Programatically update the Report Option dialog in NI Test Stand 4.2.1

Hello,
I would like to know, what is the procedure to modify Customise the Report Option dialog window with custom default value before displaying the window to user.
We are writing our own process model to customise report options, Database option and User Management module of Test Stand. I am unable to update the Dialog window with modified settings.
Please help me.
I followed the instructions mentioned in link http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/Programmatically-change-station-option-in-TestStand-2-0-1/td-p/...
But this is customization for the single sequence and also this is not updating the Report Options Dialog window. Please find the screenshot which i want to customize.
Solved!

Hi
The screenshoot you have posted is done my CVI- modelsupport2.dll with funcion DisplayReportOptionsDialogEx.
in side is code there is ReadReportOptionDefaultsEx (this function will be also used in model sequence "Get Report Options")
it will read "TestStandModelReportOptions.ini" .
So there were 2 solutions.
1. ) Changing ReadReportOptionDefaultsEx (Not recommend because changing stuff from NI is bad, by chaninging you are in charge off)
2.) Just change the ini File for your needs.
Hope this helps

The report options under "configure" and CSV or xls.

The report options under “configure” does not give .csv or xls as options. Instead of using vi to pass data to database, is there a simple way to transfer all the results (just like the way in the report that automatically generated) to .csv or xls...
Thanks.

Hi,
in order to modify the report generation, you have to understand the way how TestStand works in regard of the report generation.
There is a tutorial which explains this which you can find here. But please note that the tutorial is currently undergoing an improvement process.
The reason that the report options don't give you the option for xls or csv as report is:
Neither xls nor csv are predefined. So for example measurement values in xls can be placed in a special worksheet or included in a main sheet in a certain column.
hope this helps,

How can I programatically control the names of files output from Labview into .pdf format (ie with Adobe PDF Writer or Distiller)?

I would like to save some data forms for a standard test controlled with labview in a pdf format. Due to the large number of forms and test reports, I would like to have Labview automatically assign the .pdf file name based on test number already contained in the labview code. How can I do this.
Note: This question is very similar to:
"Labview and Adobe Acrobat output" posted by John Balone on 1/26/2000. The reponses offered good suggestions but it is not clear to me how to implement them.

This information is essential if you plan to use the Acrobat Distiller printer driver and any of the examples listed here:

Programatically updating a cluster in a cluster

I have a cluster that contains several arrays and a cluster of controls. I am trying to create a method for a user to select one of the controls in the inner cluster and update the value. I am trying to populate a ring control with a list of the control names to allow selection of the desired control. The select param sub VI allows selection of the arrays or cluster, but when I use this index to select the reference for the cluster, the following property node doesn't offer the choice of selecting the controls[] property for the cluster. Is this possible?

You might want to look at the vcluster library from the "OpenG LabVIEW data tools". That allows dealing with cluster elements by name.
If you don't have OpenG here are some installation instructions.

Things can get complicated if you need to handle multiple data types, and more than one level in the hierarchy.
The variant probe on lavag is a good example of a very generalized read only version, but it requires LV 8.5.
I attached a quick prototype that should open on LV 8+ with the openg library. Be aware it's lacking error checking.
Instead of a menu ring I would use a multicolumn listbox with the name in the first column and the value in the second, to make it easier to see what the current values are. If you wanted to get extra fancy you could try to use Type Sensitive Popups from lavag.

Update the Player Flash CS5 Uses (In Test Movie)

So Flash CS5 came with a beta version of Flash Player 10.1.
Now that the official release of Flash Player 10.1 is released, how do I update what Flash CS5 uses when I Test Movie?
I have so far updated the Flash Player in my browser and my standalone players but I can't seem to figure out how to update the Player that Flash CS5 uses.
This wouldn't be so bad if the beta of 10.1 wasn't breaking my project because of bugs.
Any help appreciated.

More bumps, there has to be a way to do this. Adobe wouldn't cement in a beta verison of Flash Player into Flash CS5 would they?

Can I open the (.squ) sequence files using NI test stand 4.0 version?

I have the sequence files created using ATETool Kit test Executive. But I have NI 4.0 test stand. I want to open the sequence files using NI 4.0 test stand. Can i do that?

Hi,
I am not familiar with ATETool kit Test Executive, but I doubt NI TestStand will open this. As you have both, have you tried it?
TestStand does have a conversion tool for converting NI TestExecutive sequence files into TestStand sequence files.
Maybe you could write a conversion tool to make the conversion for you if you have many ATETool kit Test Executive files.

How to change podcast settings in the Application options dialog

I have attempted to subscribe to an RSS feed for a podcast - URL is http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/kingsmill/rss/podcast.xml
I am being prompted to join using live bookmarks. As i use Google reader, there is no option available to change it to google. Hitting the dropdown arrow, my choices are live bookmarks or Microsoft Outlook - or browse for application. How do i change / remove the applications entry for RSS so i can start over and select Google as a default
The Options / Application / Podcast - has the RSS logo - says "preview in firefox"

Apple does not make what you are asking straightforward for a reason: the user usually sets the system language to the one they prefer anyway.
If you think you have a good reason for setting the language in the application itself, I would suggest using the pathForResource:ofType:inDirectory:forLocalization: method of the main bundle to get the applicable strings file and then deserialize it into a dictionary as if it were a plist (strings files actually are).

Dual Y axis tab on the Chart Options dialog box

Post Author: training2go
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Hello,
I see this tab (on the version of Crystal in Visual Studio 2005), but I can't access it, so I'm wondering what type of chart it applies to. I've created each type of chart that's available, but this tab is always grayed out, so I'm guessing that I'm missing something. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You're right, it has been that way for a long time. I've never bothered reporting it as a bug since it's simple enough to deal with, but reporting it would be a reasonable thing to do.

Is there a way to programatically call the LabVIEW "find" function?

Hi,
My situation is this. I've inherited a LabVIEW program with about 375 vi's. Now when I build this into an executable, for memory reasons, I only want the "remove panel" feature set to no for vi's that are dynamically loaded. But I don't know exactly which vi's are dynamically laoded. But if I have all of the vi's in memory, I can search text for the vi name and if I find it, then that is where the vi is being dynamically loaded. That works okay, but you still have to search for each vi. I would like to run the find command through a for loop with an array of vi names as the indexed input and get some type of reply out. Is this possible or is there a better way to determine w
hich vi's are dynamically loaded? Thanks

Well, that's covered in my suggestion of having a program first build a list
of all VIs in memory, and then start logging from then and only giving you
the VIs opened since the logger started. You load the application into
memory with all statically linked VIs then start the logger. The logger then
notes all the VIs in memory and ignores them. You then start the
application, and the logger notes all the VIs that are loaded in from that
point on, excluding itself, your application and your statically linked VIs.
All my suggestion does is gives you a list of the VIs in memory that you
then use to see if the panel is open using the relevant property node of the
VI- I recall you originally mentioned wanting to just type in an array of VI
names. There's
nothing stopping you doing this instead and having the
program periodically see if a reference can be opened to each VI in the
array and, if so, seeing if the panel is open. It's just that having a
program that does as I describe will save you having to identify and type in
all the names in such an array.

Changes to „Report Options" don't affect output in the way I expect

Changes in the „Report Options“ Window don’t affect report-files in the way I expect. For Example: when I set “Report Format” to “Web Page” the output is a html-file but changes in the “Report Colors”-dialog don’t affect the output. When “Report Format” is set to “ASCII Text File” I get the same file shown in a texteditor – with html-tags and so on (not what I expected). The “Insert Graph”-option doesn’t work, too.
Has anyone an idea what‘s going wrong with my TestStand-installation?
Thanks!

Hi Daniel,
This is most interesting. Something is not working right here. The next thing I would suggest is that you try debugging the model and report generation sequences to see exactly what is going on. Here are some suggestions:
1) Launch the Sequence Editor.
2) Double click on the "Model" text in the status bar, this will open your station model.
3) Place a breakpoint on the "TestReport Callback" step inside of the "Single Pass" sequence.
4) Go to Configure>>Station Options and on the Execution tab select: Trace Into Entry Points option. Close this dialog by clicking OK.
5) Go to Configure>>Report Options and select the Sequence option and modify the other options to what you desire. Be sure to select the HTML report generation however. Close this dialog by clicking OK, not Cancel.
6) Load the sequence file, \Examples\Demo\C\computer.seq.
7) Select Single Pass from the Execute menu.
8) When the execution stops at the breakpoint, select the Context tab and navigate to Locals.ReportOptions. Quickly browse through the properties to make sure they are set to what you changed in the dialog.
9) Swicth back to the Steps tab and click step into.
10) Step over until you get to the "Get Report Body" sequence call, and then click step into.
11) Click on the Context tab and navigate to "RunState.SequenceFile.Path". Check this path. It should be pointing to "\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels\ReportGen_html.seq".
11) Also check the values inside of Parameters.ReportOptions. These should resemble what you have selected on the Report Options dialog.
12) Continue single stepping, and stepping into subsequence calls, until an error is generated. Once the error occurs, select Break on the error dialog, and then examine the step that failed. Check to make sure that all the preconditions are correct and that any properties stated do actually exist.
13) If the step is configured to call a DLL make sure that the DLL it is calling is from the NI directory under \Components. You can do this by bringing up the specify module dialog for the DLL and checking the path.
By the way, the files I sent you are for TestStand 2.0.1f1. Is this your correct version? Please let me know if any of the above steps fail, and exactly what you are seeing. Thanks!

Where is the Report dll code?

The Report options Dialog box includes an option to build the report from a DLL. The help section reads:
If you select the DLL option to generate your report, the TestReport Callback calls a function in a DLL to build the report body. The DLL report generator is a single call into a C-language DLL that processes the entire result list for the execution before returning. You can access the project and source code for the LabWindows/CVI-built DLL. If you select DLL, TestStand generates reports faster but does not call ModifyReportEntry callbacks.
Where is the project for this DLL and what is it called?

Hi
The Report dll code is found in Modelsupport2.dll
The source of this dll can be found under \Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels.
The project name is "modelsupport2.prj"
I hope this helps

How to add Serial Number to the report name?

HI,
I'd like to add the option of including the SN to the report name. A good option will be to automatically set the default base name to the SN.
I'm open to suggestions. Either a simple solution where I'll always get the SN as the base name, or
a more complicated solution where I can really make some modifications to the report option dialog page to include that upon user selection.
Thanks

TS3.5+CVI8.0
p.s. an example, if exist, will be highly useful (and appreciated of course)

That's okay... I can answer here as well...
Under Configure >> Report Option
UNSELECT "Store UUT Report in Batch Report File" first, then select "New UUT Report File for Each UUT"
New UUT Report File for Each UUT—Appends a string containing the current UUT serial number to the base name of the report file. For example, uut_report.html becomes uut_report[SN000001].html. This setting is not available if you select Store UUT Report in Batch Report File.
