TestStand execution stops sometimes

[Scott_Richardson]

Ofer, Bruno, and Hector -

Just wanted to followup with you on some of the issues pointed out in this thread:

1) A fix for the hang issue is now available with the release of LabWindows/CVI 9.0.1 run-time engine. LabWindows/CVI 9.0.1 was announced within the last week. So to prevent the hang on a system, you just need to install the new version of the RTE located at: http://ftp.ni.com/support/softlib/labwindows/cvi/Run-Time%20Engines/9.0.1/NILWCVIRTE90.exe. You may need to restart your system after installing.

2) The fix for the DC handle memory leak that I mentioned earlier in this thread has been applied to TestStand 4.2, which was announced today.

As always, thank you for pointing out these issues so that we can fix them.

Hello Scott,

I'm very happy to read that finally we can apply some final solutions. Could you post the link to the TS 4.2 official announcement?

Thanks,

Hector.

Hi Hector,

www.ni.com/teststand/upgrade is a great one-stop shop for all of the resources for NI TestStand 4.2 (including webcast and white paper).  I hope that helps!

Scott:

Is it necessary to remove previous CVI Run time versions?

Thanks ,

Hey Ofer,

Typically, older versions of the CVI Run Time Engine will be replaced by newer installations, so I do not believe it is necessary to uninstall first.

Ofer -

Derrick is correct. A system can only have one system version of the CVI RTE on it, so newer installed versions of the CVI RTE upgrade the previous version. Technically it is possible to create a private version of the CVI RTE by copying the RTE files in a specific way below the application directory that is using it, but this is rarely necessary. Newer versions of the CVI RTE are backwards compatible and rarely introduce new bugs.

Hi

After installing the cvi 9.01 run time I have a problem to operate the Testand operatot interface:

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand\OperatorInterfaces\NI\Full-Featured\LabVIEW\TestExec.exe
I got the following error message:

"Error 97 occurred at Unknown System Error in Full OI -
Configure Application Manager.vi->Full OI - Top-Level VI.vi->Full OI - Launcher.vi"

In one PC I have no problem. In this PCLabview 8.6 Run Time is installed & in the problematic PC Labview 8.0 is installed.

Is there any connection?

Thanks,

Ofer

Hi:

I got another problem:

In some Testand sequences I got this error when trying to run a msgbox step:

"An error occurred while attempting to display the Message Popup dialog box"

When trying to edit the msgbox step I got this error"

"

Error in call to LoadPanelEx
Parent Panel Handle 2
UIR File Name editmsg.uir
Panel Resource ID 1
Hinstance 0x597F0000 C:\..\Testand\Components\NI\StepTypes\MsgBox\msgbox.dll
Error Code 143
ActiveX control error
"
Again it does not occur in the PC with Run Time Labview 8.6
