Hi Kevin,

I installed Version 2.2 just to have an update version. Now, my program doesn't work anymore. I have the same problem at set/get channel value. Here is my screenshot:

Can you please help me?

Thanks, Rajamodol

Hey Rajamodol,

Looks like you will also need to add the Open References step to the start of your sequence.  Let me know if that doesn't resolve the issue.

Hi Kevin,

If i have sequence file from separate file, shall i add open references step to every sequence files?

Thanks, Rajamodol

Yes, the globals don't populate between separate sequence files.  I am working on a better way to handle that for multiple sequence files but don't have anything in place yet.

Hi Kevin,

I think.. at this moment, i better to use Version 201. There will be lots of work if i install Version 220. It is not only to add Open References step for every sequence  but also so far, Version 220 has different variable name at Step.Result.XXX (e.g., Get Channel Value)..

I hope the mature version of this AddOn will be coming soon............

Thanks for your great work, anyway.....!!

Hey Kevin,

is there a possibility to access parameters or local variables which I created in Veristand to work with them in Teststand? I´ve got an run-time problem and want to make sure that the RT-sequence is finished runnig before the next Teststand-step will be executed...

Thanks!

Hey Michi,

The way I usually set that up is to look at the sequence state property of the RT Sequence.  Post 18 in this thread shows an example of how to do that.  The sequence object also has a Variables property which contains parameters and local variables.  I am not sure you will be able to access this at run time though.

Hey Kevin,

I tried to do it this way but I got a problem. I´m running not a RT-Sequence but a stimulus profile and want to check if it finished. Does it normally work anyway with the "Get Sequence Step"- maybe if I use the status of the last RT-sequence of the stimulus profile?? How can I get the right loop condition with the right ID for the RT-Sequence? So far it always looks nearly like this...

 

Thanks a lot!

Hey Michi,

I hadn't tried to get the state when running that way.  It won't work out of the box.  I think you can make it work without too many changes though. 

I think what you will need to do is modify the Run Stimulus Profile state to save the stimulus profile object locally:

Then on that existing object you can get the state property:

Let me know if you run into issues with that.
