Install And Use Newly Created Import Filter In Omicron Test Universe

Welcome to my page. This is the second part of the Omicron Import Filter tutorial series. In this tutorial, I will show you how install  and use the Import Filter that we've created in the previous tutorial in this series using two methods.  The first one via Test Object and the second one is via script.

Open the Visual Studio project called MyImportFilter that we created in the first part of tutorial which can be found here (Omicron Import Filter - Create New Filter). Once the project opened, right click on the project at the solution explorer the click Open Folder in File Explorer. The project file directory will open. Open the bin\Debug folder and you will find the two files in that folder (MyImportFilter.dll and SampleFilter.xriofilter). Create new folder in that directory and set the folder name to MyImportFilter.


Move the MyImportFilter.dll file to the MyImportFilter folder then, copy the MyImportFilter folder and the SampleFilter.xriofilter file. Navigate to %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\OMICRON\Test Universe\Apps\XRio\Filters for 32-bit or %PROGRAMFILES%\OMICRON\Test Universe\Apps\XRio\Filters for 64-bit then paste the MyImportFilter folder and the SampleFilter.xriofilter in the filters folder.


Now, download the OCC test document in this link (Omicron Control Center - Using Import Filter). This OCC test document was created in the previous tutorial (Omicron Control Center Custom Dialog - Change Data With Feedback).

Open the OCC test document then open the Test Object. From there we could access the import filter that we installed and run it. In the Test Object window, click the File>Import Relay Settings menu.


In the list, you will find the Sample Import Filter.


Select that filter then click OK button.


We have successfully execute the Import Filter via Test Object. Next I will show you how to execute the Import Filter using script.

Now open the Script window by clicking the Script View button at the View tab. Stop the script if running. Copy the code below and paste it to the very bottom of the script.

Const TEXT_IMPORT_SETTINGS As String = "Do you want to import the relay setting?"
Const USER_DIALOG_IMPORT_SETTINGD As String = "Import Relay Setting "

Public Sub ImportRelaySettings()
	On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
	Dim xrioapp As XRio
	Dim i As Integer
	Dim fil As Variant
	Dim Automation As Integer
	Dim IsImportFilterFound As Boolean

	IsImportFilterFound=False

	Automation=GenericMessageBox(TEXT_IMPORT_SETTINGS,USER_DIALOG_IMPORT_SETTINGD,1)

	If Automation = vbYes Then
		Set xrioapp = Document.TestObjects(1).Specific

		For i = 1 To xrioapp.XRioFilters.Count
			If xrioapp.XRioFilters(i).ID = "MyImportFilter.SampleFilter" Then
				IsImportFilterFound=True
				If xrioapp.XRioFilters(i).ShowParameterDialog(True) Then
					If xrioapp.XRioFilters(i).ExecuteImport Then

					End If
				End If
				Exit For
			End If
		Next
		If Not IsImportFilterFound Then
			MsgBox("No import filter installed on this computer for this test plan/routine.", vbOkOnly+ vbInformation,"Import Filter Not Installed")
		End If
		Set xrioapp = Nothing
		Document.TestObjects(1).CommitChanges
	End If
	Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
	MsgBox ("Importing relay settings cannot be perform." & vbNewLine & "Maybe the import filter was not installed.", vbOkOnly+ vbCritical,"Error")
End Sub

Public Function GenericMessageBox(Text As String, Title As String, style As Integer) As Integer
	'Parameters:
	'Text: The text prompted to the user
	'Title: Title of the Message Box
	'Style: Choose between two styles, 1 = YesNo with Yes as default and question mark, 2 = OkCancel with Ok as default and information icon

	Dim MsgBoxStyle As Integer

	If style = 1 Then
		MsgBoxStyle = vbYesNo Or vbDefaultButton1 Or vbQuestion
	ElseIf style = 2 Then
		MsgBoxStyle = vbOkCancel Or vbDefaultButton1 Or vbInformation
	End If

	GenericMessageBox = MsgBox(Text,MsgBoxStyle,Title)
End Function

Highlight the ImportRelaySetting procedure as shown in the image below then click the User Commands button under Tools group. Check on the Show as button, set the display name to Import Relay Settings and set the tooltip to Click here to import the relay settings. Then, click Add button and close the user commands dialog box.


Close the Script window by clicking the Back to Report View button and check the Home tab, the Import Relay Settings command should be added in the ribbon menu.


Now, click the Import Relay Settings button then click Yes button to continue.


We have successfully executed the Import Filter using the script. In the next tutorial, I will show you how to create a user interface (UI) for this Import Filter and I will show you how to access the Test Object parameters in the user interface (UI). See you next time.

Micom SE Studio1 Import Filter - Creating User Interface (UI)

Welcome to my page and welcome to the continuation of Omicron Import Filter tutorial series. In this tutorial, I will show you how to create the actual import filter fom Micom relays. In this tutorial, we will focus on the Visual Studio program. We're going to modify the codes in our project called MyImportFilter that we've created in the previous tutorial.  Download the project in this link  MyImportFilter - Process Relay Setting Parameters . Extract and open the project. Once the project is loaded, add New Folder inside the project and set the name to SEStudio1. We need this to make organize our project class filter.  SE Studio 1 stands for Schneider Electric Studio 1 which is the software that used in communicating MiCOM relays particularly P12x series. And yes we're going to create a new import filter and user interface form MiCOM P12x series relay. I think this will applied to other MiCOM P series relay. Add a new Form inside the  SEStudio1 folder...
