Dear Radimation support,

Is there any Keyword to get the 'Device drivers versions' in the RG? I have seen this topic viewtopic.php?f=15&t=116 and the links it references, but I cannot find a Keyword for the RG. Also in http://wiki.dare.nl/wiki/index.php/Chapter_13 I could not find it, only the specific driver versions for each instrument.

Best regards,
Nicolás.-

Hello Nicolás,

There are indeed report generator keywords to get the 'Device Drivers versions' information into the report.

Assume that the following information is available in a device driver configuration: Every entry that is included in the additional device driver information can be retrieved. The code to retrieve it is: ||<TEST>|<DEVICE_USAGE> EXTRA INFORMATION <INFORMATION_FIELD>||
Where:

• <TEST> is a reference to the test you want the report generator to use
• <DEVICE_USAGE> is the device you want the information from. This can be: AMPLIFIER, SIGNAL GENERATOR, ANTENNA, COUPLER, FORWARD POWERMETER, REFLECTED POWERMETER, and so on...
• <INFORMATION_FIELD> is the name of the field you want to retrieve. This can thus be:
  • BRAND
  • DESCRIPTION
  • DEVICE DRIVER DLL VERSION
  • DEVICE DRIVERS INSTALLATION DATE
  • DEVICE DRIVERS VERSIONS
  • HARDWARE VERSION
  • ID
  • SERIAL NUMBER
  • SOFTWARE VERSIOn
  • TYPE

Some examples:
AMPLIFIER EXTRA INFORMATION DEVICE DRIVER DLL VERSION: ||A_TEST|AMPLIFIER EXTRA INFORMATION DEVICE DRIVER DLL VERSION||
AMPLIFIER EXTRA INFORMATION SOFTWARE VERSION: ||A_TEST|AMPLIFIER EXTRA INFORMATION SOFTWARE VERSION||
AMPLIFIER EXTRA INFORMATION HARDWARE VERSION: ||A_TEST|AMPLIFIER EXTRA INFORMATION HARDWARE VERSION||
AMPLIFIER EXTRA INFORMATION DEVICE DRIVERS VERSIONS: ||A_TEST|AMPLIFIER EXTRA INFORMATION DEVICE DRIVERS VERSIONS||
AMPLIFIER EXTRA INFORMATION DEVICE DRIVERS INSTALLATION DATE: ||A_TEST|AMPLIFIER EXTRA INFORMATION DEVICE DRIVERS INSTALLATION DATE||
FORWARD POWERMETER EXTRA INFORMATION DEVICE DRIVER DLL VERSION: ||A_TEST|FORWARD POWERMETER EXTRA INFORMATION DEVICE DRIVER DLL VERSION||
FORWARD POWERMETER EXTRA INFORMATION SOFTWARE VERSION: ||A_TEST|FORWARD POWERMETER EXTRA INFORMATION SOFTWARE VERSION||
FORWARD POWERMETER EXTRA INFORMATION HARDWARE VERSION: ||A_TEST|FORWARD POWERMETER EXTRA INFORMATION HARDWARE VERSION||
FORWARD POWERMETER EXTRA INFORMATION DEVICE DRIVERS VERSIONS: ||A_TEST|FORWARD POWERMETER EXTRA INFORMATION DEVICE DRIVERS VERSIONS||
FORWARD POWERMETER EXTRA INFORMATION DEVICE DRIVERS INSTALLATION DATE: ||A_TEST|FORWARD POWERMETER EXTRA INFORMATION DEVICE DRIVERS INSTALLATION DATE||

It is even possible to get any field that is manually added. In the above screenshot also the 'Custom Field' is available. The corresponding report generator keyword is:
AMPLIFIER EXTRA INFORMATION CUSTOM FIELD: ||A_TEST|AMPLIFIER EXTRA INFORMATION CUSTOM FIELD||

I hope that this clarifies what is possible, and this answers your question.

Best Regards,
John
