Overview



This document contains the TestStand ATML Toolkit 2010 known issues that were discovered before and since the release of TestStand ATML Toolkit 2010. Not every issue known to NI will appear on this list; it is intended to only show the severe and more common issues that can be encountered.

Each Issue appears as a row in the table and includes these fields:

  • Issue ID - the number at the top of each of the cells in the first column. When you report an issue to NI, you may be given this ID, you can also find IDs posted by NI on the discussion forums or in Knowledge Base articles.
  • Issue Title: in italics - it describes the issue in one sentence or less
  • Problem Description - a few sentences which describe the problem in further detail. The brief description given does not necessarily describe the problem in full detail, and it is expected that you might want more information on an issue. If you would like more information on an issue feel free to contact NI (contact information below) and reference the ID number given in the document.
  • Workaround - possible ways to work around the problem. The workarounds that appear in the document are not always tested by NI and are not guaranteed to resolve the issue. If a workaround refers you to the NI KnowledgeBase, please visit www.ni.com/kb/ and enter that KB number in the search field to locate the specific document.
  • Reported Version - the earliest version of TestStand ATML Toolkit the issue was reported in. If you discover the issue appears in an earlier version of TestStand ATML Toolkit than is reported in this field, you can report that to NI (contact information below) to have the field updated.
  • Resolved Version - version the issue was resolved or was no longer applicable. If an issue has not been resolved "N/A" will be reported.
  • Date Added - the date the issue was added to the document (not necessarily the reported date)

IDKnown Issue
277922

Return
The translator might hang if you use the TestStand API to programmatically open a TD file
The translator might hang when you use the Engine.GetSequenceFileEx() or ApplicationMgr.OpenSequenceFile() methods to open a TD file if the TestStand Sequence Editor loses focus but then regains focus during translation.

Workaround: N/A

Reported Version: 2010  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/11/2011
303276

Return
The translator might incorrectly create a backup code module when incrementally updating a LabVIEW code module for a TD file that contains an array element
If you configure the translator to create LabVIEW code modules, translate a TD file that contains an array <TestResult> element, and then perform an incremental update on the previously translated sequence file, the translator incorrectly creates a backup of any code modules that contain array parameters even though the TD file has not changed.

Workaround: N/A

Reported Version: 2010  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/11/2011
304392

Return
The translator removes local variables during an incremental update if you modify the actionID attribute of an <ActionReference> child element of a <TestGroup> element of the TestGroupParallel type
The TD file contains an <Action> element with an ID attribute value of "action1." and also contains an <ActionReference> child element of a <TestGroup> element of the TestGroupParallel type with an actionID attribute value of "action1." When you translate the TD file to a sequence file, change the value of the ID attribute of the <Action> element to "action2," change the value of the actionID attribute of the <ActionReference> element to "action2," and then perform an incremental update, the translator incorrectly removes the local variables the translator had previously created and assigned to parameters of the step created within the TestGroupParallel sequence.

Workaround: When you modify the value of the ID attribute of the <Action> element and the value of the actionID attribute of the <ActionReference> element, you must also modify the value of the name attribute of the <Action> and <ActionReference> elements. Alternatively, you can manually add the required local variables to the TestGroupParallel sequence.

Return
When you install the ATML Toolkit 2010 silently, the ATMLTDTranslator.dll fails to register
When you install the ATML Toolkit 2010 silently, the ATMLTDTranslator.dll file located in the <TestStand Public>\Components\Translators directory fails to register.

Workaround: When the silent installation completes, use the command prompt to the run regsvr32 command to manually register the ATMLTDTranslator.dll file.
