Test Bench Scripting Language

Hi,
I am an intern at a company which is wanting me to create a scripting language and compiler that would be capable of controlling several instruments on their test bench through GPIB, as well as use the PXI-7833R to communicate to one of their devices over SPI. I would consider myself an intermediate LabVIEW user that has never really worked with any type of VI which involved parsing scripts or the like.
Is there any application other than LabVIEW that would be more suited for this type of application. I plan to have to use several dll's written in C++ to make things easier on myself, but I wasn't sure if I was trying to re-invent the wheel here or if there was something like this that had already been done that I could refer to.
Any help that anyone can give on this subject would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Thank you all for responding so quickly, all of your help is very appreciated. I will have to go through many of these languages to determine which option is going to be the best suited solution for this. Other than TestStand and Python I really have not heard of any of the others.
I have brought up the idea of using TestStand to the team that is going to be primarily using this application and they have said that many of them have no experience at all with LabVIEW and don't really feel comfortable with the idea of using something like that to do this. They all say that they would feel much more at home with a text based language that they can all pick up on easily. Which, obviously creates more work for me because I have to be able to document all of this so that it is easily to manipulate by others...
I am looking into the LuaVIEW interface right now, I will definitely look into all of the others later and let you all know how things are progressing. If anyone else has any other ideas for ways to make this easier I would greatly greatly appreciate it.
I have one more question which I will really just need once I get the parsing done. As I said in my first post I will be using an FPGA for communicating with a device that will be constantly relaying information back from an A/D. In order to conserve space on the FPGA I am thinking of somehow parsing the code in a way that the commands that only concern the GPIB instruments will be run from the host VI and the code for communcating with the device will be loaded onto the FPGA Target VI. Does this sound like the best way to go about this and do you have any ideas for how to do the separation?
Thank you,
Tyler

SAP Scripting Languages on the SDN Day - Amsterdam

I would like to give a short summary of what happened on the SDN Day in Amsterdam, the 17-th Oct. 2006.
After the breakfast Craig Cmehil gave us a welcome to the event and presented the schedule. We started with a power networking session: Four 20-minute Sessions with Six SDNers per Table. As I was sitting at the Scripting Languages table, I would like to share some impressions of the atmosphere there. We talked much about the emmerging SAP Scripting Tool and how much value it will bring to all scripting projects that plan to utilize SAP backend systems. We discussed Gregor Wolf's contest and he was so kind to inform us that his test system is also available inside the SAP corporate network, so all SAP employees now can participate too. Gregor works for Siteco Beleuchtungstechnik GmbH and the award they offer for the contest is a Siteco Vistosa task light. More information about the contest can be found at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4588. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] Another key discussion was held with Björn Schotte, the chief editor of PHP Magazine, Germany, presenting also his company Mayflower Gmbh. He shared some visions on business applications of PHP and stated that PHP is definitely enterprise ready.
Then after a very short pause we started the SDN breakout sessions (3-5 in parallel). I visited the sessions of Gregor Wolf, André Labahn, Björn Schotte and after this I cooperated for the breakout session of Frank Mittag.
Session 1:
Connecting Typo3 to R/3 Enterprise via Web Services with Gregor Wolf from Siteco Beleuchtungstechnik GmbH
Siteco Beleuchtungstechnik GmbH currently implements a customer service centre into it's Typo3 based website. Typo3 is an Open Source Web Content Management system based on the Scripting Language PHP. The application will allow Siteco's customers to directly check price & availability of products from the backend R/3 Enterprise system, quotations, orders and delivery status. The backend connectivity uses Web Services utilise the PEAR SOAP Package.
Session 2:
SAP supports Scripting Languages with Andre Labahn from SAP.
This session will provide you with more insights on how SAP is supporting scripting languages.
Session 3:
Scripting Languages PHP and Enterprise Software with Björn Schotte (Chief Editor from PHP Magazine).
This session showed us a brief history of PHP and PHP in Germany. Some enterprise applications of PHP were discussed. Björn Schotte was the opinion that PHP is definitely enterprise ready and he proved it with an example of a system that his company has created for Siemens.
Session 4:
Scripting Languages Tool with Frank Mittag and Vasil Bachvarov (me) from SAP
SAP will provide a open source tool to the scripting development community that is supporting the access to SAP Backend Systems via RFC/BAPIs and Webservices. See the concept and demo of the tool and discuss this with SAP Development.
There was a pretty interesting discussion about the tool. Since the time for the last session shrinked with some minutes we had to be very quick, but Frank Mittag did a great job and succeeded to explain the basic concept of the SAP Scripting Tool and show it in action for the tough time constraint.
There were a lot of questions from the audience but it was already 18:30 and we stopped at this point. There would be a second chance for questions on thursday when Frank had the opportunity to make a more complete and comprehensive walk-through of the project.
Then we gathered in the meeting hall and Shai Agassi held a speech and made a summary of the event.
The evening finished in the BoomChicago theater where everybody received a delicious meal, drinks and a great amount of fun with the ChicagoBoom comic crew.
I would like to thank all people that made this event come true! See you soon in Bangalore.
Best Regards,
Vasil Bachvarov

I'm be there in Amsterdam as well. In fact I am leaving the US on Sunday and arriving early Monday morning in Amsterdam.
I was planning to do a little site seeing on Monday Afternoon. If anyone else is arriving a bit early as well, they are welcome to join me. It is always more fun to site see in groups. My email address is public in my SDN business card (also not too difficult to figure out ) if anyone is interested in meeting up.

How to edit "Station ID" to "Test Bench ID" name in HTML Report (TestStand 4.2)...?

Hi Folks,
I have regular HTML report from TestStand 4.2; particularly i want to change the header from "Station ID" name to "Test Bench ID" name.
Can anyone help me on this...?
Thanks for your help...!!!
SB_LV

Here are just 3 options:
1- Probably the easiest and best option. Open this file: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 4.2\Components\Language\English\ModelStrings.ini. Search for RPT_HEADER_STATION_ID. Replace the Station ID in the quotes with Test Bench ID:. The ModelStrings.ini is a resource strings file that contains a bunch of basically "global values" that TS references.
2- If you don't want to change your resource strings then open this sequence file: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 4.2\Components\Models\TestStandModels\reportgen_html.seq. Open the sequence in there titled- AddReportHeader. Find the step named- Add Station ID. It should be a statement step. In the Expression replace ResStr("MODEL", "RPT_HEADER_STATION_ID") with "Test Bench ID:". This directly edits your process model and every sequence ran on the machine will see the change.
3- Add the Modify Report Header callback to your sequence file. In there you will have ot search the Parameters.ReportHeader string for Station ID: and replace it with Test Bench ID. This will not affect the process model.
Hope that helps,

New java-like scripting language w/ powerful regex

Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that there's now a new scripting language called P~ with the following important aspects:
1) matches and exceeds Perl regex solveability -- e.g. offers full regex-based boolean query on non-indexed corpus, offers completely general side-effects, more accurate than Perl code assertions
2) basic grammar is very Java like
3) regex grammar is algebraic, not metacharacter-based, leads to more readable and maintainable solutions to hard problems
4) offers an easy tool to debug matching behavior of your regexes (rules)
5) though a full featured scripting language, you can write scriptlets and call them from Java classes, with arguments. Allows you to use your regex solutions in Java applications.
6) the language is offered as a Java library, as well as a standalone application that runs the library. This means that your scripts can import java classes available in the classpath, you can leverage existing Java libraries.
Check out the website and try it out: http://ptilde.pbwiki.com
Andy

True to an extent. We don't yet have lookaround assertions and won't have backreferencing any time soon. But there are same-time assertions which offer much of the same, and allow for boolean query.
More accurate general statement insertion side-effects (than Perl code assertions) means that your statements are executed if and only they wrap a subpattern that is part of the ultimate best match -- Perl code assertions execute when the automata encounters them, even if where they are in the regex is ultimately not part of the match, or even if there is no match at all. This aspect is a huge part of the solveability advantage.
As to the regex test cases, there are about 1000, and we will post them soon.

Scripting Languages Tool Preview

Ok, this new thread is for posting about the Scripting Languages Tool Preview. Any comments, thoughts, ideas, contributions?
Greetings,
Blag.

John: as Frank said, we'd love to see generators for other languages - like JavaScript - in future. But we don't want to create them all alone. So here's the deal: we create the framework and some generators for the most widely-used languages and you cool guys on SDN build on that and create other generators, other viewers, anything you think is useful. And for all questions or problems we (SAP Scripting Team) will offer all the help we can. I'm very looking forward to see what will evolve from this
This works two-way. It's you who have year-long experience in all kind of scripting languages - combined it's much more knowledge than we can have. So when I face a scripting problem during generator-creation I'll just ask for your help here
Piers: no, it did not arrive. Please send again. I checked my profile and the mail-address was just not set to 'visible'. Your's isn't, too
About the 'integration': it is a clear goal to let it work inside other frameworks (Eclipse-based). As we do not have or use all of these I can just assume that it'll work just fine using the standard Eclipse mechanisms. Scripting in a Box is definitely a good candidate for this, and I myself use it for testing both tool integration and generated scripts.
Bundling - we thought about this, but there might be legal issues, so we have to wait for an official approval. Meanwhile it's not that complicated just getting SiaB and installing the tool afterwards

Scripting Languages are for Insane People!!!!

Hope you brought your flamethrowers because I am feeling a bit chilled.
Sooo I am knee deep in some heavy javascript(Nodejs) and while fighting to populate an array with the results of a sqlite query
(somehow my array is getting nuked nodejs or nodejs-sqlite3 bug? )
I am left scratching my head saying to my self WTF!! This would have taken me like 5 sec in Qt C++. So I wrote up the same example
in Ruby, Python, Java, Lua and Perl. And in every case my Qt C++ example was not only cleaner, shorter but easier to write/understand.
Granted scripting languages are not only valuable but necessary in CERTAIN cases, but the way people use them today is just INSANE.
My primary scripting language is javascript but that is only because my work requires it. But ill take lua over any scripting language any day.
I am going to go sink my teeth in Django see if that pisses me off any less!
Sooo whats your opinion.

Looking for a more universal scripting language than AppleScript or Automator

I want to learn a cross-platform/web scripting language to automate tasks, write scripts and with the potential to create programs and web apps.
I am looking for something that:
- is not a program with a GUI like Automator, iKey, Quickeys, Maestro...
- is more "universal" than Applescript, cross-platform
- can be used to automate simple tasks in a simple way
- can also be used to create more complex scripts, web apps and maybe, eventually, programs (with GUI)
I've read about Javascript, Python, Ruby, PHP, Perl, C+, C++, Java and others, but I really don't know.
- Java sounds pretty cool, Python too.
- I'm not crazy about PHP or Perl, with Javascript, but some people swear by it
- I don't know anything about C+, C++
Does anyone have any suggestion(s)? Please let me know if you need any more details. Thank you.

C, C++, Objective-C are nor scripting languages and will not help you do web pages. (Don;t know what C+ is).
Forget Java it has lots of security problems and more and more users are disabling Java in their web browsers because of this. Developing in Java would be, in my opinion, a mistake.
If you are doing any web works at all you will need to know some Javascript, no way around that. But Javascript is actually not a bad language
Note Java and Javascript are two totally separate languages that have nothing in common but the first 4 letters of their names.
So you are left with PHP, Perl, Python and Ruby.
Dismissing PHP and Perl out of hand is a big mistake, They are both major players and you will run into them just about everywhere. If you are looking to do this for possible employment you will need to be familiar with them at least.
Python and Ruby are both strong languages as well. I don't have a lot of experience with either so I can;t speak to their strengths but learnign either would not be a mistake.
Knowing what your reasons are for asking this, personal use or for employment, might help refine the list some.

How to create a scripting language in java?

Hello,
All that I want to do is to create a scripting language in java. I�m familiar with javacc, jsr223 and other things but don�t know how to start. The language syntax is java 5 syntax with some change and I want to generate java source code from small scripts. In fact I don�t know how other languages (like groovy) are created.
I hope you can show me the required steps.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks.

That's all, huh?
For a start, generally when I hear "scripting language" I'm thinking interpretter, not a system which creates compiled (or compilable) code.
I get the impression that what you're talking about is what I'd call a "preprocessor" language, some extra syntax added to java which the preprocessor renders into ordinary java.
As far as complexity is concerned, much depends on how deeply involved the extra syntax is with the embedded ordinary Java. Does you preprocessor need to understand the java, or is it just embedded as text? How easilly identified are your preprocesor statments? It's a lot easier to do this if preprocessor lines are instantly identifiable from Java code (e.g. start with a #).
Basically the stages are always the same;
1) Lexical analysis i.e. picking out words, operators, numbers, quoted strings.
2) Construct a syntax tree.
3) Generate code (in this case Java).
Now, in this case, some of the nodes in the syntax tree may simply be chunks of undigested Java.

How to freeze or make an application hang to test a script?

  I like to test this script
tell application "System Events" to set theApps to name of processes whose background only is false
repeat with oneApp in theApps
set pState to do shell script "/bin/ps -arxo state,comm | /usr/bin/grep " & oneApp & " | /usr/bin/cut -c 1"
if pState contains "Z" then -- if the application hangs, kill it
tell application "System Events" to set pid to the unix id of process appname as Unicode text
do shell script "/bin/kill " & pid
end if
-- delay 5 -- security delay
try
do shell script "open -a /Applications/Restart.app"
end try
end repeat
It is supposed to run from time to time on my server checking if a programme is hanging and if so quitting it and restarting it.
So does anybody know how one can get a programme to hang or crash? Did several experiments with Text Edit, but could not get it to crash. Interesting question though, as we are mostly concerned about crashes not happening.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.    Thanks

orangekay thanks
I tried that but did not work (might be my lack of skill), or might have done it wrong though, any suggestions as to how?

About about scripting language

I'm looking to getting some training on scripting language to use on SCCM. Any advise which I should focus on? VBscript or Powershell. I need to create Configuration Baselines and most of the examples I've seen uses scripting.
Also can anyone suggest a good resource for training on Report Builder. Thanks.

would recommended to go with Powershell as it automates lot of things using builtin configmgr commands
here you go with built-in Powershell commands in configmgr http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj850100(v=sc.20).aspx

Details about Script language for "Replacement" in email templates

Dear All,
I am using Send Notification callable object for sending emails. And I have designed a template for the same.
Now I know that while using Replacements I can't display context attributes of type "LIST".
So is there any way to achieve this??? Can I make use loop statement in script language of Replacement??
Can anybody tell me where do I find the sample usage of script language?

Scripting Language Options for the Script Task Options SSIS 2012

Can python or perl be used as a script language in the drag and drop script task? I believe only VB.Net and C# are, but I see under SSDT Tools -> Options there are some choices for Python Debugging? I'd like to use python as my SSIS scripting language
in some cases. If it can not be used as the script task language, what are the Python options under Tools -> Options for?
Any experts out there who can illuminate?
Thanks all

Hello,
In SSDT in a SSIS Script task you can only use Visual Basic.NET and C#, no other programming / scripting languages.
SSDST is a plugin for Visual Studio and in VS you will find several options which are irrelevant for SSIS projects, like this Phyton debugging option.

Anyone know what this code might be responsible for?

I have seen this sometimes used to prevent the user being asked if they want to close the window when a javascript command to close the window is issued. Not sure it always works with different browsers or versions.

In post script language level 3 files text data is converted to hexadesimal format and kept in between xshow commands. But in postscript language level 2 files, text data is converted to some other format.
Can you please inform me, to which format text data is converted.

Using context variable in formcalc scripting language.

Hi all,
I wanted to know if it is possible to use context variables in formcalc. I wanted to use those variables in "if else" condition in formcalc scripting language. Please post the sample code also as i am new to adobe forms.
Regards,
Vinod

Hi ,
Each variable define in the context can be used on the layout of the form and/or in script linked to fields.
This can be done in formcalc or in javascript language , without any problem . You have only to acess the correct variable in the script.
For getting variable in a script you must define the complete name of the variable, example "Myform.Header.Data.Myvariable" get access to variable MyVariable define in the context under nodes Header/Data .
Hope it's help you
regards.
