Where can I find a variable in Veristand to see if RT-Sequence is finished?

[carlso]

Hey,

do anybody know where I can find a variable in Veristand which says if a RT- sequence is finished running or not?

I´ve got a runtime problem in Teststand and want to creat a Do While-loop to make sure that the Veristand sequence is finished and that not till than TestStand executes the next step.

Thanks

Carlos

Hello Carlos,

you can try the Get Model Execution State.vi or the Get System State.vi in a step to get the information.

Also nice, but not the such a function included NI VeriStand Add-on: Custom NI VeriStand Steps for NI TestStand

I hope this helps.

Hi Carlos

I’ve used a dotNET step within a Do While to check the state of a running stimulus profile.  Need to open the reference to the Stimulus Profile first using a separate dotNET step. See my TestStand 2012 example (VS_StimProfileChecks.seq).

Assembly:  NationalInstruments.VeriStand.RealTimeSequenceDefinitionApi(2012.0.0.0)

.NET Invocation: Use Existing Object(NationalInstruments.VeriStand.StimulusProfileDefinitionApi.StimulusProfile).State

Hey Alexander, hey Todd,

thank you both for your solutions!

I´m trying right now to reproduce your sequence, Todd, and it is working so far till the execution of the Action-Step "Open Project Reference". I get an error there... I changed the project-path to where my Engine Demo.nivsprof is located but it still doesn´t work. Do you know if I have to make other changes to get it work?

Thanks!

Best regards

C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\National Instruments\\NI VeriStand 2012\\Examples\\Stimulus Profile\\Engine Demo\\Stimulus Profiles\\Basic Engine Demo\\Engine Demo Basics.nivsstimprof
