Adding a Entrypoint String in NI_ParallelModel Data (Teststand 4.2)

[donurbano]

Hi,

I am converting a 2012 Parallel model sequence into a Teststand 4.2 Parallel Model.

First issue I saw is the insert field in the Parameters('Pre UUT').Modeldata, is greyed out. Basically I would like to add the string "EntryPoint".

The  Parameters('Pre UUT').Modeldata is passed by reference, type is NI_ParallelModelData which is similar to 2012 parallel model.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

Could you please give us a little more insight as to the desired end functionality? Is there a particular reason why you'd like to modify this? This would help in pointing you to the best/easiest to implement option. Thanks!

Again, more information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Daniel,

I am downgrading existing 2012 Test exec with custom interface to 2009 equivalent version.

The custom interface in 2012 needs the Entrypoint field in the parameters.modeldata (type NI_ParallelModelData2)

In 2012, the custom interface is called at DoPreUUT, but in 2009, it does not use DoPreUUT, but I can give a try to mimic it.

Then in the parameters.modeldata it does not have entrypoint field.

Where is the menu for the migrating from 2012 process model to 2009 process model?

Thanks!

There is a legacy model switcher utility in TestStand 2012 and later to switch to the old style of process model. It is in the start menu until Tools->Compatibility.
