How to make teststand understand I64 data type

I am calling one Labview VI in teststand where the input is numeric (representaion I-64).
Under the Module Section the Parameter Name, Type, In/Out, Default information is grayed out for the input.
Teststand understand the input if I change the same control to I32 type.
How can I make teststand understand I64 type of input?
Thanks,
Vidula

As a workaround, if you could convert it to a double in LV, you could still do math and comparisons with it as a single value in TestStand. To do this, you would have to be sure your value won't ever exceed the maximum integer range a double can losslessly represent, which I think is around 2^52.
For example, I think this would be an option if your value represented a file size in bytes for a file that you know is guaranted to always be smaller than a petabyte.

New Effective CAL essay: How do I create an abstract data type in CAL?

How do I create an abstract data type in CAL? An abstract data type is one whose internal representation can be changed without needing to modify the source code of client modules that make use of that type. For software maintainability, it is a good idea to make a type that is subject to change or enhancement into an abstract data type. Another reason to create an abstract data type is to enforce invariants for values of the type that can only be ensured by using constructor functions (i.e. functions that return values of that type). In principle it is simple to create an abstract data type in CAL. For an algebraic data type, make the type constructor public and all data constructors private. For a foreign data type, make the type constructor public and the implementation scope private. If a scope qualifier is omitted, the scope is taken to be private. For example, the Map algebraic data type has the public type constructor Map and the data constructors Tip and Bin are each private, so it is an abstract data type. /** A map from keys (of type {@code k@}) to values (of type {@code a@}). */ data public Map k a = private Tip | private Bin size :: !Int key :: !k value :: a leftMap :: !(Map k a) rightMap :: !(Map k a); There are a number of invariants of this type: the size field represents the number of elements in the map represented by its Bin value. The keys in leftMap are all less than key, which in turn is less than all the keys in rightMap. In particular, non-empty Map values can only be created if the key parameter type is a member of the Ord type class. Values of the Map type can be created outside the Cal.Collections.Map module only by using constructor functions such as insert: insert :: Ord k => k -> a -> Map k a -> Map k a; public insert !key value !map = ... The owner of the Cal.Collections.Map module must ensure that all invariants of the Map type are satisfied, but if this is done, then it will automatically hold for clients using this function. Some examples of foreign abstract data types are Color, StringNoCase and RelativeDate: data foreign unsafe import jvm private "java.awt.Color" public Color; data foreign unsafe import jvm private "java.lang.String" public StringNoCase; data foreign unsafe import jvm private "int" public RelativeDate; The private implementation scope for Color means that a foreign function whose type involves Color can only be declared in the Cal.Graphics.Color module where the Color type is defined. A foreign function declaration involving the Color type relies on the compiler knowing that the Color type corresponds to java.awt.Color to resolve the corresponding Java entity i.e. it must know about the implementation of the Color type. Having a private implementation scope means that the Color type can be changed to correspond to a different Java class, or indeed to be an algebraic type, without the risk of breaking client code. In all these three cases there are useful, and different, design reasons to adopt a private implementation scope: For RelativeDate, the Java implementation type int represents a coded Gregorian date value in the date scheme used by Crystal Reports. Not all int values correspond to valid dates, and the algorithm to map an int to a year/month/day equivalent is fairly complicated, taking into account things like Gregorian calendar reform. Thus, it is desirable to hide the implementation of this type. For StringNoCase, the implementation is more straightforward as a java.lang.String. The reason to adopt a private implementation scope is to ensure that all functions involving StringNoCase preserve the semantics of StringNoCase as representing a case-insensitive string value. Otherwise it is very easy for clients to declare a function such as: foreign unsafe import jvm "method replace" replaceChar :: StringNoCase -> Char -> Char -> StringNoCase; which does not handle case-insensitivity correctly, but is a perfectly valid declaration. This declaration results in a compilation error when it is placed outside the module in which StringNoCase is defined because of the private implementation scope of StringNoCase. For Color, the issue is somewhat more subtle. The java.awt.Color implementation type is semantically the same as the CAL Color type. The problem is that java.awt.Color is mutable (since it can be sub-classed to create a mutable type). It is preferable for a first-class CAL type to not be mutable, so we simply make the implementation scope private to ensure that this will be the case. A somewhat less encapsulated kind of abstract data type can be created using friend modules and protected scope. For example, if an algebraic type is public, and all its data constructors are protected, then the data constructors can be accessed in the friend modules of the module in which the type is defined. Effectively this means that the implementation of the semantics of the type stretches over the module in which the type is defined, and all of its friend modules. These must all be checked if the implementation of the type is modified. Given the merits of abstract data types discussed above, it is perhaps surprising that most of the core types defined in the Prelude module are not abstract data types. For example: Boolean, Char, Int, Double, String, List, Maybe, Either, Ordering, JObject, JList, and all record and tuple types are non-abstract types. There are different reasons for this, depending on the particular type involved. For example, Boolean, List, Maybe, Either and Ordering are all rather canonical algebraic data types with a long history in functional languages, with many standard functions using them. They are thus guaranteed never to change. In addition, their values have no particular design invariants that need to be enforced via constructor functions. Exposing the data constructors gives clients some additional syntactic flexibility in using values of the type. For example, they can pattern match on the values using case expressions or let patterns. Essentially the same explanation holds for record and tuple types. Although non-tuple record types are less canonical, they do correspond to the fundamental notion of an anonymous named-field product type. The "anonymous" here simply means that the programmer can create an entirely new record type simply by creating a value; the type does not have to be declared anywhere prior to use. Char, Int, Double, String, JObject and JList are foreign types where in fact part of the semantics of the type is that we want clients to know that the type is a foreign type. For example, we want clients to know that Prelude.Int is essentially the Java primitive unboxed int type, and has all the semantics you would expect of the Java int type i.e. this is quite different from RelativeDate which is using int as its implementation type in a very tactical way that we may choose to change. One can think of a public foreign type declaration with public implementation scope as simply introducing the Java type into the CAL namespace. One interesting point here is with CAL's naming convention for public foreign types. We prefix a type name by "J" (for "Java") for foreign types with public implementation type such that the underlying Java type is mutable. This is intended as mnemonic that the type is not a pure functional type and thus some caution needs to be taken when using it. For example, Prelude.JObject has public Java implementation type java.lang.Object. In the case where the underlying Java type is not mutable, we do not use the prefix, since even though the type is foreign; it is basically a first class functional type and can be freely used without concern. For example, Prelude.String has public Java implementation type java.lang.String. In the case where the implementation type is private, then the fact that the type is a foreign type, whether mutable or not, is an implementation detail and we do not hint at that detail via the name. Thus Color.Color has as its private Java implementation type the mutable Java type java.awt.Color. When creating abstract data types it is important to not inadvertently supply public API functions that conflict with the desired public semantics of the type. For example, if the type is publicly a pure-functional (i.e. immutable) type such as Color, it is important not to expose functions that mutate the internal Java representation. A more subtle case of inadvertently exposing the implementation of a type can occur with derived instances. For example, deriving the Prelude.Outputable and Prelude.Inputable type classes on a foreign type, whose implementation type is a mutable Java reference type, allows the client to gain access to the underlying Java value and mutate it
(by calling Prelude.output, mutating, and then calling Prelude.input). The solution in this case is to not derive Inputable and Outputable instances, but rather to define a custom Inputable and Outputable instance that copies the underlying values.

How to make use of adjacent data elements within the same buffer

Hi,
         Does anyone know how to make use of adjacent data elements within the same buffer? To make my question clearly, I would like to give you an example. In my application, I set "sample to read" as 10 which means at each loop 10 data samples will be taken into a buffer. Now, what I would like to do is to do some calculations on adjacent data samples in same buffer. I tried to use "shift register" for this, but it seemed to me that it only can deal with the calculation between data from adjacent loops. In other words, it skips 9 data elements and take the 10th one for the calculation.
         Here I also attach my VI showing what I did.
    Thank you very much in advance,
                        Suksun

Hi Suksun,
      I hope you'll forgive me for distilling your code - mainly to understand it better. I tried to duplicate your logic exactly - which required reversing the "derivatives"-array before concatination with the current samples array. As in your code, the last velocity is being paired with the first position. If first velocity is really supposed to be paired with first position, just remove the "Reverse 1D Array" node.
cheers

How to make the exchange of data between 2 while loop in real time

hello
I have 2 while loop
the 1st while loop includes the data acquisition program
the 2nd while loop includes the control program
my question is how to make the exchange of data between 2 while loop in real time
I tried with the local variable and direct wiring between the 2 while loop
it does not work (there is a delay)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Bilalus,
Queues are only good to transfer data if your application isn't deterministic. Since you are using Real Time, I am assuming that your application requires determinism. If you are using Timed Loops and you use queues to transfer data between your loops, you are losing determinism. In this case, you need to use the RT FIFO functions.

How to replace content in text data type?
when we sending the mails we are taking content from the database.
The data is maintained in text data type column. Now i have to replace some of content in mail content
(text data type column) from database.
I tried by using REPLACE function but data is truncated

The data is maintained in text data type column.
Hello,
See REPLACE (Transact-SQL) => "If
string_expression is not of type varchar(max) or
nvarchar(max), REPLACE
truncates the return value at 8,000 Bytes"
You may should consider to Change the data type from "Text" (deprecated) to NVarChar(max).
Otherwise you have to use
UPDATETEXT (Transact-SQL) for the text data type.

How to set default value to date type attribute.

Hi,
How to set default value to date type attribute.
E.g I want to set u201C01/01/1999u201D to date attributes.
First i want to set value and then i want to fetch the same & want to check equals.
please suggest solution.
Regards,
Smita

Hi,
In wdinit() method u can set the date
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date today = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
String reportDate = df.format(today);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setFromDate(reportDate);
Another way you have set the this formate like that
1. Create a Simple type under "Dictionaries->SimpleType" called DateFormat
2. Select the type as "date"
3. Go to the "Representation" tab and set the format as "dd/MM/yyyy" (or whatever u want, but month should be MM)
4.Bind the context attribute to the type created now.
Hope this helps u.
Best Regards

How do I pass a custom data type to a dll in TestStand?

I need to add a new feature / function to an existing TestStand program. The original program uses a custom data type for the LabVIEW VISA (serial com) reference, as shown below. I want to use the StationGlobals.VISA_Ref in my call to the dll.
The VI prototype is shown below. The VISA Ref In is a basic VISA reference control (serial comm) from LabVIEW. Nothing special.
I am stuck at trying to figure out how to configure the VISA Ref In parameter... I've searched this forum and the only posts which seem close to what I am attempting to do did not have any responses... I hope to be "luckier"..

What you are describing is similar to this, right? http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/22BF02003B4588808625717F003ECD67
I tried something similar to what you described.... unfortunately, TestStand is holding on to the serial port and has not let go yet... Which causes a run-time error within the LabVIEW code (dll) because the resource it is trying to use (COM port) is not available...
I will check the code and see whether they use the serial port after it gets to the new feature... Otherwise, I may close the port, use it within LabVIEW (dll), close it and then re-open within TestStand... That's why I wanted to pass the reference directly... Although, the way you describe it, it may be possible to pass that same reference indirectly and get the dll to work without having to play with closing / opening references. I'll explore that tomorrow.
Thanks.

How can I create a custom data type that is a 2D array of string by using TestStand API?

Hi all,
I'm new in TestStand:
I'm able to create a custom data type that is a 1D array of string but I cannot find the way to create a 2D array of string.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance.
Federico

I made it!!
Indeed my 2D array is an item of a container:
/*  Create a new container */
RunState.Engine.NewPropertyObject(Locals.NewDataType,PropValType_Container,False,"",0)
/*  Create an array of strings as item of the container */
Locals.NewDataType.NewSubProperty("Array_2D",PropValType_String,True,"",0)
/*  Reshape the array as an empty 2D array */
Locals.NewDataType.GetPropertyObject("Array_2D",0).Type.ArrayDimensions.SetBoundsByStrings("[0][0]","[][]")
being:
NewDataType a local property (type Object)

Sysgen : How to read the input port data type, width and rate dynamically in a masked subsystem ?

Hello everybody,
     I am designing a general purpose block in system generator. I pass the user parameters to the block through masking it. Some user parameters can change the block configuration. The input port data type, width and rate can also affect the block configuration.
     The problem is that these values (input port data type, width and rate) are subject to change. So I should read them dynamically, then change the block configuration through programming the "Initialization Commands" field. But unfortunately there is no straight way to read the input port information.
     There are some methods in for example the "Black Box". these are:
input_width = this_block.port('din').width;
input_rate = this_block.port('din').rate;
But these methods are not applicable to a masked subsystem.
I have tried other ways also. You can find them below. None of them worked.
Does anybody know how can I solve this problem?
Other ways I tried:
1)
design_name([],[],[],'compile')
q=get_param(gcb,'PortHandles');
get_param(q.Inport,'CompiledPortDataType')
get_param(q.Inport,'CompiledPortWidth')
get_param(q.Inport,'CompiledPortDimensions')
design_name([],[],[],'term')
2)
ssGetInputPortDataType
3)
ts = Simulink.Block.getSampleTimes([gcb '/Input'])

Today we rely on Simulink to perform parameterization of your designs in two ways:
Parameterizable Subsystems and Blocks : Parameters themselves can be MATLAB expressions that need to be evaluated for which we need the MATLAB interpreter
The very useful Rate and Type propagation or Simulink compilation that allows us to specify types & rates in one location that gets systematically propagated to all.
To truly make the HDL Netlist that is generated from SysGen parameterizable, we would have to implement some of this capability in the HDL netlist itself by:
Using Generics(VHDL) or Parameters(Verilog) - We would have to capture the bit width(type) propagation through levels of hierarchies and finally parameterize the IP itself based on this value
Since IP itself does not have this capability through generics, we would have to package a separate tcl script that updates the IP parameterization appropriately in response to top level parameters(or GUI parameters)
Interpreting MATLAB expressions and translating them into VHDL/Verilog expressions (alternatively tcl expressions of IP). In simulink, mask parameters can be passed from one level to the next. Also parameterization of a block can be composed of Matlab expressions using variables from ancestor masks & the MATLAB interpreter – so we will need to somehow capture that as well.

How to show a Account member (date type) in reports??

Hi,
I have a Account member of date type.
but when I am using that member in reports it is not showing me the date that I have entered in planning web form.
I have the same member in planning web form and it is showing me proper date.
Eg: 19/Dec/1985 is showing as 19851219 in report.
How to display it in proper date format???
Thanks,
Sourabh

I think you might be using Essbase database connection in reports where dates are stored as numbers. You probably need to use Planning database connection on your reports to make date data type show up correctly.

How to create longtext or blob data types in SQL using labview

Hello,
I am fairly new to SQL, and I'm using the labview database connectivity toolset. Using labview 6.1
I am using the DB Tools Create Table vi to create my tables. I want the tables to hold 1000 character strings. But the longest string that I can insert seem to be 255 characters. I think It is a limitation of the "String" data type in SQL so I need to use text or blob types. The problem is I created a control for the "Column Information" field and I see the following selections for the data type. (String, Long, Single, Double, date/time, binary). I dont see any selection for text or blobs. How do I define another data type that is not part of the selection in the control?
Thanks for any help.

I don't know about defining long text, but the equivalent of a BLOB should be the binary data type, which just holds the data you put into it without formatting it.
Try to take over the world!
