How to set sequence file in Simple TestStand IO

Hello All,
Everytime I run the Simple IO - Top Level.vi, it loads the last run sequence file. How do I default it to certain sequence?
Great appreciate for your help.

You can use the open sequence file method on the application manager (then you only need to wire the file path)

How to get Sequence File Name ?

Hello everybody !!
I'm using TestStand 3.1 and i would like to get sequence file name. I've tried to use NameOf() function, but without success.
Of course, I've searched previous posts about the same question, but nothing works.
Is there someone able to tell me how to get sequence file name ?
Thanks a lot.
MrOrange

MrOrange,
first of all, the solution i will present only works for saved sequence files.
you got all information you need within TestStand itself, just browse for RunState.SequenceFile.Path. here you can find the filename. but the path of the file is also included in the string, so this is a part you have to get rid off.
you can use statements to extract the filename from the path. just search the string for the last occurence of "\\" (searchinreverse!) and then you can retrieve the right() part of the path. beware that right() needs the number of characters you want to extract, not the startindex!!
hope this helps,

Sequence files documentation in TestStand 4.0.1

How can I generate sequence files documentaton in TestStand 4.0.1 for all sequences from particular workspace (tests suite) in automatic way? Is there any seqence already written or mayby TestStand 4.0.1 provides some extention of sequence files documentation tool known from TestStand 3.x

It's not trivial, but if you look at the ForEach.seq tool sequence (Components\NI\Tools\ForEach.seq) you can use that as an example of enumerating all .seq files under a particular directory and performing an operation on them. That tool opens and resaves all the sequence files under a particular directory. With some work it could be made to generate sequence file documentation instead. Also I think there's a sequence in ForEach.seq that you could call to get back an array of all sequence files' absolute paths under a particular directory which you could then loop on and call into the documentation sequence with.
Hope this helps,

How to set default file path while downloading alv output

Hi,
Can anyone tell me that how to set default file path while downloading the ALV output to system using Local file button on tool bar.
Please look below screenshots:
Kindly help me resolve it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ashutosh Katara

This information initial value is (maybe) stored in Windows Register (register.exe) at Software\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\Filetransfer -> PathDownload, you can read it thru class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES method GET_UPLOAD_DOWNLOAD_PATH and update it thru method REGISTRY_SET_VALUE. (Else there may be some parameter ID to force data, but I'm no longer sure)

Programatically select a step in a sequence in a sequence file loaded in TestStand sequence editor using C#

Hi all,
I have written C# code to load a sequence file dynamically in TestStand Sequence editor. The code is as follows...
myEngine.PostUIMessage(mySequenceContext.Execution, mySequenceContext.Thread, UIMessageCodes.UIMsg_OpenWindows, 0, null, mySequenceFile, true );
The code is working fine and I could view the Sequence file opened in TestStand Sequence editor.
Now, I wish to select one sequence in the opened sequence file to get the details of the sequence programatically. In other words, I want to simulate a mouse click to a sequence and view the steps associated with that sequence.
Can anybody give some clues...
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Also I am getting error like "Index out of range. Source: TSUISUPP.SelectedSteps at NationalInstruments.TestStand.Interop.UI.Support.SelectedSteps.AddStep(Step val)". Error code: "-17500; Operation Failed." My code is like
mySequenceFile = myEngine.GetSequenceFileEx(@"D:\dynamic loaded sequence.seq", 0, TypeConflictHandlerTypes.ConflictHandler_UseGlobalType);
mySequence = mySequenceFile.GetSequenceByName("First");
Step myStep = mySequence.GetStep(2, StepGroups.StepGroup_Main);
SequenceContext mySequenceContext = mySequenceFile.NewEditContext();
mySequenceContext .AsPropertyObject();
myEngine.PostUIMessage(mySequenceContext .Execution, mySequenceContext .Thread, UIMessageCodes.UIMsg_OpenWindows, 0, null, mySequenceFile, true);
ApplicationMgr applicationMgr = (ApplicationMgr)myEngine.GetInternalOption(InternalOptions.InternalOption_ApplicationManager);
SequenceFileViewMgr sequenceFileViewMgr = (SequenceFileViewMgr)applicationMgr.GetSequenceFileViewMgr(mySequenceFile);
sequenceFileViewMgr.SelectedSequences.Clear();
sequenceFileViewMgr.SelectedSequences.AddSequence(mySequence);
sequenceFileViewMgr.SelectedSteps.AddStep(myStep);
I am sure that my Sequence selected in the Sequence file loaded has more than 2 steps. Please help me in solving this problem and that in the previous post.
Thanks,

If you are using an older version of the CVI Test Exec toolkit, check with your local Field Sales rep to see about getting the necessary software to use for temporarily upgrading your existing Test Exec sequences to version 2.0 for migrating to TestStand.

Sure, when you are adding your entry to the packing list, give the name in the obj_name field.
*File 2
mailbin = 'This is file 2'.
append mailbin.
data: start type i.
data: end type i.
start = tab_lines + 1.
describe table mailbin lines end.
mailpack-transf_bin = 'X'.
mailpack-head_start = 1.
mailpack-head_num = 1.
mailpack-body_start = start.
mailpack-body_num = end.
mailpack-doc_type = 'TXT'.
mailpack-obj_name = 'TEST2'. "<- RIGHT HERE
mailpack-obj_descr = 'Subject'.
mailpack-doc_size = tab_lines * 255.
append mailpack.

How can I run sequentially each SequenceCall that is present within a sequence file in NI teststand

I have a sequence file which tests a number of DUT's. Each DUT has its own SequenceCall within the Sequence File.
I have set up each SequenceCall to create a New Execution and run in Single Pass to create a separate report for each DUT.
My problem is that when the Sequence File executes, it Calls all SequenceCall's and they begin to run in parallel, I want them to run in sequence. I tried using the PreCondition and Evaluate Precondition option of each SequenceCall to make sure the first/previous SequenceCall had completed but this did not work, the Sequence File still called each SequenCall at same time.

Why are you spawning a new execution each time?
Next to the Exeuction Options there is a button with a hammer and a wrench on it. When you click on that you get the Sequence Call Advanced Settings. Change the Wait for Execution to Complete: to Before executing next step.

How to display sequence file version in report?

We would like to add the sequence file version number
(Edit>>Sequence File Properties...) to our reports and record it
in the test result database. How do you access this property from
a step in the sequence?

OR use RunState.SequenceFile.Data.Version.
For the Report Header:
In a ModifyReportHeader callback, add a statement step that has this expression:
Parameters.ReportHeader += RunState.SequenceFile.Data.Version
This will append the SequenceFile Version to the header string. You will probably want to play with placement and may decide to insert more than just the version.
Also, note that the ModifyReportHeader callback is only called when a Sequence is used to generate the report body. See the bottom of the Content tab of the Report Options Dialog (Configure>>Report Options) for this setting.
For Database Logging:
If you haven’t done this before, you will need to customize the schema and the database to include this additional “result”. I recommend adding a column to the UUT_RESULT table for this sort of information. If you have taken the TestStand I: Introduction course, this process is covered in Lesson 11. Otherwise, there is background information in the TestStand Help and Chapter 6 of the TestStand Reference Manual. The key will be found in Configure>>Database Options.

Display a default subsequence when openning a sequence file in the TestStand editor

Is there a way to set the default sequence displayed when openning up a sequence file?
Seems that the steps for MainSequence are typically displayed first when openning an existing sequence.
How do I set it to display another subsequence I created when I open the sequence file.
Or if it is displaying a subsequence other than MainSequence, how do I set it back to display MainSequence by default when reopenning the file in TestStand.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Jeff,
Sequences are stored in sequence files in 0-N order. The default sequence will be the 0th one. To change the order in the sequence editor you can click on the Sequence bar above the sequences. Keep clicking until there are no arrows on it. This is the true order of sequences in the sequence file. Drag the one you want visible to the top.
See the image so you know what I'm talking about.
Hope this helps,

How to set selected file in FileChooser showSaveDialog to default file name

Hi,
How do I set selected file in JavaFX 2.0 FileChooser showSaveDialog, so I can prompt the user with a suggested default file name?
I am converting a Java Swing application I wrote a few years ago to JavaFX 2.0.
In the Swing application, I use setSelectedFile() as follows:
JFileChooser jFileChooser = new JFileChooser();
jFileChooser.setSelectedFile(new File(backupfile));
jFileChooser.setCurrentDirectory(new File(outputDirectory));
FileFilter filter = new FileNameExtensionFilter("Comma Delimited (*.csv)", "csv");
jFileChooser.addChoosableFileFilter(filter);
jFileChooser.setFileFilter(filter);
filter = new FileNameExtensionFilter("XML Document (*.xml)", "xml");
jFileChooser.addChoosableFileFilter(filter);
jFileChooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
jFileChooser.setDialogTitle("Export File");
int returnVal = jFileChooser.showDialog(jFrame, "Export");
This would show a file chooser with the file name text field pre-populated with a default backup file name.
I can't find an equivalent in JavaFX.
Also, in the Swing application, I was able to determine which extension filter was selected at run time using getFileFilter().getDescription() as follows:
String extension = jFileChooser.getFileFilter().getDescription();
if (extension.equals("XML Document (*.xml)")) { ...
I can't find an equivalent in JavaFX.
Thanks,
Barry

How to load configuration files with to TestStand

Hello,
I need an expert advise on setting up Teststand environment. I am developing a generic tester that will eventually support multiple product lines. The PXI equipment is common but the Pin assignment will change from product to another. So, I was thinking to have a configuration file (xml, excel, .csv...etc) that defines each product line. The configuration file will contain all the pin routing, like which pin is connected to which NI Card channel and fault insertion unit. My thought was to load this configuration file to the Teststand environment before starting a series of tests. I had in mind using XML files and use a labview parser to extract the data and write it to Teststand variables. My question is:
Is this the best practice for this approach ? Is there a better method ? Can I load data into Teststand first and hold the data in Teststand while testing a bunch of UUTs. I do not want load this file at the beginning of every Test, just once when opening Teststand.
I appreciate any advise on this.
Thanks,
Ayman

I'm using .ini file with configuration information and a startup sequence what read this file, configure the system and then run selected tests. Selected tests list is in the .ini file as well. Configuration info is passed to subsequences as a parameter or "propagate local".
I disagree with the idea of creating a separate sequence for each product, this solution is not scalable.

How to set default file extension in the FileChooser?

We are trying to use the FileChooser but for some reason, it doesn't have any file extensions in the drop down menu (like in windows). Does anyone know how to put this in?
Also, how do we set the file name for the saving file, rather than typing the name in ourself?
Also, how do we position the file chooser dialog in the middle of the screen? Right now, it's in the top left corner of the screen.
Here's our piece of code, used for saving file.
FileChooser fileChooser = new FileChooser();
        File file = fileChooser.showSaveDialog(stage);
        /*User might clicked on the cancel button*/
        if (file != null) {
            try {
                Writer output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
                output.write(text);
                output.close();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                logger.error("save file error", ex);
        }Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
