When running labview's test executive I recieve runtime error: Call to step "PRE-RUN" failed. Could someone explain this error?

I have a set of vi's that work when run under labview. However, when calling these vi's from labview's test executive I recieve runtime error: Call to step "PRE-RUN" failed. in Assign Connector Pane.vi->Call Test.vi->Execute Pre-Run.vi->Test Executive. Could someone explain this error to me? (or ideally tell me how to fix it?) Thanks.

Hello,
There are any number of possible causes to this problem. Which version of Test Executive are you using? Have you upgraded your Test Executive recently? The latest version is 5.1.1. If you have changed anything about Test Executive on your computer recently, I recommend you perform a mass compile of all your VI libraries, as having different versions of the VIs on your system could often result in the "Call to Step XYZ Failed" errors. Also, are you using any DAQ or Analysis VIs in your steps? We have seen problems where the use of DAQ or Analysis VIs in the sequence can cause intermittent "Call to Step...Failed" errors. There are some KnowledgeBase entries on our website that discuss this problem. Are you using the Test Executive in the VI environment, or
as an executable? Again, there are some problems with using Test Executive as an executable that result in these errors, and there are also KnowledgeBase entries that discuss these problems.
If you have a pared-down application that demonstrates the problem, feel free to send me your VIs and your .seq file and I will try to reproduce the problem.
Alternatively, I would suggest you visit www.ni.com/teststand to learn about TestStand, our state-of-the-art Test Sequencing software that completely outperforms Test Executive. It is very easy to use and much more powerful, and we have a top-notch support team available dedicated exclusively to supporting TestStand. As you are probably aware, we are no longer developing Test Executive, and instead are concentrating our efforts on making TestStand the penultimate solution for all our customers' test sequencing needs.
I appreciate your patience on this issue. Please let me know if I can offer further assistance.
Have a pleasant weeken

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Run labview exe in other way than runtime engine?

    Hi guys
    This might be stupid question, but can I run labview's *.exe in other way than in the runtime engine? In these days in have done *exe and installer with runtime engine and give it to the end-user. It does not matter how tiny ur code is, user have to install 40 conponents and then restart computer... How annoying. Is there eny other way? Can i use other programming languages some how?
    -AA-

    If the runtime is only one out of 40 components, it should not make a big difference for you.
    I always tell my users to download and install the runtime engine directly from NI. This needs to be done only once per PC and per runtime version, at which point you can distribute a small installer.
    There is also an idea to simplify all this. Please support it.
    (It is not reasonable to be able to build an executable with embedded runtime, that would make a LabVIEW 2009 executable 100+MB in size. (We had that back in LabVIEW 4.0, where each 20kb VI turned into a 3+MB executable, which was significant in the days of 1GB drives.)

  • Why won't my MacBook Pro backup to Time Machine (on my 1TB Time Capsule) when I'm running Lion OSX 10.7.5.? What does it mean when this error pops up: MacBook Pro.sparse bundle could not be assessed (error - 1).???? Please help me fix this!

    Apparently I am not the only person having this problem as I have seen many threads about it. If ANYONE OUT THERE CAN HELP ME, I WOULD SINCERELY APPRECIATE IT.
    I try and run my backup as I always have, but it HAS NEVER COMPLETED SINCE I UPGRADED TO LION. As many mentions, I updated from 10.7.4 to 10.7.5 hoping that would fix my issue and it didn't help at all. I also unistalled WD SmartWare to no avail. It's really starting to annoy me since I have as much money invested in my MacBook Pro and Time Capsule as I do in my car....
    I have more than enough space on the Time Capsule, but Time Machine is still failing and coming up with an error message: MacBook Pro.sparsebundle could not be assessed (error - 1).
    Someone, anyone, please help!

    . . . sparse bundle could not be accessed (error -1)

  • When I error check my Pages-created epub, I get the error code "undeclared prefix: ibooks." How do I resolve this error?

    I'm creating an epub with Pages for upload to various sites. When I error check the epub, I get only one error message: "undeclared prefix: ibooks." The file itself works perfectly and looks fantastic when I open it directly from my computer/ipad with numerous Mac-compatible reading apps. However, I have no idea what distortions this "error" will cause when the epub is uploaded and redistributed. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, did it create problems in distribution? Or is it irrelevant? Thanks for any practical and straight forward answers and/or suggestions.

    Based on that, it does sound like the sites you were having problems with had to do with filenames, not this error.  I can imagine a site running a standard EPUB verifier, and if any errors at all are thrown rejecting the file, but practically speaking an unknown META tag (what's causing this error) should be ignored by the parser and therefore by definition be harmless.
    I was using a free Java-based checker myself, and the fact that I managed to clear up the error indicates to me (unless I'm remembering wrong or misunderstood what fixed it in my case) that it's probably not technically the EPUB checker's failure to recognize the Apple META property; more accurately, it's that the XML dictionary the file is referencing doesn't include the Apple items in it, so the EPUB checker is correctly complaining about it.
    It could also be something as simple as Pages generating a file that is marked as an EPUB v2 file but that uses EPUB v3 features (I know my book was intended to be v3, and I could have inadvertently used headers for v2).
    Regardless, if the sites accept it, there's a good chance it is okay; DRM, at least, isn't going to change anything--only if an e-reader changes its EPUB parser at some point and breaks something, which seems unlikely.
    However, the best way to find out if it's going to work right is to test it.  Kindle is far and away the most popular reader, so try it with that and see if it comes out looking how you expect.  You should be able to view it in the Kindle application, and there is also a Kindle simulatior available from Amazon that lets you see how an e-paper Kindle will render books without having to buy one.  They have very limited EPUB support as far as features go, so it's definitely worth testing even if there are no errors--a lot of things iBooks will display just fine a Kindle will choke on.  The older e-paper Nooks, in my experience, are even worse.

  • When I tap the "download for Android" on my Android phone, I receive a "requested item could not be found" error message.

    I am attempting to install Firefox mobile on my Android phone. When I tap "download for Android" on my current browser, I receive a "requested item could not be found" error message.

    Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
    On some supported devices, a bug prevents Firefox from appearing in the Market. This may be related to the recent Market update. You can go to Settings/Applications and uninstall the Market update, then find and install Firefox.
    Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly from here:
    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0b3/android-r7/multi/
    (Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)
