TS2012: Cannot access Configure Report

[dug9000]

From the error you are getting it is likely you are missing some of the original process model files from 3.5. Try the following:

1) From a clean install of 3.5 copy all files from c:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\TestStand 3.5\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels to C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2012\Components\Models\TestStandModels (assuming Windows 7)

2) Copy your directory of custom 3.5-based process model files from whereever they are located to C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2012\Components\Models\TestStandModels overwriting any existing files you copied in step 1) above.

This should make sure you have all of the original files from 3.5 that you might not have copied to the directory with your custom process model changes. The reason why it didn't matter in older versions of TestStand is that the default files were a lot closer or identical to what 3.5 was using anyway. Since the new models in TestStand 2012 are a lot different you need to make sure you have ALL of the files from the 3.5 model, not just the ones you modified.

Hope this helps,

What are "custom 3.5-based process model files"? I only have one seq-file which is my model and some VIs are called in there.

The model-sequence and the custom VIs are lets say in C:\DATA\. I added this directory to Teststand search-path inluding subdirectorys.

But i dont have any other custom sequence-files that are used in the model.

So i dont have any files that have the names of something in \TestStandModels.

Is your sequence file a model or just a test sequence? Are you selecting your model as the one to use in the Station options settings? A model defines the process around running a testsequence such as generating reports and getting the UUT serial number.

If you have a model and it's showing the built in configure reports dialog (not some custom one), then your model has a dependency on a bunch of other files from 3.5 that you are not including. Basically it depends on the files in the directory I told you to copy in step 1) of my previous post.

You might not have realized it, but if you wrote any sort of custom model that calls code from the original model you are depending on that original code and should include it with all of your model code for future compatibility with future versions of teststand or you will hit problems like you are now hitting.

Hope this helps clarify things.

I went back on Snapshot where i just installed TS and LV and copied the directory you specified in 1).

After this i can use the default SequentialModel.seq and i can also open the configure+Report-Options.

(The file is saved in the just copied directory C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2012\Components\Models\TestStandModels)

But with my model-sequence (which is really a model and not a sequence) there happens nothing when clicking on configure+Report-Options.

Hi OnlyOne,

at this point it's difficult because we don't know if some modifications you made could cause the problem.

It would be great if you could zip and upload your files + all steps to reproduce your problem.

Best Regards,

Getting the files like Lam suggests is probably the quickest way for us to be able to help with this. Another thing you might want to try is to set a breakpoint in your configuration callback of your model (the sequence that displays the dialog) and try to debug it yourself and see why it's not working.
