loader and the import/export tool in TestStand 3.5.
When I want to export the limits of a sequence with multiple numeric steps with the import/export tool, I press the Limits button to include the limits into the 'selected' field of the properties tab. But for the multiple numeric step the limits are included not for all indices but only once with an question mark instead of an index (Result.Measurement[?].Limits.Low, Result.Measurement[?].Limits.High, Result.Measurement[?].Limits.Comp).
The property loader step acts the same way.
What can I do ?
Thanks
Olli

Hi Olli,
For the multiple numeric limit test, you will need to individually specify which numeric limits you want to export. Lets suppose you have 3 sets of limits for your multiple numeric limit test. If you wanted to export the first set, you would use the syntax
Step.Result.Measurement[0].Limits.Low
Step.Result.Measurement[0].Limits.High
You will need to do this for each set of limits you have in your array. Simply replace the "?" with the index of the element in the array.
Hope this helps!

Measurement for multiple numeric limit test

Hello,
I am developing a test software using LabWindows and TestStand. In my application, I have added a no: of multinumeric tests. In Operator Interface, I want to display each measurement in run time, instead of waiting for completion of all the measurements with Multiple numeric limit test. Is there any way to receive in TSOP each runtime measurent taken for multiple numeric limit test without waiting for multinumeric limit test over?
Thanks in advance......
Best Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Unfortunately, a Multiple Numeric Limit Test will not allow you to return each measurement inside the step as it executes. If you need this to occur, there are other methods that you could take. You could create a custom step type or use many Numeric Limit Test steps and pass them the indexes in your array.
Another method you might use would be to use an Action step and save the array locally. Then, you could use Statement steps to evaluate each item in the array.

Creating custom edit step (LV) for multiple numeric test

Hello,
i want to write a custom edit step (LabView) for a custom multiple numeric test (TestStand 3.0). It should be the replacement for the editmultinumericmeasurementstep. Have anybody done this before and example code or a solution?
greetings schwede

Hello,
thankyou for your answer. But it doesn`t help. I know how to create a custom step type. But I want to create a custom multiple numeric limit test step type with a custom vi as the editmultinumericmeasurementstep. It is quiet difficulty, because i want to create my own measurements (see the attachment). The name of the test should not be measurement 0 or 1 but LED test color oder LED test intensity.
greetings schwede

Load Options for Edit Sub Step

Hi Ppl,
I have created a custom step type which has a edit sub step with LabVIEW adapter. When invoke the edit sub step for the first time, it takes a while to load the edit sub step and there is a noticebale delay for the first time. I want the edit sub step module to be loaded when TestStand is open or when the sequence file is open. I was not able to locate any location where we can specify the load and unload options of the edit sub step. Is there any way to do this ?
Thanks,
Sathish

This is probably because of the launching of LabVIEW development system.
Have you tried setting the Load option for the SequenceFile to 'Preload when opening sequence file'

Export to Excel for multiple dataproviders in WAD

Hello Guys,
I need a quick note on the requirement. Is there any possible solution to get data from different data providers used in WAD exported into one excel sheet.
The backend is 2004s but WAD used is 3.5.
Actual scenario is there are 8 different data providers in WAD with a different query assigned to each data provider. Right now 8 different buttons are provided for Export to Excel for 8 different data providers.
This works fine bringing data in 8 different excel sheet. But users feel this is very annoying task and they need data from all 8 data providers in one single excel sheet.
So is there any way to achieve this. I have assumed this to be a long associated problem with 3.5 WAD but i thought there might be a way around.
Please help me with a solution or either your view on this.
Regards,
Shashank

Shashank,
This is an oft repeated requirement ... but then export to excel is dataprovider specific and in WAD each dataprovider corresponds to a single table and getting all the data together is not possible .... but then there might be some other work around - you can check the forums for the same where options for the same have been discussed.

SA520 load balancing for multiple IPSec connections

Hello,
I just would like to ask whether the following is possible or what other people think might be the best way to go.
Let me describe the current setup:
Our company has a main office which is connected to the internet through an SA520W appliance, and two satellite offices which have other IPSec routers installed. The SA520W is currently only connected through the main WAN interface to a DSL line (DSL 16000). The tunnels are established and it all works quite well.
However, we have experienced lags and slow connections when someone transfers a larger file from the main office to the outside (either satellite office or, say, some FTP server on the internet). This is of course due to the limited upload capacity of the DSL line. Therefore, I am thinking about getting another DSL line for use as the optional WAN port of the SA520W.
My question is: Is it possible to establish two IPSec tunnels from a satellite office to the main office, one to the main WAN port and one to the optional WAN port of the SA520W? The two main hurdles I see with that is that a) the SA520W can only bind IPSec to one port and b) the network mask of each IPSec phase 2 needs to identify the subnet uniquely. Am I correct with the assumption that this cannot be done?
If so, the only way I can see right now is to bind all IPsec traffic to the optional port and have at least main office <-> internet traffic separated from all IPSec traffic. Or has anyone a better solution to this?
Thanks in advance,
Roland

I honestly don't recall any issues with the load balancing. I've personally never seen an issue, opened a case for one or observed a problem in my lab using multiple T1 lines...
That's not to say there could be a problem. But as far as I know this aspect of the router is solid.
The only thing I strongly dislike about most modern DSL deployments, the ISP like to give out "residential" or "business" gateways. These things just make life terrible since it is a router/nat device.

After upgrading to 12, I am not able to scroll in a tab until the tab is finished loading. For multiple tabs: any tab can be loading and all others lock.

Since upgrading to 12, I am unable to scroll in a tab until that tab finishes loading. Worse yet, I'm unable to scroll in ANY tab if one of multiple is loading. Further: I cannot even switch tab views if ANY tab is loading. I have not changed any settings. This only started when upgrading to 12. Oh how I would love to roll it back to 11. Is anyone else seeing this happen?

Please make sure that your settings are correct for session restore:
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-previous-session#w_troubleshooting]
If the feature has changed, this may have affected thesession. However for good measure I would also recommend an add on like Session Manager to keep back ups.

EWS Managed API: Email sender name incorrect if loading properties of multiple emails and several emails have same email address (but different names)

Hi,
I have an issue using the Exchange Web Services Managed API. I'm essentially implementing an 'inbox', and am essentially using two calls:
folder.FindItems(filter, view) with the view set up with the 'idonly' property.
The returns a 'FindItemResults<>' object containing a set of items.
And then calling service.LoadPropertiesForItems(items, props), where the props contains all 'first class properties', which includes the sender details.
Now, the inbox contains several emails from the same email address but with different displaynames.
E.g. There may be one email from "Bob <[email protected]>" and another email from "Alice <[email protected]>" and another email from "Charlie <[email protected]>" etc.
The issue is that in the information that EWS returns from the call to LoadPropertiesForItems, every email ends up with the same sender name (from the first one in the list)!
i.e. When I enumerate through the returned items, the item.Sender.Name will always be"Bob" for every email where Sender.Address is [email protected]
I have debugged this with a http sniffer just to ensure that it really is the EWS coming back with this information rather than anything in the managed layer.
Is this a known issue? How can I work around this (without querying every single email for the sender name individually, as that would be too slow)?
Thanks

Hi Venkat,
Thanks for the reply.
The scenario is that the client receives emails from a (3rd-party) automated system. The email address from this automated system is always "noreply@<blah.com>", while the display name is used to differentiate the actual sender.
I suspect that this kind of system will likely become more widely used, and so for us will increase in priority (obviously its a priority for our client already)!
Just for the record, if this is a known issue do you have a bug number or equivalent for it? (I tried to search but couldn't locate it).

Property Loader and Multiple Numeric Limit Test

Hi!
I'm trying to export the limits of all numeric limit tests im my sequence.
I've no idea what i'm doing wrong, but i fail with exporting the limits of the multiple numeric limit tests. There are only the limits of the "normal" numeric limit tests in my export.
Could someone please explain me how to export also the limits of the multiple numeric limit test?
(TS 2013)

when defining what to export, it is usually easiest/cleanest if you can explicitly define all multiple numeric step measurements as explicit indixes? For example if your MNL step has 2 measurements defined, you'd want to export 4 additional matches...
Step.Result.Measurement[0].Limits.Low
Step.Result.Measurement[0].Limits.High
Step.Result.Measurement[1].Limits.Low
Step.Result.Measurement[1].Limits.High
...and so on for more indexes....
note how the pattern is different from the regular
Step.Limits.*
by default when you try to export using the '>' buttons for MNL steps, TestStand will usually try to help by generating an incomplete/invalid expression of:
Step.Result.Measurement[?].Limits
which it expects you as the user to fix before proceeding, however the '?' is often overlooked, because it's so small!
some people prefer to simply export the entire Step.Result.Measurement.* to the file because they'd prefer not to define array indexes, but this will log the explicit XML for the container values, which may not be as easy for end users to work with... your mileage may vary. Good luck!

Different decimal point character for numeric limit test vs multiple numeric test with database logging

Hi all,
I have a problem with decimal point character and database logging.
I've deselected "Use Localized Decimal Point" in Station Options->Localization. Teststand should now use "." as decimal point character (ignore the "'s).
When logging to database this is only true for Multiple numeric limit test results, not for Numeric limit test results.
Numeric limit test results use "," as decimal point character where it should be "."
I can't trust the localization settings on the PC as different endusers might have different settings.
Example:
(STEP_NAME and PROP_RESULT.DATA)
Numeric limit test 1,50127667932332
Multiple numeric limit test result_1 1
Multiple numeric limit test result_2 1
Multiple numeric limit test result_3 10.0304317
I've changed the Limits->Numeric format for each test but this change is only applied to the report, not the database result.
Read the manuals but didn't find anything...
Have I missed something obvious, or is this some kind of bug?
Teststand version is 2010.
Windows versions are XP SP3 and Win7. Same behavior on both OS.

When something is logged to the database as a number, the database is probably storing it in a way that is independent of any sort of decimal point localization. When you view the items in the database however it is probably going to show you the number based on the current locale settings. This is likely purely cosmetic, for display purposes.

Can I exclude measurement (of multiple numeric limit test) from results ?

I'm working on test where instrument returns multiple results at one call.
I use NI MultipleNumericLimitTest -step type (TS 2.0.1).
In some cases I'd like to exclude certain measurement from the results.
I could do this for example by setting Comparison type of selected measurement to "No Comparison", so that this measurement is assumed to PASS always.
Is there any property flag or any other way to exclude measurement from the results completely ?
(So I don't want this measurement to affect on multiple limit test status or to appear in the report)
cheers,
Masi

Hi!
Yes, there is a property that you can set/reset that specifies whether the property appears in the report or not.
1. Right click on your multiple numeric step and select View Contents
2. From the tree view, browse to YourStep->Results->Measurement.
3. Right click Measurement and select properties.
4. Click the Advanced button and look for the PropFlags_IncludeInReport flag and uncheck it.
That's it, now your measurements will not appear in the report. If you want some of the measurements (but not all) to be included in the report, then browse to the specific measurement YourStep->Results->Measurement[i], and check the PropFlags_IncludeInReport flag for that property.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information.
Marcela.

Multiple Numeric Limit Test - Evaluate Post and Status Expression

We have a Multiple Numeric Limit Test where the limits for one of the measurements is a function of one of the other measurements.
In the Post-Expression there are two expressions that set the low and high limit based on one of the readings.
But the comparison does not seem to be using the calculated limits.
The report file shows the correct calculated Low and High Limits, and shows the measured reading as being in between the Low and High limit, but fails that measurement. I feel the Status Expression is using the default limits that are out of range.
The post expression looks like this
Step.Result.Measurement[2].Limits.Low=Step.NumericArray[1]*1.9,
Step.Result.Measurement[2].Limits.High=Step.NumericArray[1]*2.1
In Table 3-4 "Order of Action that a Step Performs", Evaluate Post-Expression (Action #15) is before Evaluate Status Expression (Action #16), but it seems that is not the case.
Or am I changing the wrong Low and High Limits. Am I just changing the Limits used in the report file and not the limits used for comparison?
Again the correct low and high limits are in the report but not used for comparison.
Thanks

Digging into the NI step type for Multiple Numeric Limit Test, I find that the comparison is done at Post-Step substep which is before my Post Expression is evaluated to set the correct limits.
So I have added code to my VI module to set the limits after taking the measurements but before returning to TestStand.
