Test Stand intermittent error/crash problems

I've been experiencing an intermittent crash problem on TestStand 4.0 for a long time.
Previously, I got customer support on this issue (Reference#7226468)
and they suggested repairing Test Stand to solve the problem. It seemed the repair solved the problem for a while. But after one month w/o crash, I got the same Run-time Error/crash,
with following messages:
“Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Error”,
“Sequence Editor: Operation failed, error code: -17500”,
“Sequence Editor: Can’t get type palette file list; they must be loaded
first, error code: -17500 Oparetion failed, Source: TSAPI”, etc.
How can I solve this issue?Regards,
Pelin Y.

Pelin,
I would recommend trying to repair TestStand
again if it worked the first time, but having to repeatedly do so could
become bothersome. Did you change anything in the code between when it
worked and when you get this error? Do the errors come from the same
step in your execution as the did a month ago? If so what is happening
in your code when you get these errors? Have you seen this same error
on any other machines? Are you calling a C++ DLL and if so what version
of Visual Studio do you have on the machine?

Test Stand Deployment; Internal Error Code 1

Hi,
I get the following message from the deploymeny tool when trying to deploy my system...
Internal error code 1 Processing VIs...
An installer was not created due to an error
I have mass compiled everything and all the VIs are working, my workspace processes okay and the sequences run okay in the Run time Engine adaptor of Test Stand.
Any ideas what could be causing this? I have Test Stand 4.0.0 and labview 8.5.
Many thanks

Test Stand 3.5 install problem

I'm having problems installing Test Stand 3.5 Development Edition on a WinXP SP1 machine - would anyone have any suggestions.
I'm performing a custom install and selecting all components other than "Device Drivers".
The install fails on "NI TestStand 3.5 Support Files. Part 1 of 1" with "Error 1335. The cabinet file 'Cabs.m6' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package".
If I select abort at this point the install of the support files is rolled back and the remaining components apper to install correctly. I can now run Test Stand but am missing the help files. If I rerun setup it attempts to install the support files but fails with the same error.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling & have copied the CD contents to the local hard disk (without any problems) and installing from there. All this is to no avail.
I've also uninstalled and reinstalled an installation on a second machine using the same install media. This install succedded with no issues.

What is the difference between the two machines - where you've had successful and unsuccessful installs?
Like you've said sometimes this is caused by a faulty read from the CD drive, or faulty media, but as you've managed the install with the same media on the machine - then its not the media, and you've already tried the copy to hard disk from the CD without any luck.
What OS is on this other (working) machine?
Do you have administrator privileges on the machine where you can't install the software? Is the .NET framework 1.1 installed (I think this is part of Windows XP SP 2) so this could be the issue - as TestStand requires the .NET framework 1.1
Also - I've attached the readme which includes information to consider before installation - and known issues with the installation - check this and see if any of these could be the issue with this machine.
I hope this helps

Error when closing test stand

when i try to close test stand after i run a test, i got the error in the
attached file.
this error appear only if i dont close the sequence file before i exit test
stand and only after i run a test.
please help me.
advanced thank's.
[Attachment error.jpg, see below]
[See first answer for additional information]

Hello Avi,
The error is caused by TestStand not being able to finish the LoginLogout sequence before its time limit. These limits are set under Configure >> Station Options >> Time Limits. They will allow you to interrupt a sequence that is taking too long to shut down.
The real problem may be in the LoginLogout sequence, in the file \Components\User\Callbacks\FrontEnd\FrontEndCallbacks.seq (or substitute "NI" for "User" in the path). If something in that sequence doesn't finish executing within 10 seconds, due to an extreme slowdown or a problem with the sequence, you will see this error. If you have modified that sequence, this could be the cause. You will need at least two steps in the sequence, one for Login and another for Logout. They should
reference frontend.dll. If you have a modified callback in your User directory, trying copying the default callback from the NI directory.
Also, make sure that you complete or terminate other sequences before trying to close TestStand, or you will see a similar error message.
Good luck and feel free to ask if you have further questions.

Test Stand 2010 Deployment tool Error

Dear All,
Whilst attempting to deploy a Test Stand system I am coming across the following error:
Error: Unable to find all subVIs from saved VIs. Either a subVI is missing or the VI is not saved in the current LabVIEW version.
The call chain to missing VIs:
1 - initialise_resistor_card.vi
2 - pipx40 Initialize.vi (missing)
I have the Teststand Adaptor set to Labview Run-time Engine --> "Auto detect using VI version"
This is a new feature in Test Stand 2010 right? So is the deployment tool also able to inherit the ability to auto detect the version of runtime engine to use on a deployed machine?
Any ideas?
Regards
There is no problem with the VI within the sequence.
I've encountered this before before with the deployment tool and usually mass compilling or opening and closing the VIs heirarchy helps, but in this case I just can't get the deployemnt tool to process these VIs.

Hello,
So it would appear that the VIs giving the problem are within .llb .
If I open and save them again within the .llb and mass compile the .llb then the same happens, but if I take the VI out of the llb then the problem goes away?
Is there any known issues with the Deployment Utility failing to find VIs with llbs? I notice TS 2010 deployment utility introduces the idea of a Packed Project library option rather than the old SupportVIs folder, could using this be the issue?
Regards
Matt

How to solve conflict errors using Test stand 4.1

Hi,
I am using Test stand 4.1. Previoulsy I was using test stand 4.0. When I am trying to open the sequences saved in 4.0 in 4.1 they are giving some conflict errors. So now my problem is if I have a big main sequence in which I have many more child sequences then I was required to open all the sequences that being called in the main sequence save it and close.
One thing I found is that if once I opened and saved all the child sequences present in the main sequence then it will run fine. i.e. once I clear the conflict error with all sequences, this data is stored in the station globals. If change this again I will be required to do the same job.
This is costing me a lot of time.
Please help me in avoiding this conflict error.

NI Labs has a utility that I have used to check for type confilcts. Check it out...

How To Trigger Test Stand To Assign Step = Error

Hi everyone, I have a LabVIEW VI step in my sequence and I have an abort button the user can select to abort the user interface VI. I want the "abort button" boolean to pass back to test stand that abort button = TRUE and I want the sequence step to be set to an "ERROR." Is there a command to send to the Test Stand Engine to flag this step as an error?
Thanks so much!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi
Glad It was helpful.
There are two ways in which you could achive this..
1. Use this expression: RunState.Engine.TerminateAll()
But be wary, this will terminate all the current excutions and the report indicates the status as "terminated"
or
2. Use this expression: RunState.Execution.Terminate()
or
3. You can add a Goto step (comes with teststand. You can find it under Flow Control section of the insertion palette) and select Cleanup as the destination step.
This way you can run some clean up steps before closing the execution. (eg, Shutting down any hardware, etc.,)

Is there a way to create a database with Test Stand?

Anyone know of a way to have Test Stand create a database? My company standard MS Office suite is Microsoft Access 2010, and TestStand does not support the .accmdb extension type(format), so I have to create new databases using old formats. I'm worried about backwards compatability down the road since good ole Microsoft doesn't seem to care about legacy formats.
I'm still a beginner with databasing, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TestStand 2012 SP1, and we are using a modified Generic Recordset (NI). The problem we are having right now is that the Build SQL instructions are not creating the database tables the way we are configuring them from the "Statements" and "Column/Parameters" tabs under Database Options.
What is happening is when we validate the schema, and drop all schema tables, it empties all the database tables, but then when you build using the TestStand generated sql file, we get errors(shown below) we are not understanding, and we can no longer write to the database and LabVIEW throws a "Data type mismatch in criteria expression" error like this
"Possible reason(s):

Intermittent Runtime error - pure virtual function call

I have an intermittent runtime error - pure virtual function call & don't know what cause it? Since It only occurs & crashes once awhile therefore it's difficult to trap it for debugging.I suspect it come from TestStand ActiveX API which I use in my User Interface Application project but I'm not really sure.
Does anyone experience this kind of problem when working with TestStand API ? If so any
suggestion? I have noticed in the TestStand API header file teapi.tlh contain many raw_.... function defined as pure virtual function. What are these raw_... function ? I don't think I use any of these function in my project.
Many thanks!

Danh,
I don't believe that your problem can be solved with the information you have provided unless someone else has experienced the same symtpoms which coincidentally have the same cause as in your case.
Is there any other information you can provide that can help localize the problem?
1) What is happening when the error occurs?
2) Does the error always occur in the same place?
3) Does it always occur with use of certain resources (e.g. DAQ, GPIB, VISA, printer)?
4) Does it occur when using the sequence editor?
5) Does it occur when using one of the shipping operator interfaces?
6) Does it occur only when using your operator interfaces?
7)Is it related to a specific sequence or any sequence?
8) Does it happen when you executed your sequence with/without a process model entr
y point (i.e. Execute>>Test UUTs, Execute>>Singal Pass or Execute>>Run MainSequence)?
9) How often does it happen?
10) What version of TestStand are you using?
11) With what language (include versions) are you programming your code modules?
12) With what language (include versions) are you programming your operator interface?
13) Is there any error code reported with this error message?
14) Is this error reported in a TS run-time error dialog or is it reported directly 1by the operating system?
15) Have you searched the web for related errors? For example, the following link describes a particular programming mistake that can lead to this error
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q125/7/49.asp
By investigating answers to the above questions you may be able to narrow the cause of this error, which might allow you or others to help solve the problem.

Test stand crashes: "test stand has detected that your script debugging"

05-01-201203:18 PM
Hi everyone. I am setting up a new installation of Test stand and writing my first sequence with an existing sequence of legacy code.
When I run the sequence and stop on the call to the DLL, and then step into the dll and I get this error:
test stand has detected that your script debugging settings might cause visual studio to hang when attaching to the teststand process to perform this step into operation.
To fix this problem, open internet explorer, select tools>>Internet options>> Advanced, check Browsing>>Disabl script debugging, click okay, and restart your sequence execution.
The message is vague and it is indermanent as to whether I should "enable" or "disable" Script debugging so I tried both. Test stand then crashes again and I get the same error.
Do I need to reboot after each crash? I'll try that next. Any ideas on how to make this error go away?
Thank you for your help.

Added a check to Text to sequence file result in Test Stand hang up.

I added the check in text to sequence file translator.vi (the file is attached)
With this addition I generated the dll.
Test Stand load the sequence file without any problem for the first time.
If I add a space to the sequence file and save the file; test stand tries to load the new sequence file saying file has changed do you want to load the new sequence...
But fails to load the sequence (Test Stand hangs up)
The only way to overcome is kill the TestStand thru task manager.
Which displays
"You chose to end the nonresponsive program, SeqEdit.exe"
Attached the displayed error (error.doc)

Hi Vidula,
Is it only when you add a space to the file name that you see this behavior? If, for instance, you add a '1' to the beginging of the file name does the same thing happen?

Can labview call a test stand module

Having problems with a test dll that runs in test stand, but I get errors when trying to use the wizard in labview, however I can use the call library function node to protypye it. Problem - the function openComserialPort(char* comPort, ErrStruct & err), how do you difine the parameters for the ErrStruct & err part.
next Question, since this Dll runs in Test Stand, is their anyway to export to work in LabVIEW.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here's a description of the dll, to start off, I have a circuit board with a microprocessor on it, that has control for a radio module. During test I need to program this board serially through its' TX and RX lines on the processor. The dll given to me, which was written for test stand, has functions to enable me to do this programming. There are basically 11 function contained is this Dll.
Initialize Dll, (no errors),
open serial port, (no errors),
getStandardTable, which sends a command for the microprocessor to send back its information-> get assertion error
WriteHardwareVersion -> Sends the version and revision number -> assertion error.
ColdStart -> Which resets board statistics variables -> assertion error. Now, this function prototype is ColdStart (errStruct & err); So I prototype like I did for the above error struct, but still got an assertion error, which leaves me to believe, that , or vendor, has a bug communicating, or sending the commands via serially, to test this, I could use the serial examples contained in LabVIEW, however I don't know the command set of the microprocessor, or could there be something else wrong, Any ideas will be appreciated.

Test Stand Shut Down with no reason

Hello ,
I'm using Test Stand 4.2 & LabWindows CVI 9.0 .
I'v created a program that checks 30 cards in Batch mode , using Test Stand as master that calls CVI functions from dll files i'v created .
In the program there are no error nor warnings But i have a strange problem for every 50 runs of the program I'm facing 1 Complete shut down of TS with no reason or warning .
TS simply shut down and not showing any message . This problem is very disturbing considering that full check for 30 cards using TS is Approximately 3.5 hours .
The shut down can occur at any part of the run with no repeated pattern , It can happen after 3 min or after 3 hours And by doing so the user need to restart the entire test from the start because TS
didn't produced any Report .
I'm not denying that the crash can be in the dll files written in CVI but thats in low possibility .
I'm under Win Xp and using intel core2duo L7400 and 4 MB of RAM .
Is there any option to avoid this problem ??
Thank You , Kobi .

Thank u Doug i will check it , for now i have pasted the at the bottom the event viewer application log maybe some as i suspected the problem is in the CVI DLL but i don't know what this Error means
