bug fixes


114970 LIN Scheduler is started before the session resulting in 500 ms of no response frames.
When XNET is configured to be a LIN master, the LIN scheduler appears to start before the outgoing XNET sessions are started. This results in the LIN master scheduler transmitting headers while the master's slave task is unprepared to transmit responses. As a result, the receiving LIN interface will instead detect "No Response" frames.
Workaround:
If you do not need to inline outgoing frames, you can deselect this option and the issue will not occur

1069833 Show frame IDs in hexadecimal format setting not fully applied
Enabling the setting "Show frame IDs in hexadecimal format" does not completely apply. The frame ID field updates properly to hexadecimal, but does not have a radix added.
Workaround:
There is currently no known workaround for this issue.

1095791 Deployment error -200077 with a module configured for HWTSP and Sample Rate less than 5 Hz
When enabling "Slow Background Conversion Mode" for a module and setting the Sample Rate to be less than 5 Hz, deployment will fail with error -200077.
Workaround:
Set the "Sample Rate" to either -1 or any value greater or equal than 5 Hz.

1163059 VeriStand crashes when moving Alarm Indicator in or out of Tab Control on UI Screen
Dragging an Alarm Indicator that is mapped to an alarm in the System Definition in or out of a Tab Control results in VeriStand crashing with a NullReferenceException.
Workaround:
Avoid dragging the alarm-mapped control into or out of a tab control.

1131292 Input Stream Read Time property introduces jitter to the PCL
The Input Stream Read Time property applies to the Raw Frame Datalogging settings for an XNET configuration in VeriStand, however, it also can considerably affect the HP Loop Duration even when no raw-frame logging is enabled.
Workaround:
Un-inlining the incoming frames. If that is not possible, add a transceiver state channel to all ports with incoming frames, and map the sleep channel to a channel that remains 0.
VeriStand helps you get your hardware-in-the-loop or test cell control and monitoring system up and running faster. VeriStand provides integrated support for a range of NI-XNET devices, NI-DAQ devices, and NI FPGA targets. It also supports deploying to a range of targets, including PXI/PCI controllers, CompactRIO/Single-Board RIO, and desktop PCs.

With a wide range of out-of-the-box functionality that includes configurable data acquisition and logging, test sequencing, and the integration of Simulink models, VeriStand reduces the time needed to test your products. You can also use a variety of software tools to add custom functionality to VeriStand, which makes it flexible enough to adapt to even the most complex applications. Choosing VeriStand gives you the confidence that your test system will perform reliably while providing the flexibility you need to meet your real-time test requirements.

VeriStand provides a compiler toolchain plugin for Simulink Coder to generate shared libraries from Simulink models that VeriStand can run as part of an integrated hardware-in-the-loop test system on an NI real-time OS. Users can import the generated shared libraries into a VeriStand project and map the model inputs and outputs to CAN signals and analog I/O.
