How can I view TestStands Operator Interface front panel, from a VI, while a test is taking place.

[JD]

I need to view the sequences and steps that are displayed during a test session while running TestStand. Except I would like to view this in a LabVIEW front panel

TestStand ships with a couple run-time user interface written in LabVIEW. I would use these as a starting point for creating your own. Or are you trying to do something else? And do you know that the Developer Exchange also has a TestStand forum?

JD,

I'm not sure if you're asking to be able to view the actual code module's front panel (ie. VI front panel) while it's executing, or if you just want to see the steps and overall sequence in a VI front panel. If the latter is true then you can use the simple LabVIEW operator interface that ships with TestStand, as Dennis mentioned in his answer. This would indeed be a great place to start if you want to add any further functionality to the operator interface. If the former is true and you want to see the actual VI front panels of the steps as they execute, you can check that box "Show VI Front Panel" from the "Specify Module" window in TestStand.
