Need to access TestStand Sequence Step Parameters from Excel Macro

Trying to create an EXCEL spreadsheet containing a list of all steps in a TestStand Sequence including Parameter names and types. How can I access the parameter names and types from EXCEL Visual Basic? It seems the API provides access to sequence parameters, but not step parameters.

mmghost,
Unfortunately, in TestStand 2.0, it is not possible to access the step parameter information.
In TestStand 3.0, there are a few more APIs exposed that give you access to the step parameters. In TestStand 3.0, these are the steps you would take to get that information:
1) Get a hold of the step object of interest. There are many ways to do this. For instance, starting with the Sequence Context you can get the Sequence object, and then get a step object from the sequence.
2) From the Step object, get the Module object.
3) At this point, you need to cast the Module object to the specific adapater type module you are using. For this example, we will assume that we are using the CVI adapter, so we would cast the Module object to a CVIModule o
bject.
4) The CVIModule object contains a Parameters collection of type CVIParameters, which contains the type information.
For different adapter types you would just cast the Module object to a different specific module (LabVIEWModule, ActiveXModule, etc).

Passing parameters from Excel to SQL stored proc. to analyse resultset in PowerPivot

Hi,
Not sure if I posted this question at the right forum ...
I would like to implement the following scenario:
- Enter parameters @startdate and @enddate in cells in an Excel worksheet (i.e. cell A2 has the value for the startdate parameter; cell B2 has the value for the endate parameter).
- Pass these parameters to a SQL stored procedure (using MSQuery?). See below.
- Calling stored procedure in PowerPivot to get the resultset in PowerPivot.
The SP calls some functions in SQL Server. See below.
I have read several posts on several forums but I can't get the parameters from Excel (MSQuery?) to the SP.
What's the best way to have PowerPivot picking up the resultset from the SP?
How do I get the Excel cells A2 and B2 to the SP below?
SP:

Hi，
According to your description, I think you want to call a store procedure in PowerPivot with the parameters which are stored in the cells of an Excel workbook.
Are you using the PowerPivot add-in in Excel or PowerPivot in SQL Server?
This forum is to discuss problems of Office development such as VBA, VSTO, Apps for Office .etc. If you are using Excel PowerPivot, since it is an add-in for Excel and it doesn't publish API for us, we cannot automatically call a stored procedure in Excel.
We can get the data from Cells A2 and B2 with code, but it's hard to set it as the parameters of a SP when calling it from PowerPivot. About calling a SP from Excel manually, you could post in
Excel IT pro forum for more effective responses.
If you are using PowerPivot in SQL Server, I'm afraid your issue is more related to the feature of PowerPivot. We can get data from SQL Server database into Excel workbook, but I'm not sure whether we can get data from Excel cells in SQL Server. So I suggest
you posting in
SQL Server PowerPivot forum for more effective responses.

How to access TestStand Event and variables from external application?

Hi all
The test system was built by TestStand, now there is a new requirement to filter the test report without change the sequence file. The task must be done without any impact to previous software system, so I decide to write a tool by VC++.
My idea is to deal with the reports after every UUT loop, but I need to monitor the UUT loop status by VC++, if an unit is tested, pass or fail, raise a event and pass to VC++ application. In a word, I would like to access TestStand internal event and variables.
Anyone has ideal on this case? ActiveX or something.
thanks .

paulbin,
While sharing variables via COM or DCOM is certaintly possible, I don't think you need to go down that route. I think that there is probably an easier way to limit your report. In your Configuration menu, under the Report Options item, there is a field at the top that will allow you to filter what steps go into your report.
This will not affect any sequence file you may have already created, all it does is change a few options in the ReportOptions.ini file in the <TestStand>\cfg directory.
This is a much simpler option than trying to write a program to interface with a running TestStand engine.

Actually scripts run fine with excel file, currently we are using user-id to pick to update AD. Now we want to update AD use employee id. You can say to identify the record in AD through employee ID instead of user-id.
I do not think you will get anyone here to fix that for you. You need to find someone who knows PowerShell to help you or learn PowerShell your self.
I would fix it for you but not for free. It is too oddly designed and has too many dependencies. Any small change is likely to break it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Modify TestStand Step parameters from LabVIEW in runtime

Hi all,
I try to change parameter values of a TestStand step in LabVIEW. When I return from the modifying vi (Learn Barcode Template), the following happens:
1. I watch RunState.SequenceFile.Data..., I see the changed parameter
2. I watch RunState.Sequence.Main..., which is basically the same target as mentioned above, but here the parameters are unchanged.
3. I need the changed parameters in the Read Barcode.vi. This vi returns an error, because the parameters are unchanged.
4. When I restart the sequence, and halt at the first step, and watch again both parameters (the sam parameters but different path), the changed values appear.
Is there a method, which enables to refresh the changed parameters immediately? I tried for example IncChangeCount, but it just marks the sequence as changed. In the learn Barcode Template.vi I open and close the references properly.
regards
MB

Hi,
the parameters will be tranfered when the code module execution is finished. I don't understand what exactly you're changing inside your VI, possibly you can post the VI for getting some more information.
When you change your parameters inside the file you're calling in the first step, it's normal that the parameter in TestStand first will be refreshed when you execute the sequence once again in my understanding.
When you use the ActiveX API inside the LV VI and want to change values in TestStand, you can use variables. Parameters will be transfered when calling the code module or returning from the code module.
Another point is the interactive execution, is there a special reason why you execute without a process model? Possibly there could be changes in the runstate property object also...

Time Capsule: Need help accessing my video surveillance DVR from the Internet.

I am using the latest 4th Generation Time Capsule attached to a DSL Modem. My 4 video Survilance DVR is connected to a switch then to the Time Capsule. How or what is needed to be able to access the DVR via the internet. I am able to access the DVR from within the home network only. Would appreciate some guidance.
Thanks in advance.

Is the modem bridged?
If not and working in router mode then the TC should be bridged.. this will never work if you have double NAT.
Whichever box is the main router will need to forward the required ports for the camera dvr.. does the software use port 80 ie html?? That means you just forward port 80 to the IP address of the dvr. But find out the port.. the dvr instructions should tell you. Port forwarding on the TC.. ain't hard.. just google for the instructions. If the dsl modem is router, read its manual.
You will need to lock the ip of the dvr so it doesn't shift. Do that in the router if possible but I am not sure you can on the TC. You will need to do it on the device using a static ip.
The other thing is public IP .. do you have a static public address.. if not you will need to run dyndns. this is not available in the TC.. as most things are not available. So you will also need to check the dvr remote access instructions as it might have a dyndns client.. or you will have to use dsl modem as router even if you currently bridge it.
Sorry this is making it complicated.
Give some feedback and we can go from there.
What is the main router?
What modem is it exactly?
What make and model is the DVR? A URL to the pdf manual will help if it gets complicated.
What port do you use to access the DVR?
Is there a dyndns client in the dvr?

Need sysdba access to edit initialization parameters

When I log into enterprise manager, go to database, then initialization parameters..
it says 'You are not logged on with sysdba privilege'
my preferences - credentials has sys and password in the sysdba fields..
what needs to be done

What you need to do is logout, and log back in with a user that has sysdba privileges.
After you click on Logout, you will see the options:
- Log out of Database: database_name
- Display database login page after logout
Use this option to reconnect to the database as a different user
Log out of Enterprise Manager and all other targets
(Logged in As YOURUSER)
Select - Log out of Database and Display database login page after logout.
You will then get the option to connect as sysdba. Change Connect as "Normal" to SYSDBA.

Need to access/connect Remote Unix server from Java

Please any one give me a direct solution for connecting a remote Unix server through telnet connection from java application. Thanks in advance..

If I run the below program codes, in the console it is asking to enter username and password in manual but I need to give it automatically.
The highlighted "root" is entered by the user manually using keyboard.
Expected:
I mean the username, password and some action is set to be automatic, so that it should not ask the user to enter the input from keyboard.

Printing to Adobe PDF repeatedly from Excel macro causes Adobe PDF to ignore preferences

I have an Excel macro that uses Acrobat's virtual "Adobe PDF" printer to save each sheet of an Excel spreadsheet to a separate PDF file. To do this, I have set up the PDF printer to save automatically to the folder C:\PDF without prompting and not to open each PDF file after it is created. These preferences are respected when the macro prints the first sheet, but when it prints the second and third sheets, the PDF printer starts displaying its "Save As" dialog again and opening each PDF file after it is created. When I go back to the printer preferences after the macro finishes, the preferences that I set are still there, and if I run the macro again I get exactly the same behavior. This behavior is problematic because the macro expects each PDF file to be saved to a predictable location so that it can rename them. Side note: this print-then-rename technique works fine when I use the open source PDFCreator program instead of Acrobat. (Hello, Adobe?)

Use the settings in the Acrobat Distiller API Reference. You can find this document in the Acrobat SDK.
