In LabVIEW OI the Run Selected Step Using Test UUTs does not work

TestStand LabVIEW Operator Interface (old style) - TestStand Version 2.0.1 & 3.0
The Interactive option was enabled for the Process Model Entry Point - Test UUTs in the SequentialModel.seq.
When selective steps were selected to run within the LV OI using the menu item 'Run Selected Step Using - Test UUTs' it was found not to work.
The reason for it not working was because the main event string was "Run Selected Step 0" but this isn't available in the case statement. Changing the "Run Selected Step 1".."Run Selected Step 9999" to "Run Selected Step 0".. didn't produced the desired result. Instead of the selected steps running using the entry point Test UUTs, the steps ran without the process model.
The Case Statement string was retored back to "Run Selected Step 1".
The changes that are required to make the "Run Selected Step 1".."Run Selected Step 9999" work with either of the Entry Points are as follow.
In the VI TestStand - Create Entry Point Menus for Interactive Exec.vi
Insert an Increment from the iteration terminal of the FOR loop. This ensures the Message Queue string generated is in the range 1 - 9999 not 0 - 9999.
In the TestStand - Sequence Display.vi
For the Main Message Event "Run Selected Steps", "Run Selected Step 1".."Run Selected Step 9999"
In the case "1, Default", decrement the input 'Entry Point Index' to the VI TestStand - Start Interactive Entry Point Execution.vi. This ensures the Entry Point Index starts from the value 0.
Now when the selected steps are run using a Pocess Model Entry Point, they run correctly.
This problem only appears to affect the LabVIEW Operator Interface and only the old style. The new style that comes with TestStand 3.0 runs correctly.
There is one other problem. When an Operator is logged in to TestStand, the Entry Point - 'Single Pass' is disabled. But this is not reflected to the menu item 'Run Selected Step Using'. Both 'Test UUTs' and 'Single Pass' are available to the operator.
The reason for this is because in the VI 'TestStand - Create Entry Point Menus for Interactive Exec.vi' the sub menu item is enabled as a result from the property Sequence.AllowInteractiveExecutionOfEntryPoint. This is not enough to disable the 'Single Pass'. The Engine.CurrentUserHasPrivilege needs to be checked as well. Which means modications to the VI 'TestStand - Create Entry Point Menus for Interactive Exec.vi'.
Hope is maybe of help to anyone that may need to use this option.

Thanks Ray for the "heads-up". )
I am about to implement a vi which calls TestStand functions. This vi will allow to select tests and permits test re-entry (loops) if the user has supervisor privileges.
I will consider what you recommend in this string.
I will also provide feedback on this thread if I discover anything .... let's say "unusual"..
On another note, I am using TestStand 3.0 I have not observed any problems when running selected steps or run selected steps using single pass. I have also within TestStand set privileges for certain Operators to do the same. They have not reported any problems.
Thanks,
JLV

  • OBIEE 11.1.1.6.5 - selection steps on a calculation does not work correctly

    I have a tabular report with a hierarchy column (cost centre) on the left, which is displaying at the top level (total company). The report has a metric for actual ytd, one for budget ytd and a calculation for variance (actual ytd - budget ytd).
    When I add a selection step to keep only the top 10 cost centres at the bottom level of the hierarchy based on the variance, the report returns the top 10 cost centres based just on actual ytd ie only the first part of the calculation. It seems to ignore the whole calculation even though it has brackets around it. The selection step appears to be written correctly when I view it in the report but it is not working as I expect.
    Has anyone got any thoughts on why this might be and if there is a solution. I have put brackets around the entire calculation, but it doesn't seem to make any difference, it still bases its selection on the first measure it finds in the calculation.

    Just curious - do you have multiple "pages" of information - like maybe a time dimension in the paging prompt? I've found numerous issues where, if you have multiple "pages" of info, selection steps completely ignore what page you are on and returns results for the whole set....which is exactly not what any of my end users expect to happen....

  • Which case in LV Oper. Intf. will do "Run Selected Steps using single pass" for me?

    I added a button to simulate "Run Selected Steps", but I really want a button that will "Run Selected Steps Using Single Pass". Which case in the Complex Labview Operator Interface does this for me? What I really want is the report to be generated which happens when I use "Run Selected Steps Using Single Pass" but no report when I select "Run Selected Steps".
    Thanks!

    I figured out how to make this work.  Instead of calling the Sequence File View Manager ConnectCommand method using the Run Selected Steps button and the CommandKind_RunSelectedSteps command kind, you use the CommandKind_RunSelectedStepsUsingEntryPoints_Set command kind.  The tricky part is that before you can use the ConnectCommand method with the CommandKind_RunSelectedStepsUsingEntryPoints_Set command kind, you have to create a set of new commands.  Do this by first invoking the Application Manager method NewCommands.  This method returns an empty set of commands.  You must then add a new command to that set.  Do this by invoking the InsertKind method on the empty set of commands using CommandKind_RunEntryPointOnSelectedSteps for cmdKind, Sequence File View Manager for managerControl, -1 for insertBefore, and empty strings for currentMenuName and allMenuNames parameters.  Once you have made these calls, then you can call the Sequence File View Manager ConnectCommand method using the CommandKind_RunSelectedStepsUsingEntryPoints_Set command kind.
    The previous instructions work just the same for the Loop On Selected Steps button.  Just substitute the CommandKind_RunEntryPointOnSelectedSteps and CommandKind_RunSelectedStepsUsingEntryPoints_Set command kind constants with CommandKind_LoopEntryPointOnSelectedSteps and CommandKind_LoopOnSelectedStepsUsingEntryPoints_Set command kinds (and of course use the Loop On Selected Steps button reference instead of the Run on Selected Steps button reference when invoking the ConnectCommand method).
    There is one mystery with this solution that I haven't figured out yet, besides the fact that it is so laborious and non-intuitive to me (but at least it works).  Nowhere in any of the calls detailed above did I ever see a parameter to specify which execution entry point to use.  I am using the default sequential model entry points Test UUTs and Single Pass.  Typically you specify which entry point you want to use (such as when invoking the ConnectCommand method) in the form of an index to a set of entry points where the Test UUTs entry point corresponds to a set index of 0 and Single Pass corresponds to a set index of 1.  How did the previous calls determine which entry point to use when I didn't specify anywhere which one to use?  Do this just work because you can only run or loop on selected steps using no process model or the Single Pass entry point?

  • I have iMovie '11, and I am unable to access mpeg HD video files that I want to edit.  The files are fine (I can open and watch them using VLC), but I cannot seem to import the files into iMovie. File Import does not work.  Any suggestions??

    More detail: I have a bunch of mpeg HD video files that were shot on a SONY HDR-HC3 Handycam camcorder.  I would like to edit these into a single video production.  I can access and view the mpeg files using VLC (Quicktime does not work with them).  However, I seem to be unable to get the mpeg files to interface with iMovie '11 -- I cannot use the File --> Import command, nor can I drag-and-drop them into iMovie.
    Is there something anyone might suggest to get this to work?  Or are these files incompatible with iMovie?  If so, I assume I must purchase a different video editing software program (e.g. Adobe Premeir Pro).  Suggestions???
    Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration

      Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time  from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each. 
        To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation?  Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet. 
        Thanks

    Hi Nealeh
    Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
    Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
    Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
    Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
    The scenario is:-  say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
    Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
    So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
    Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
    She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
    Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
    If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
    Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the
    "Join Adobe Community" adobe sign in splash screen! with he little whell spinning around continuously!!!
    I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
    So technology is not my friend today!

  • I cannot get past the password screen on my old laptop - I'm entering the password I always used and it is not working

    I am trying to log on to an old laptop and I cannot get past the password screen - I'm using the password I always used and it is not working.  Even the clue doesn't help.  Is there anything I can do.  The last time it was turned on the apple staff transferred data to my new laptop.  Help

    If the old Macbook(?) has Snow Leopard 10.6 installed, and you have that retail install disc or the system disc of the current (base level) system on it, you could use the installer disc as a boot volume and use the utilities on the booted install disc to reset the password. It should be a menu option in the booted Install disc, way short of any effort to re-install anything. And if your computer can do this, the same DVD has Disk Utility, to check/repair the Mac HDD.
    What OS X version do you have, & what MacBook, etc is that?
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • HT203421 Since installing Yosemite 10.10 the Apps Store application on my iMac does not work

    installing Yosemite 10.10 the Apps Store application on my iMac does not work properly. Applications show up in the App Store window to be updated but in fact most of them do not download and install. Some 3rd party software does download and install but most Apple and HP Applications do not. They appear in some cases in both the Ready to update or install list and in the "Installed in the last 30 days list". In some cases when I click on "Update" it shows in the "Installed in the Last 30 Days list" but it is not installed.  In the case of the latest Yosemite 10.10.3 beta down load, it momentarily show up like it is downloading but then disappears and does not install.

    I am now using Yosemite 10.10.2 and am trying to install the beta Download Yosemite 10.10.3 hoping it will resolve my problem but starts to download from the App Store snd then quits.

  • In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight- does not work

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
    OS Yosemite,
    Finder versión 10.10.1
    Mail Versión 8.1 (1993)
    In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight… does not work. Messages or documents with the search criteria are there and one could find them manually, but the search function fails to find them. Following advice from Apple Support (728965377):
    1. I applied an Apple protocol for adware removal (Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac); I had none, because I had formally utilized a similar protocol that I had found in Internet, actually an app that implemented automatically Apple's adware removal protocol.
    2. I rebuild the post boxes in Mail (Mail (Yosemite): Reconstruir buzones); It took a while but it functioned properly
    3. I re-install the System (OS X Yosemite: Reinstalar OS X); It took about 4 hours but there was no problem whatsoever with the installation.
    Afterwards I searched for messages in Mail, and documents in Finder and Spotlight, without any difficulty. The search function in all of them was working properly. But the next time that I needed to search messages or documents, an hour later or so, the problem reappear and a couple of new issues occurred:
    1. in app RagTime 6.5.2 (Build 1821), www.ragtime.de, the menu bar disappears (it is invisible), when one performs certain operations, e. g., calculating a value with a formula, whether it is in a spreadsheet or some other component (text, drawing, etc.). After touching with the cursor the menu bar is visible again.
    2. after reading an e-mail in Mail or copying an address, this is seeing as a floating object in the finder and over every application. There is no logical way to get rid of the floating object and neither copying or deleting or cutting it. It is not a big issue but nonetheless bothersome.
    3. In Mail, messages with Flag or in VIP contacts cannot be seen in the appropriate folders, only in the Incoming mail folder, together with other messages. It seems to me, this issue is part of same search function problem.
    4. The preview function within Mail does not show the attached documents to a message, whether it is in the IN, OUT or Draft boxes.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try again to re-index Spotlight. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
