TS2012: Cannot access Configure Report

[OnlyOne]

Hello,

i installes TS2012 and LV2012 on a fresh system.

I tried to use my previous mode-sequence from TS3.5 and get lots of errors

One problem is that i cant acces the meno point Configure+Report-options any more. I get the attached error-popup.

(I need to set the report-settings to ascii)

Whats wrong here?

thx

Hi,

meanwhile the previous error in my first posting does not appear any more.

The model is executing up to the "TestReport Callback" and then the attached popup appears.

But when i go to the menue and click on Configure + Report Options then nothing happens.

Why is the report-options-form not opened/displayed?

(I found out that when i use the default Teststand2012-sequence-model then in the Configure-menue is the point "Result Processing" instead of "Result Options" when using my model.)

Thanks for help

Did you copy all of the files from the models directory for the model from 3.5 you want to use or only the files you changed? You need to copy all of the files.

Hmm, good idea.

I copied exactly....nothing. 🙂

TS 3.5 has a directory \CFG with all the files inside. At which position do i have to copy the files?

I am using Windows7_64bit and there everything is a little different then in the XP with TS3.5

Thank you

Hm, i read you reply wrong.

I copied all files from the old system to the new system but not the cfg-directory.

In this list is then included the model and also a custom DLL that is used in the model to create a special format.

So i think i am sure that i have all files (this folder with all files is then set as searchdirectoy in TS)

When i click on Configure+ReportOptions then for about 0.5s a tnew tab appears with text "Executing" but closes immidiately. I think TS i trying to open the Report-Dialog but anything happens then.

Thx

Before modifying process models you should generally copy all of the files involved from <TestStand>\Components\Models\TestStandModels to <TestStandPublic>\Components\Models\TestStandModels and make your changes to the copy. Thus when you upgrade to a newer version of TestStand you need to copy the files from the old version of TestStand's <TestStandPublic>\Components\Models\TestStandModels directory to the one for the new version of TestStand.

Maybe I misunderstood though. Are you trying to use a model you created in 3.5 or just a test sequence? If you are just using a test sequence and you want to use them with the new models in the newer version of teststand then that is different than what I thought and you should not have a Configure Reports menu item anymore.

Hello,

i am trying to reuse a Model which is running in TS3.5 and now i want to use TS2012.

I did what you said and copied the complete directory <TestStand>\Components\Models\TestStandModels to <TestStandPublic>\Components\Models\TestStandModels.

(On the TS2012-system there was no directoy with this name before.)

But i still cannot access the menu Configure+ Report-Options and after the sequence is finished it shows an xml-file instead of Ascii. I need to ooen the Reports-dialog to change report to Ascii.

Thanks for help

Hello again,

i installed now TS2010 instead of 2012.

Now my model is complete running without problems. It also generates my txt-reportfile and and the end of the squence the file is shown in the windows.

But i still cant access Configure+Report-Options.

I now copied the complete TS3.5 \TestStandModels-Directory and copied it <TestStand>\Components\Models\TestStandModels where i zipped before the original-folder. But still not accessible.

Is it possible that there is somewhere a type-conflict and thats why the dialog does not open?

I already opened the files <TestStand>\Components\Models\TestStandModels\reportgen_html.seq & *txt.seq & *.xml.seq and resaved them but without access
.

What else can i try?

You should never be updating the version of the models in the <TestStand> directory. You should be putting them in the equivalent place in the <TestStandPublic> directory instead. The public directory for TestStand 2012 should be located in the following location on Windows 7 (on Windows XP it is in a different location, let me know if you need the location for Windows XP):

C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2012\Components\Models\TestStandModels

On a clean install of 2012, copy the process model files (the entire directory tree for the directory) you want to use to the above directory before starting teststand. It should work. If you've saved any files with callbacks from the new models then you might have problems. I recommend starting fresh with files you haven't ever saved with 2012 to avoid any issues.

Hi dug9000,

this is exactly what i did the first time without success. But in this folder are no modified files. I very often installed TS3.5 and never copied this folder.
