Building a Sequence Using API - (XML) not possible

[NI_JW]

Hello,

I try to open the file <TestStand Public>\Examples\TestStand API\Building a Sequence Using API\TestStand Expressions\Building a Sequence Using API - XML.seq from the manual Building a Sequence Using API - TestStand Expressions (XML) - NI

Once I open this, there is an error massage saying "Found Analysis Errors". If I press Continue Execution, this Error message is shown (see picture attached): 

 The files mentioned should be there but I didnt find a fix online. Is this a known issue / is there a workaround or a fix ? 

Best Regards

Well, the error message states, that there seems to be a problem with LabVIEW Code Modules, which looks suspicously like a version problem.

Which LabVIEW Version(s) are you using?

Have you tried to open those VIs with LabVIEW only as the error message recommends?

[NI_JW]

I am using Labview 2021 and Teststand 2016.

I opened the VI already. There is also an unknown error. I will attach the picture.

I am wondering: these files are all examples from 2017, why should there be an issue ?

The error you are seeing here i due to running the VI not in its intendend environment.

But this means, that the file itself is executable.

CAn you share a screenshot of the LabVIEW Adapter Settings in TestStand?

I attached a picture of the Labview Adapter Configuration.

EDIT: after changing the Labview Development Version from 2017 to 2021, the same error occur.

Let's try something else....

please open the example .seq file.

Select the Read Sequence Data from XML File step and go to step settings.

Please try to open the VI from the Step Settings Pane (Edit VI button) and check if the VI is broken

There seems to be an issue there. Also, in Teststand there are three red lines.

I will attach both images.

OK, so there has been some kind of modification on the VI, hence the error message in LabVIEW.

It seems, this modification has caused TestStand to think, that the connector pane has changed, hence you have these red lines.

Those are easy to get rid off, but first you have to fix the error in the VI

Since the error messages complain about Cluster Operations, I guess this is the relevant part and what it should look like

Maybe start checking those typedefs...

[NI_JW]

I just checked - you are correct! Mine pane looks different. 

I didnt change these files (not that I know of) -> Is the original VI available somewhere ?

Repairing the TestStand installation might help... there might also be other stuff messed up

Guess your computer is rather not freshly installed, is it? Is there anything mission critical on your PC?
