NI TESTSTAND RUNTIME ENGINE DOWNLOAD FREE

This document discusses a deployment strategies using NI packages, installer technology, or a shared network drive. You can use the following approaches to ensure that both conditions are met:. This article explains the basic tasks and best practices involved in the process of migrating LabVIEW Code Modules from the development environment to a production system with a TestStand deployment. When deploying test code, you must ensure that all required dependencies of your code modules are included, and that files are deployed in the proper locations on disk so that they can be found by their callers. The steps are listed briefly below and detailed in the sections that follow. Do you need help with your order?

Once you have defined the set of files that you need to include in your test system deployment, you will need to runime a mechanism to distribute the files to production computers. You will always need to deploy the TestStand runtime, which contains the TestStand engine and supporting files.

Deploying LabVIEW Code Modules with NI TestStand

NET dependencies are deployed by deploying the folder containing your assemblies and dependencies. Drivers and Runtime Engines To execute sequences and test code on a production system, you must ensure that all required runtime engines runtimes and hardware drivers are installed. NET assemblies may reference dependent assemblies in the global assembly cache GACwhich can include assemblies that are installed with drivers or runtime software, but can also include your own code. Building an installer containing the required software.

When you install the package on a production computer, NI Package Manager will detect these dependencies and allow you to download and install these packages. Copy files locally from the network drive, using 3rd party tools to ensure that local files are synchronized with the drive.

For details of the items in the TestStand components directory, refer to the Components Directory help topic TestStand User Interfaces In order to run sequences on a deployed machine, you will need to deploy at least one user interface, since the Sequence Editor is only available on development machines. Choosing a Deployment Mechanism Once you have defined the set of files that you need to include in your test system deployment, you will need to choose a mechanism to distribute the files to production computers.

The following sections describe the following deployment mechanisms:. The steps are listed briefly below and detailed in the sections that follow.

May Part Number: The process for deploying these dependencies varies based on the module type. TestStand has five types of licenses, which can be separated into two different categories: Contact us for purchasing information.

The deployment of test systems is one of the most important pieces of test framework development, but is often overlooked until the end of development. Learn more about our privacy policy.

Copying Files Locally to Each Test Station You can also choose to create local copies of all deployment files, This approach has the following advantages: With a network drive deployment strategy, you use a shared repository to share files between development, staging, and production computers. Switch Executive is switch management and routing application software that accelerates development and simplifies the maintenance of switch systems. Include the sequence files that contain the test sequences you want to deploy in your workspace file.

The advantage of accessing files directly from a network drive is that when files are updated on the network drive, you ensure that the update is applied to all test computers. Create one or more packed project Libraries PPLs for your source files. Once the new version has been tested and validated, you can distribute it to production computers through traditional file transfer or through SystemLink. Use the deployment utility to create a deployable image or a patch deployment of a TestStand system and an optional installer.

You must also ensure that all test systems have the latest files before running any tests.

This level of granularity is sufficient for most deployments. This article explains the basic tasks and best practices involved in tesfstand process of migrating LabVIEW Code Modules from the development environment to a production system with a TestStand deployment.

The best approach for ensuring that deployed code is validated varies depending on how often updates need to be applied to test stations. Access to files on the network drive can be managed by a source code control hi.

Accessing Files Directly from a Network Drive The advantage of accessing files directly from a network drive is that when files are updated on the network drive, you ensure that the update is applied to all test computers.

To further ensure that no changes are made to validated files, you can add code to the test sequence to validate the teststane of all files.

If you deploy using the TestStand Deployment Utility, you can choose to detect and include the required version of Drivers and Runtimes that are referenced by code modules. You can also configure the deployment utility to remove VI block diagrams or to lock the VIs you deploy. In addition to runtims code, you must also deploy TestStand framework files.
