Chassis TimeSync Custom Device Feedback

[MichaelAivaliotis]

I'm getting the following error in Veristand during deployment:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The VeriStand Gateway encountered an error while deploying the System Definition file.

Details:
Error 7 occurred at Project Window.lvlib:Project Window.vi >> Project Window.lvlib:Command Loop.vi >> NI_VS Workspace ExecutionAPI.lvlib:NI VeriStand - Connect to System.vi

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW: File not found. The file might be in a different location or deleted. Use the command prompt or the file explorer to verify that the path is correct.

My setup:

Veristand 2016

LabVIEW 2016

NI-Sync 18.6

NI-TimeSync 18.1.1 (according to this NI doc, 18.1.1 version is OK: https://tinyurl.com/y3ltvxr2)

NI-DAQmx 18.5.0

I also had a question about the source version of the custom device located on GIT. Do you need LabVIEW RT to build the device?

I downgraded the NI-TimeSync 1.2 just in case. But it still gives the missing file error. Here is the software on the RT and PC. Any suggestions?

Hello,

we successfully use this TimeSync CustomDevice for Veristand/LabVIEW 2016.

We currently think about a new system with a more current Veristand version where we also will need such Time Synchronization.

However, currently, only a TimeSync Custom Device for LabVIEW 2017 is provide.

(see https://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-VeriStand-Add-Ons-Documents/NI-VeriStand-Add-on-Chassis-TimeSync-Custom-...)

Will this device also be available for newer LabVIEW versions?

We currently consider a system with LabVIEW 2019.

There, I have seen that an own NI-TimeSync driver for LabVIEW 2019 does no longer exist (most recent version is 18.1.1).

However, the TimeSync functionality seems to be incorporated in the NI-Sync driver from 19.0 on

(see https://www.ni.com/de-de/support/documentation/supplemental/19/using-ni-timesync-to-configure-ieee-1... )

How does this TimeSync CustomDevice fit to that architecture change?

Does something have to be redisigned or when/how a CustomDevice-version for LabVIEW 2019 is available?

Thank you for any helpful solutions.

Hello,

I think that it changed name:
