Complete TestStand Bootcamp: Learn TestStand from Scratch

Explore the TestStand bootcamp by downloading the Windows version of the software in English, selecting the edition, then unzip, run the installer, and restart your computer.

Explore TestStand basics by navigating the desktop, viewing the main sequence, and learning setup, main, and cleanup sections with parameters, variables, and saving your first program.

Master flow control by defining conditions and using for and while loops, and learn the basic power equation P equals V times I.

Create a TestStand sequence from scratch by initializing inputs, computing power as voltage times current in the body, displaying the result, and performing cleanup to generate a test report.

Explore the if condition in TestStand flow control and calculate power as voltage times current, displaying results with popups.

Explore a for loop example that increments a local current by 10, computes power as voltage times current, and uses step messages and breakpoints to show iterations.

Explore TestStand variables and parameters, create number, string, and boolean parameters, learn naming rules, and send values between sequences using parameters instead of globals through a hands-on example.

Learn how a container holds variables of different types—numbers, strings, and booleans—and perform power calculations by multiplying voltage and current, with practical demonstrations.

Explore variables and arrays in TestStand, define voltage and current containers, set bounds, and compute electrical power in a loop with stepwise iteration and debugging breakpoints.

Explore variables, arrays, and strings in a TestStand program, using local variables and runtime evaluation to control execution with validation and defined expressions.

The lecture explains that mechanical power equals rotational speed times torque, introduces torsion as twisting about the shaft axis, and demonstrates the P = (2πN T)/60 formula for calculations.

Learn to create and open sequences in TestStand, define rotational speed, torque, and mechanical power, and run main and biomechanical sequences.

Learn to create and rename subsequences, pass variables across sequences, and calculate electrical power (current times voltage) and mechanical power (torque and speed) within the main sequence.

Explore an additional exercise in the complete TestStand bootcamp that demonstrates building a TestStand sequence to compute mechanical power, electrical power, and total power from an array of numbers.

Explore run mode options in TestStand, including normal, skip, force to pass, force to fail, and tip, then observe breakpoints, set next step to cursor, and total power calculations.

Calculate total power by summing electrical and mechanical power using voltage, current, rotational speed, and torque, then verify it against a numeric limit in TestStand.

Learn to run and debug TestStand sequences, using run modes, breakpoints, and stepping (step in, step over, step out), with runner mode and forced to pass or fail.

Demonstrate test types in TestStand, including pass/fail, numerical limits, and string value tests, configure data sources, run and resume sequences, and observe pass or fail outcomes.

Configure a clean TestStand workspace by learning how to reset the UI configuration, move steps, drag and drop elements, and restore the default layout for consistent sequencing.

Learn to customize the message pop-up in TestStand by adjusting font size, background color, and phone color and size, then save and run the file to see changes.

Join the TestStand bootcamp to learn how to use the message pop up feature to display images or web links. Configure buttons and variables to tailor popup behavior.

Learn how to use result processing in TestStand to view detailed test histories, configure options, create plugins, and tailor reports including serial numbers in SDMI format.

Learn how to call LabVIEW from TestStand by creating a LabVIEW operation, wiring inputs and outputs, and handling errors to execute a LabVIEW VI within a test sequence.
