I tried to upgrade to version 7 and it broke all my existing veristand steps. I had to go back to version 6

It's hard to guess without more details.
After installing new Step Types you'll be prompted to upgrade the Step Type versions the next time you open/run/save your sequence files depending on your TestStand settings. Did you update the Types in your Sequence Files to use the new Types version?
Feel free to post more details including the error/behavior you are seeing with the updated steps.

Hi Andy,
Could you please confirm, if I am using the latest Version, will it be useful to solve my issue.
I am using v14.0.3.0. I am facing problem only in "Set Channel Value" step.

Hi Samraj, the Set Channel Value Step also has a timeout property in the latest version of the Step Types. Unfortunately the latest version is only built for VeriStand 2015 and later. Are you able to use a newer version of VeriStand?
01-20-2018 05:53 AM
Yeah Andy. I can update VeriStand to latest version and I will use the latest toolkit and will update you.

Error in Alarm Module Step
I was using the Alarm feature of the NI VeriStand 2013 in NI TestStand 2013 sequence with the help of "TS 2013 VS 2013 SP1" addon. The sequence have a loop to enable alarms, monitor alarms and disable alarms, and the loop repeats in particular interval of time. It was working perfect in NI 2013 version.
Later I upgraded to NI 2016 version (TestStand 2016, VeriStand 2016 and NI Veristand Add on version 16.0.6.0). Now the Alarm started triggering only for the first iteration of the loop and not triggering for subsequent iterations. It just enable and disable the alarm status (observed through the Alarm Monitor window of the VeriStand), but not triggering the alarm when the monitored value goes of the range. It is working perfect if we manually disable and enable the alarm from Alarm Monitor window.
Steps used
To enable and disable the alarm: Set Alarm State
To monitor alarm status: Get Alarm State

Hi RTLTTS, this should be fixed in version 7.2 available on the community page.

Does 7.2 support assigning local TestStand variables to RT sequence parameters?

Hi Robert, this should already be possible using the Step Properties fields rather than the Step Configuration GUI.
