Hi guys.
I'm trying to learn how to use Teststand. I have read the Getting Started and practiced the exercises suggested but since I have never seen this software I still have some troubles.
I'm interested to use teststand with labview. The idea is to develope a driver to comunicate with one instrument.
Usually when I realize a driver, I think to a state machine with 3-4 states:
1- interrogation/identification
2- reset-configuration
3- acquisition
4- close/handling error.
The first question is: if I want to use teststand should I create a VI for each state of the state machine?
Watching the exercises suggested, when I execute them is opened a panel where I can choose which test I want to fail. The question is how can I create a panel like this where place all the buttons / controlls I need? In my labview driver I give to the user the chance to choose for example between two different kind of execution (manual/automatic) by clicking on the button-control handled by an Event Case. Is it possible to do this thing also in teststand?
Sorry for these questions.... If you have more guides that I should read they are welcome.
