(No, I can't just buy a daq card with 0-10 V output. Cmon, that would be too easy...)

Hello,

When I started this testing seq it was removing the "0" first in the string. with or without the " "

But Now I can't reproducer it. But if anyone have any idea on this leave a remark.

The number format as Hex may be helpfulm, I think. If it is a string, I'm sorry that I don't know why.

I try to handle this as a ASCII string, not binary or hex. But maybe Teststand do

Thanx

String.zip

Hmm

I'm talking to my self in this topic.

But for some reason it just starting to work. WHY

I have done nothing but added some watches. first to see that it was wrong, and after to see that it was correct.

If someone knows please leave a remark.

I use the following to represent arrays in files for the property loader:

ArrayName[0]<tab>ElementValue0

ArrayName[1]<tab>ElementValue1

ArrayName[2]<tab>ElementValue2

...

Tested and working

Have you seen any problems with string when propagate them.

I have a challenge with the addressing our equipment. it's using ascii base protocol and addressing from 00 to 79.

So when I propagate the variable Poss th value change from 07 to 7 and then I missing a char. and this makes the sequence failing (of course).

Any I idea ??

Thanx

Hmmm

Today it worked.

So the solutions is to have the " " on. Without the " " the 0 will not be taken in the string.

WHY ???????

OK then I wasted at least 2 hour yesterday on this

But there is an other problem with strings that contain a 0 as the first char.

When propagate them this 0 is gone. (soon my head hurts)

is there any way I can avoid this ??

Please advice

I'm using the property loader to store the position of UUT and instruments com ports.

And most of this is working OK.

One thing I found strange is that when I load a value "07" (zero seven) as a string this will end up as "7" in Teststand.

this is I have tried 07 or "07" with the same result.

Is there something I have overlooked in the Teststand ??

or is there something else I can try If not I have to look at checking the value in a statement.

Thanx

Doesn't he work for you? Can't you just go take it?

Both methods will work with calling other sequence file. It is no difference for TestStand to call a sequence from the same sequence file or a sequence from other sequence file. Oh, no, the difference is what you can not use FileGlobals for different files. But if you don't have a bad habit of using globals, you are ok.

In order to get started I have used both file-globals and station-globals. But I hope to change this now.

I think I use propagate inside a seq. But parrameter between seq.

I think I just do some testing

THANX

The key word there is "annoyed": your bosses are paid to put up with you annoying them - the admins and moderators here at LAVA are not. The old adage of "the squeaky wheel gets the most grease" does not apply here - in fact, it may be the opposite.

OK - you can now upload *.seq files to LAVA. We decided not to included *.rar for now as most people use zip for their archiving, and uploading a rar archive would exlude them from using those files. Workaround: use zips.

OK I can live with that

Maybe you don't readout all the data from the buffer ??

Then you also can have overflow.

You may need to read the serial buffer more than once before its empty.

I using a while loop and the "bytes at serial port" property to be sure that it's empty.

See in the case

If anyone have things to improve please let me know.

This only works on serial interfaces.

Working on it...

It's not funny to be there.

Leave the KID alone. He is the guy with the problem.

Depending on the boss you have, you can talk to him.

Not to harm the KID but to inform your boss about the incident.

We have a saying about thins in norwegian, but it can't be translated. due to the double meaning of a word.

But in other words You can't make all people happy.

What about your question "how to handle the values between the sequence?", I'm using two ways, passing parameters or propagating locals.

I suppose what you are using a top level sequence which calls your instrument sequences as sub sequences.

Than for the passing parameters method, you need to call each subsequence and pass by reference the variable as parfameter. If the parameter is modified in a first subsequence, the second subsequence will use the modified value.

Thanx for your examples.

The Idea was to call other seq files that is not in the current file. I think the Parameter passing is what I need.

In my project I need to pass over the instrument port, so I think this will work.

Thanx.

I didn't figure out the propagate thing yet. but I will look into it later

I have to be finnished with something first

There is a "User Title" under my avatar that says "I need an avatar!" or something like that. I have searched for half an hour for how to change this and I haven't found it yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If you mean the text under your picture

This will change automatic depending an the number of post you have.

If you pass 1000 post you will be able to sett the text yourself

Good lock

Thax

I will try this tomorow

PS. Why is your "name" Clio75? I thought Reanult Clio only was i version 3 (see my avatar)?

I needed a nick on internet. I had a Clio and I'm born in 1975 so I became Clio75

Hello

I have attached the project.

Testing.zip

I was trying attached a file to a topic, and realized that *seq and *.rar was not possible to upload.

*.seq is a teststand file so I just wonder why

Bug or feature ??

I'm trying to use the property loader in Teststand 4.1.1 and load and array into an array variable.

But I always have problems, or unloaded value.

So I have tried:

Testarray[tab]test1[tab]test2[tab]test3[tab]test4

OR

TestArray

[tab]test1

[tab]test2

[tab]test3

[tab]test4

OR

Testarray[tab]test1,test2,test3,test4

or XML

TestArray <Prop Name="TestArray" Type="Array" LBound="[0]" HBound="[4]" ElementType="Number">

<Value ID="[0]">CRC</Value>

<Value ID="[1]">ATT-6</Value>

<Value ID="[2]">CRC</Value>

<Value ID="[3]">ATT-13</Value>

</Prop>

If you like to test this, the first 5 in the uut serial number must be 12345

I PASSED!!! I am now a Certified LabVIEW Architect. Woo hoo!!!

Congratulations.

each time the adapter was plugged in it had a different COM port or the settings were totally different.

This happend if you are using diffrent USB port. At least on my computer the serial port is static mapped. so If I choose USB 1 it become com3, if I use USB2 it become com5. But If you have other application that takes these port it have to assign new port to that USB.

I also had to "synchronize" the VISA drivers in MAX to what Windows had occasionally.

This is better in LW 8.6 at least. But not perfect. In must cases the instrument gets up without start MAX.

But I tried a new instrument yesterday, and this was not found before I restarted MAX and LW.
