Outcomes
  • ✅ 1. Understand the TestStand Architecture Describe the core components of NI TestStand Explain how TestStand integrates with external code (e.g., LabVIEW, C/C++, Python) Understand the role of the sequence editor and run-time engine ✅ 2. Create and Execute Test Sequences Build basic and multi-step sequences Add and configure different step types (e.g., numeric limits, pass/fail, action steps) Use preconditions, flow control, and looping to control sequence logic Execute sequences manually or programmatically ✅ 3. Work with Variables and Expressions Define and use local, file-level, and station global variables Use expressions to control execution flow and evaluate test results ✅ 4. Debug and Troubleshoot Test Sequences Use breakpoints, single-stepping, and watch windows Analyze runtime errors and fix common sequence issues ✅ 5. Generate and Customize Reports Enable automatic report generation Customize the format (e.g., HTML, XML, ATML, TXT) Log test data to files or databases ✅ 6. Integrate External Code Modules Call LabVIEW VIs, DLLs, or scripts from Python/C++ Pass data between TestStand and external code modules ✅ 7. Use Process Models (Introductory Level) Understand the basics of the built-in TestStand process models (e.g., Sequential, Batch) Execute sequences using a process model ✅ 8. Prepare for Deployment (Overview Level) Understand basic deployment concepts for sharing sequences Export a sequence for use on another system ✅ 9. Apply Best Practices Follow naming conventions and documentation standards Reuse and modularize code and sequences Use TestStand features efficiently to reduce development time ✅ 10. Boost Career Readiness Gain skills relevant to automation and test roles in electronics, aerospace, automotive, and other industries Be prepared to support or develop automated test systems in a professional environment
