Using settings from MAX in TestStand

Is there any solution for accessing the parameters from MAX (Measurment & Automation Explorer)in TestStand. I would like to get a hold of my VISA Aliases, logical names and GPIB-settings from TestStand. Is this possible?

Hi,
what programming environment are you using?
You have the MAX Viewer activeX control available, so you can embed that in a program that will then act as a means of selecting the items (by hand). The MAX viewer will allow you access to the item names, but no further - i.e. you can't directly get information on the setup of items (channel counts etc) but you can retrieve the information that is shown in the MAX tree control.
Hope that helps
I have an example I'm working on in LabVIEW so I know it's possible, but unfortunately I can't attach it as yet (work in progress etc)

  • Cant use DAQ from MAX in LABView

    I am new to LABView and NI-DAQ and have some problems getting it going. I have LABView 6.1 and NI-DAQ 6.9.2 installed on a Windows XP operating system. The DAQ card is an AT-MIO-16E series,is installed and is visible in MAX under the "Devices and Interfaces" section. It tests fine in MAX using the channel test. However, I have no option in LABView to view the DAQ channel, and under the "Tools" menu there is no option to select anything regarding DAQ. Upon starting LABView, the "DAQ Solutions" is also greyed out and not selectable. I have uninstalled and re-installed the entire package a few times already! Can anyone please give me some advise to try and rectify this problem?

    Hello,
    if i got that right, you want to do a data acquisition with a LabView program.
    Basicly there are examples coming with LabView to get started with DAQ programming. You find them under the menu:
    "Help -> Find Examples"
    In this example browser you can select:
    "Hardware Input and Output -> DAQ -> Getting Started"
    or other examples concerning hardware I/O
    You can also give aliases to channels you want to read.
    This is done in the Measurement and Automation explorer by creating virtual channels.
    Here a link to how it is done:
    Create a virtual channel
    i hope this gives you a starting point

  • Why is it so chaotic to Sync Settings between apps of Adobe CC 2014? (and to transfer settings from CC to CC 2014)

    Although, in general I'm a big fan of the Adobe Products and the CC Idea, I think that some parts of it were not ready for launch.
    The part that mostly disturbs me is the settings syncing / Update. (Or "Seamless Update")
    Concerning the updates:
    I had own workspace in all the CC Adobe Apps, the only CC 2014 App that imported the previous settings in the new app at the first start was Photoshop.
    Indesign made it through the Edit => Migrate previous local settings
    Illustrator by copying the settings files manually
    in Dreamweaver and Flash I had to recreate the workspace manually (which finally took less time then trying  to sync settings.)
    So long for the Seamless update that wasn't so seamless.
    Concerning the settings syncing
    Why could'nt adobe have the settings syncing working the same way in all it's CC 2014 applications? ( File Menu on PC / The Name of the App Menu on Mac => Sync Settings, upload or download settigns; done!)
    Instead (on mac) :
    In Photoshop: Photoshop => my account name => upload and download settings ( and no way to import settings from previous version )
    In Illustrator: Illustrator => my account name => Sync Settings ( and I cannot import settings from the previous version, only from the same version )
    in Indesign: Indesign => my account name => Sync Settings ( and the only CC 2014 App where the "Migrate previous local settings" function is working )
    in Dreamweaver => my account name => Sync Settings and a button on the far right of the upper toolbar (and no way to import previous version's local settings)
    in Flash => my account name => Sync Settings and a button on the far right of the upper toolbar (and no way to import previous version's local settings)
    in Premiere Pro => my account name => Sync Settings with the possibility to clear settings and to use settings from a different account
    Appart from that update and syncing chaos, the syncing between two computers simply doesn't seem to work ( at least for me).
    I have a computer at work and a laptop at home and I'd like to have the same workspace in my apps at home as at work for occasional home working.
    I created and configured my custom workspaces on the mac at work and then synced settings (respectively uploaded them in Photoshop). I had cleared all the saved settings from the Creative Cloud online account first.
    I arrived at home, tried to sync settings but no workspace was implemented. (and before you ask, yes i had checked that the workspaces should be synced and that, on the laptop at home, the cloud settings should be applied.)
    After few tryings I gave up and ended up recreating my setings on both machine. Frankly I don't know why the sync settings are for, since they just don't seem to work.
    I really think you should rethink this feature: make it simpler, working THE SAME WAY in all Adobe apps, and, well, just working!
    I'd just like to log into creative cloud an any computer, sync settings, and be able to use my custom created workspace.
    I posted this in the Cloud Forum since, in my opinion, the settings syncing is a cloud matter and not a matter of each app individually.

    You ought to have a listener somewhere that calls a function
    to then set up the loaded swf. In that function you can do this
    kind of thing:
    var ldrmc:MovieClip;
    function swfloaded (e:Event) {
    ldrmc = null;
    if (e.target.content is MovieClip) {
    ldrmc = e.target.content as MovieClip;
    If the swf was published for AS3, then ldrmc will end up
    being a pointer to the root of the swf, and you can call functions
    or set variables however you like. If it was an AS2 swf, ldrmc
    would be null.
    Inside the loaded swf you could try trace statements, to make
    sure you're looking up the hierarchy far enough. Like this:
    trace(MovieClip(parent.parent));
    If that doesn't trace MainTimeLine, then maybe you're not
    looking up far enough. Don't forget that the swf itself is in a
    loader, and so may be one level down from where you thought it was.

  • Using MAX vs Teststand for Switching

    Can anyone explain whats going on here??
    I went into MAX and gave all my ni switches ( MUX) aliases.  This is under channel/exclusions tab.  Under the Schematics tab is a column named route groups. I can give my relay connection ( like close relay 2) an alias here..like "Close Relay 2".  If I click on relay 2 in the schematic it shows a connection between ch2 and com.  Fine.   Now when I go into Teststand >Properties TAb>switching>enable switching...I have the "Operation" "Connect".  Is this redundant??  I already connected it when I called it.  If its because Teststand doesn't know what I want when I call that particular alias will it "Disconnect" when I select Disconnect from the drop down??
    Would you suggest I leave ALL my relays open in MAX and just "Connect" "Disconnect " them in Teststand??
    Can you suggest what the other options should be if:
    I want to connect 1 or more relays for this sequence, do some testing, then disconect those relays??  Is that Connection Liftetime??  So "Step"??
    What is multimode and when/how do I use it??
    Included a few screen caps
    Thanks!

    Hey Clint,
    NI Switch Executive exists in both MAX and TestStand (and LabVIEW, etc).  You can program individual routes in TestStand, or you can precreate complex route groups in MAX and then call those routes/route groups in TestStand.  Say for example that you want to connect A to B, C to D, E to F, you can create a route group called "awesome channels" in MAX, then add the explicit connections to that route group (A to B, C to D, E to F).  Now in TestStand you simply need to connect "awesome channels" and NI Switch Executive will do the rest. 
    While you can connect channels in MAX, the intent is that you create the route groups in MAX and then use those route groups in test stand (if for no other reason that TestStand is automated while MAX is not).  Ultimately, you can use the SW however you'd like, but we intend for the runtime execution to be automated in teststand.  Think of MAX as the debug/configuration environment. 
    Connection Lifetime is how long the relays should stay connected.  For example, placing lifetime at "Step" means that as soon as that particular TestStand step completes, the relays will disconnect. 
    Multiconnect mode is the concept that a relay can be connected more than once in software.  As long as the connect count is 0, the relay is open.  If the relay count is greater than 0, then the relay is closed.  Say, for example, that you have two different tests that can run simultaneously and they share the same relay.  Specifically, test 1 requires relays A and B, while test 2 requires relays B and C.  If you're able to perform both tests simultaneously (a function of your DUT), then when you connect test 1 and 2 simultaneously, relays A and C will both have a connect count of 1 (they've been connected once), but relay B will have a connect count of 2.  Thus, when test 2 finishes and disconnects its associated relays, test 1 could still be running; since relay B will have a connect count of 1 after test 2 'disconnects' relay B, relay B will still be closed and test 1 won't be interrupted.  The concept takes a minute to wrap your head around, but ultimately it is quite powerful.
    NI Switch Executive is a very powerful program.  Once you've played around with it for a bit, it is intuitively easy, but there is a higher rampup curve versus our other switch programming software (NI-Switch, NI-DAQmx, etc).  NI Switch Executive is particularly well suited for TestStand.
    Let us know if you have any other questions or if my answers aren't clear.  Have a great day!

  • How do I use Migration Assistant to get my Mail and Keychain settings from

    How do I use Migration Assistant to get my Mail and Keychain settings from my Power Mac G5 2.3Ghz? I just purchased a new 2.5 MacBook Pro which will be delivered tomorrow, and I want to to know how to transfer Mail and Keychain?
    Thank You in advance for your reading and replying.
    Kindest Regards,
    Sebastian

    Rather than using Migration Assistant, which can cause trouble with the PPC to Intel change, simply boot the G5 in FireWire target disk mode and manually transfer the following:
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    You might want to look over Kappy's helpful guide for migrating, which covers the full process for a manual migration (including the above files).
    Hope this helps...

    Hi,
    Unfortunately I already tried all kinds of re-installs (the full list is in my original message). The only one remaining is the reinstall of Windows 8 itself, which I would really like to avoid.
    What I find really strange is the time it takes for the above error message to appear. It's like one hour or even more (never measured exactly, I left the computer running).
    What kind of a timeout is that? I would expect that, if ports are really used by some other application, I get the message in less than a minute (seconds, actually). To me this looks like the emulator itself for some reason believes there's a problem with
    some port while in reality there isn't.
    I'll eventually contact Microsoft Support, thanks for the suggestion.

  • I bought a used iphone 4 today. how to transfer all my old and important data including apps and email settings from old iphone 3gs to the used iphone 4?

    i bought a used iphone 4 today. how to transfer all my old and important data including apps and email settings from old iphone 3gs to the used iphone 4? that means, making the iphone 4 just like the iphone 3gs?

    Well, you sink everything on your 3GS onto your laptop/computer. Then you reset your iPhone 4. When you are restarting it, add all those apps music (ect)  On to it. It seems difucult but for more info call Apple. I did that and he lead me step by step on how to do it. Well hope this helped~~

  • How to transfer settings from WRT310N (in use) to AC1750 (EA6500) (new)?

    Is there an easy, automated process to transfer existing router configuration/settings from a (currently in use) WRT310N to a new AC1750 (EA6500) (brand new, not currently in use)?
    I am hoping not to have to do it manually ...
    Thanks!

    I agree with FurryNutz. You need to manually configure the settings to the new router. The Linksys EA6500 has the Linksys Smart Wifi firmware and has a different user interface.

  • I am unable to view ATV settings from iMac using AirPort utility

    I am unable to view ATV settings from iMac using AirPort utility. Having problems with ATV quitting Airplay since recently updating.

    I was interested to know if I could configure, or at least view the settings of my ATV from a Mac computer. This is because I have it connected to a projector rather than a HD TV and so it is not always convenient to view settings directly from the ATV display.
    Anyway I tried finding it using Airport Utility and it does not show up (Mavericks running Airport Utility 6.3.2 on one iMac and Snow Leopard running 5.6.1 on another).
    When I click on File>Connect Other it asks for an IP address and password. I doubt if knowing these would allow me to connect.
    The ability view settings and configure ATV from Airport Utility would be a useful feature. We should suggest this to Apple via feedback:

  • New iMac, used Time Machine to Copy Settings from Laptop, Having Trouble

    Sorry if this is a common question, but I couldn't find an answer after searching the boards.
    My new MacBook arrived three weeks ago. Like a good girl, I've been backing up with Time Machine and an external hard drive. No problems.
    My new iMac arrived yesterday. While setting it up, it asked if I wanted to copy settings from a Time Machine backup. I said "yes" (should have said "no") and told Time Machine to copy my laptop settings to my iMac. I did not copy Applications or Documents--just account information.
    My new iMac is now a bit confused. It thinks it is a copy of my MacBook (the backup of the iMac is called 'MacBook 2'), and it also thinks I have software installed on it that I don't have installed. Specifically, it is refusing to install a statistical program, stating that "Install has detected the presence of SPSS 16.0 for Mac. Please uninstall the existing version before installing this version of the product."
    Here's my question: is there a way I can "undo" the migration that I did yesterday? I certainly wouldn't be losing any files or anything of importance if I could just take it all back.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Chaya

    it's probably some preference file in the transfered home directory that was put there when you installed that program on the macbook. You can try looking for that preference file in library folder in your home directory or you can create a new user account and install the software from there.

Maybe you are looking for
