NI VeriStand Embedded Data Logger Receive Time should be saved in a format such that Excel can display it directly as a time stamp

Status: New Submitted by Member on 11-26-2012 02:33 AM 1 Comment

Hello

 

I have encountered problems while converting the Embedded Data Logger Receive Time information from VeriStand in double format into a Excel time stamp.

 

When I am introducing my logging data in .tdsm format I was not able to convert it into a "normal" time stamp with date and time information using the excel cell categories concerning time and data options. My solution to that was a exectuable which the NI support has generated for me. Otherwise it was not possible to me to make this conversion.

 

Either NI should publish the algorithm how to convert this double value into a "normal" time stamp or there should be a possibility to log the data in a easiliy understandble way for Excel to convert it.

 

Best greetings

Adding persistance To Alarm specification Page

Status: Already Implemented Submitted by Member on 06-19-2012 04:13 AM 2 Comment

Hi,

 

Here is a small idea that will be really value added in Alarm Handling

 

In cases of using sensors like inclinometer, thermocouples, LVDT and etc, there are chances where noise peaks in signal might go Out Of Limits. These kind of peaks are usual in the sensors where it stays not more than 5 msec. So in these case, We can use Persistance to avoid inducing false alarms. We can ignore the noise peaks whose period is not more than the defined time (mscec).If the peak remains more than the specified time, then the alarm should be induced.

The Persistance might be given in msec.The user should also be able to enable/disable this option.

Chang the font of Workspace Control Label

Status: In Development Submitted by Active Participant on 02-28-2012 12:26 AM 1 Comment

Hello,

 

In VS 2011, font of Workspace control label can not be changed. If you can change the font and size on item property window as below image, it is better for users to arrange Workspace. Moreover, I hope that the label would support multi language 🙂

Nonlinear interpolation with Look-Up Table at Calculated Channel

Status: Completed Submitted by Active Participant on 02-20-2012 02:55 AM 2 Comment

Hello,

 

One of my customers wants to scale voltage to scaled data with look-up table, but calculated channel in VeriStand 2011 does not support it. Custome device doing LUT scaling might be created, but it is better to offer LUT scaling function Smiley Happy

Allow formula/conditionnal in Channel fault manager

Status: New Submitted by Member on 06-06-2016 02:36 AM Comment

During the test phase, the possiblity to add a a formula or a conditionnal channel instead of just a number, would be really appreciate.

This feature was included in TIV, a competitor software and we really missed it.

VeriStand workspace screen objects : Add controls objects to handle macros ...

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 07-10-2013 02:08 PM 1 Comment

Hello,

 

It would be nice to add some controls in VeriStand workspace screen objects in order to handle macros.

 

  • A control to be abble to Start / stop a Macro
  • A control to be abble to record a macro

 

The two controls could be linked to a combobox which could list the content of a "Macros" directory, located under the project root.

 

  • A button to start a macro could also be usefull (With a label and linked to a project macro)

These controls could be helpfull when you want to build a simple screen, for users without big knoledges about VeriStand.

Provide channel to stop/pause stimulus profile

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 03-22-2013 12:17 PM 2 Comment

In VeriStand 2009, there was a Generator Engine State channel that can be manipulated to stop or pause stimulus a profile. For example, an alarm and procedure could force a profile to stop. The Generator Engine State is present in VeriStand 2011 but is entirely disconnected from the new stimulus profiles. Thus there is now way to stop a profile from running other than a user action pressing Stop on the profile. This creates a safety concern in some of our systems where we want to use an alarm triggered procedure to abort a profile. Thank you.

Proper parsing of stimulus profile channel logging list

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 03-19-2013 04:38 PM Comment

The file logging for stimulus profile appears to accept a text list of channels. However, it requires us to remove the Windows carriage return character using an advanced text editor for the list to be valid to VeriStand. I'd like the simulus profile editor logging pane to be able to parses a Windows formatted list without this extra step. Thank you.

Veristand DAQ Scaling

Status: Completed Submitted by Active Participant Active Participant on 10-16-2012 11:35 AM 3 Comment

Working in Veristand is much easier in engineering units as this is what models often require.

 

It would be beneficial to add scaling to DAQ channels using DAQmx scales. This could be applied on a channel by channel basis.

Multible Limits per Alarm

Status: New Submitted by Member on 09-03-2012 04:14 PM Comment

In Veristand you can add a alarm with one low and one high limit. Often it is helpfully not only have alarm limits but also warning limits. In some automation systems (e.g. Morphe from D2T) we can define three limits.

 

For example:

Warning: The oil pressure of a engine fall below the warning limit we could log that, show a dialog and stop smoothly the engine.

Alarm: But if we fall below the alarm limit its very important to stop as fast as possible.

Veristand : Provide a Reference Manual for add-on development

Status: New Submitted by Member on 07-09-2015 03:03 AM 2 Comment

When we have to develop add-ons for Veristand, we need to search into examples and existing add-ons to find how to implement some basic or advanced functionalities.

For example : using the node browser control in a labview dialog box, or finding the list of the optional inputs for custom workspace.

 

This is really time consuming !

 

Veristand is missing documentation for add-ons developpers. It would be good to have a Reference Manual like in TestStand.

Import Units and Descriptions from VeriStand models created with LabVIEW

Status: New Submitted by Member on 01-13-2012 05:57 AM Comment

Problem: If you import a model dll you did not create on your own you have no information how to use the model and its channels. Neither the description nor any unit string comes with the imported model.

 

Please rework the VeriStand model generation tool that the description property of the VI and the channels are transferred to the model dll.

Also please make sure the default descriptions are loaded into VeriStand when importing the model.

 

Getting the default unit might be more complicated as there is no unit property for LabVIEW controls and indicators. I am sure you have a smart solution for this 🙂

 

I appriciate!

Automatic (dynamic) generation of a Veristand Model from a VI

Status: Already Implemented Submitted by Member on 10-20-2011 09:24 AM 5 Comment

Hello,

 

Today I have a need that is a bit difficult to perform: I developped a soft that convert a xml file into a VI, but I'd like this soft to create a VeriStand model from this VI.

So it would be very interesting to be able to dynamically create a Veristand model in Labview, wheter thanks to an API or an invoke node, ...

I appears that for the moment the only way to do it would be to open the LVSV Dialog.vi by script.

 

Thanks,

Luc.

NI VeriStand: Auto Expand System Explorer Tree to First Set of Branches

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 01-31-2014 05:50 PM 2 Comment

When configuring a system definition file in VeriStand, you can spend a lot of time expanding all of the tree items even if there's only one other item under it. I think it would be nice if the tree auto expanded down to the first set of user-added branches. For example, say I have a simple System Definition as shown below:

 

sysdef.PNG

 

If I want to get down to the CAN port I've added, I need to expand Controller, Hardware, Chassis, NI-XNET, and CAN. It would be nice if, assuming the only hardware I've added is the CAN Port, that when I expand Hardware it automatically expands all the way down to CAN 1 since it's the first node I've added. Obviously if I'd also added a DAQ card I'd be ok with it only expanding down to under chassis. Alternatively, or in addition, a button that completely expands the currently highlighted section would be nice.

Add a tip strip to the Path and Expression indicators in the Model's Parameter Specification page

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 11-29-2017 09:05 AM Comment

Currently when we try to look into the Model's Parameters we don't really know the difference between he Path and Expression indicators. A tip strip would be helpful in figuring out the correct paths.

Make the stimulus profile message box prompt actually return the text string for programmatic use

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 05-08-2013 05:01 PM Comment

Currently the stimulus profile message box prompt allows user text input, but the user text isn't usable anywhere. I'd like to the text to be returned for use in the profiles/sequences. Thank you.

Sequences return arrays

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 04-27-2013 02:24 AM Comment

Because we use sequences as function calls, it'd be great if they could return multiple variables or return arrays.

Veristand Stimulus Editor:Global or Array Variable

Status: New Submitted by Member on 04-26-2013 02:22 PM Comment

I have hundreds of signals and I want to be able to set a values to them all at once without listing each one individually in every sequence. How do I write to many signals at once?  Is there away to assign all the signals to one variable or array of some type and just write to that variable?  I did not see such mechanism and NI support says nothing similar exists.  Maybe this should be considered.

Line reference or debugger for stimulus profiles and real time sequences

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 03-13-2013 12:40 AM Comment

I'd like to see a system channel that can point to the line number of the real time sequence being run. This would add additional debugging capability. Something similar was available in VeriStand 2009 where a "GENxyz Current Step" would indicate what step the profile was on. Thank you.
