Export summary from Stimulus Profile Editor?

[GSinMN]

Hello All,

  Is anyone aware of any exporting functionality for the NI Veristand Stimulus Profile Editor?  In the interest of configuration management, I am trying to find a way to document what sequences are included in each profile, outside of the actual editor.  So far, the closest I have been able to get was to actually run a profile, and use the test results as a summary, but this contains lots of information that I wouldn't need.  I am aware that the profile files are in an XML format, but once again, this isn't really a summary.  Please advise.

Regards,

GSinMN

Hello GSinMN,

One option to read the sequences outside of the Stimulus Profile Editor would be to parse the Stimulus Profile (.nivsstimprof) xml file for the <Step xsi:type=”XXXX”/> section and extract the name of each step. I understand that the base xml file is not very easy on the eyes as a summary but extracting the steps is one option that can provide you with what you are looking for. Here is a link on how to parse XML files. I hope this helps.

Hello WearWolf,

  Thanks for the response.  I can not believe I did not think of that myself.  I bet I spent a month earlier this year figuring out how to parse xml files and restructure them into tdms files.  It works pretty slick after you learn how to do it.  Thanks for jogging my memory.
