Are LabView 7.0 and Teststand 2.0 compatible?

[Lobo_Louie]

I tried a very simple Digital I/O vi using named channels, but Teststand 2.0 doesn't seem to recognize the channel name. LabView 7.0 sees the channels and toggles bits accordingly.

(hopefully this makes since, I don't have LabView at hand, so I'm going by memory)

Hi,

Are you referring to not being able to pass the channel via the connector pane of the VI called from TestStand 2.0.

If this is the case, TestStand 2.0.x has a limited number of ways of interfacing to the Called VI's connector pane and those connectors and indicators you will find in the LabVIEW palette. Those controls consist of
Input Buffer
Invocation Info
Sequence Context
Test Data
and
Error Out

Therefore, to pass your Channel data, you could use the Input Buffer control, if you where using one of the Test VI's, but you will probably need to use the API function VI's such as TestStand - Get Property Value (String).VI.

You will find examples of passing values to a VI in some of the TestStand\Examples folders.

Hope this helps
