[VeriStand] Extend the scale type

Status: New Submitted by Member on 09-01-2017 04:38 AM Comment

The types of scale is limited to lookup table, polynomial and thermocouple.

For thermocouple the scale is only available for input (electrical -> physical).

It will be interesting to add other scales, like thermocouple on output, time to frequency (1/x).

The best will be the capability to define custom scale.

Workspace Screen Access Restriction for the Operator

Status: New Submitted by Member on 07-12-2012 12:44 AM Comment

Hello Folks,

 

As a developer, I use to have several screens for Test data display, Manual panel, Model execution control panel, etc. As per to the operator any screen other than Test data display is unnecessary.

 

It will be really good, if we could include the Screen selection in the "User Accounts Manager" with respect to the users like shown below

This option lets the administrator to select the specific screens whichever is necessary for the operator.

Hello,

 

It would be nice to be able to control the stimulis from a workspace screen.

 

It would be nice to had a control like this ...

The stimulus list could be filled according to the content of a Project directory. (Project Root / Stimulis )

 

Thanks.

Can not move files by drag&drop in Project Explorer

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 01-30-2012 05:49 AM Comment

Now you can't drag&drop to move sequence files in Project Explorer. To workaround this, you have to add files under folders after creating folders. The way to workaround is time-consuming.

 

Thanks,

Support All Byte Aligned Fixed-Point Datatypes

Status: New Submitted by Member on 06-30-2014 02:44 PM Comment

VeriStand suppot 32 and 64-bit aligned fixed point data: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372846G-01/veristandmerge/creating_custom_fpga_configuration_file/.  Please add support for FXPU8, FXPI8, FXPU16, and FXPI16.  This can potentially reduce the number of DMA reads/writes by 4.

Prompt before deleting missing references

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 03-07-2013 02:56 PM Comment

Whenever I delete a signal (whether it's a custom device, user channel, calculated channel, etc.), VeriStand goes through to delete that signal from anything referencing it. This is often nice but at times undesirable because I may plan to add it back again at a later time with a new custom device with the same signal names, for example. The auto deletion of all references means that I'd need to go back to relink all of the broken references even if the missing signal gets restored later anyway. Some of my channels are used in 20+ places.

 

I'd like to see VeriStand prompt me or give me an option as to whether I want to delete all references. If I choose not to delete the reference, I understand that an error will show up later if I try to deploy or run. Thanks.

Select Multiple Objects.

Status: In Development Submitted by Member on 01-21-2013 03:04 PM 2 Comment

There need to be a way to select multiple objects and move them around on the Veristand Workspace.  Moving multiple objects using coordinates is just too cumbersome.

Searching for occurrences of variables or expressions

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 08-24-2012 08:37 PM Comment

I have a system definition of over a thousand signals. I see that VeriStand 2011 has some search functionality built in. Is there a way to search not just ni the channel names but for the use of particular variables within calculated channels? For example, if I have UserVar1, I'd like to be able to find all occurrences of where UserVar1 is used. It could be an argument in a Calculated Channel, a mapping destination, an alias, etc. Is there a search tool that can accomplish this? Thanks.

Workspace Controls with icon

Status: In Development Submitted by Active Participant on 02-21-2012 06:49 AM 1 Comment

Hello,

 

Current Workspace Controls display only text, but it is not easy for users to recognize which is which. If icons display together, usability must be improved so much.

Search and filter tool in stimulus profile logging

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 03-19-2013 12:22 PM Comment

In most places around VeriStand, channels can be searched and filtered. However, in the channel logging pane of the simulus profile editor, one must manually dig down through the nodes and select channels independently which requires users to know exactly where the channels are in the structure. This is a pain for large systems (we have 4000 channels including CAN and 2000 channels excluding CAN). Thank you.

NI Veristand Workspace Navigation

Status: In Development Submitted by Member on 02-21-2013 03:22 PM 1 Comment

When you resize the Workspace in the current version of NI Veristand say to half the width of your computer screen, if you need to read a numerial input or numerical display or a dial on the other side of the workspace you would have to maximize the workspace. It would be nice to have horizontal and vertical scroll bars such that when you resize the NI Veristand workspace you could view the other half of the screen with out maximizing the workspace again.

Recommended Upgrade Path for VeriStand

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 11-29-2017 09:10 AM Comment

Currently there is no specific upgrade path for VeriStand. This affects code reuse and portability when trying to keep up with the latest version. It's understandable that there are going to be limitations, but lack of documentation makes this task very difficult.

Output 1st-order signal with Real-Time Sequence calling CSV files

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 01-18-2012 09:52 AM 8 Comment

When CSV file is imported to stimulus profile editor, VeriStand outputs the 0th-order signals drawn in blue. However, my customer wants to output the 1st-order signals in red. That would be best to select 0th/1st-order hold depending on the applications. Do you have a plan to support this feature in the near future?
According to this link, the Stimulus Profile Editor generates a real-time sequence from a CSV file.  So it would be very nice to have this feature in VeriStand 🙂

Subsequences of stimulus profiles should be able to access system definition channels directly

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 04-27-2013 02:43 AM 2 Comment

Say I have profileA which calls sequenceB which calls sequenceC. sequenceC needs to access UserChannelX defined in the system definition. Currently, the only way to do so, I believe, is to pass UserChannelX into sequenceC as a parameter which means it needs to be defined as a parameter in sequenceB as well, even if it's not used in sequenceB. This greatly increases the number of arguments of a sequence which may never be used but is necessary in order to give the lowest sequence access to system definition channels. It seems like we should make sytem definition channels directly available at any subsequence level (sort of like how global variables can be referenced anywhere). Thank you.

Recommended Install Set for Veristand

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant Active Participant on 03-22-2013 03:09 AM Comment
When you install LabVIEW RT to a compactRIO you can/used to get recommended software sets to install e.g. Standard, minimal, scan mode. <br><br>We should have one for Veristand which includes Veristands required elements but not additional packages which could increase the jitter of the system.

Edit Workspace Channel mappings through the manage items window

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 03-08-2013 04:01 PM Comment

The only way to change channel mappings to control and indicators is to right click on each control to change the channel. The work around is to use alias for each workspace item and them modify the alias from the system definition.

 

I think another more convenient option would have the operator use the manage items window from the screen tab to select which channels to display on the workspace. It already shows all the channels connected but it would add plenty of functionality if you could change the mappings from this window also.

 

tldr: Screen>>Manage Items... - ability to change channel mappings

Add an Example Finder for VeriStand in the Help Menu

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 01-27-2013 08:58 PM Comment

Although many examples exist for VeriStand. They are not easy to find for new users unless they are shown where they are. If they have been using other NI Software , they would likely go to the Help>Find Examples option in the splash/development menu options. In LabVIEW,

 

lvyesfindexamples.png

 

This menu option does not exist in VeriStand.

 

nofindexamples.PNG

 

Giving access to these Examples from the load screen would be helpful for new customers who are getting started and existing customers looking to do a quick test. Navigating for a specific example can be a bit tedious at times because they don't all exist in the same level. Like Sinewave Delay and Engine Demo for instance.

NI VeriStand Embedded Data Logger Receive Time should be saved in a format such that Excel can display it directly as a time stamp

Status: New Submitted by Member on 11-26-2012 02:33 AM 1 Comment

Hello

 

I have encountered problems while converting the Embedded Data Logger Receive Time information from VeriStand in double format into a Excel time stamp.

 

When I am introducing my logging data in .tdsm format I was not able to convert it into a "normal" time stamp with date and time information using the excel cell categories concerning time and data options. My solution to that was a exectuable which the NI support has generated for me. Otherwise it was not possible to me to make this conversion.

 

Either NI should publish the algorithm how to convert this double value into a "normal" time stamp or there should be a possibility to log the data in a easiliy understandble way for Excel to convert it.

 

Best greetings

Lukas Nowak
