Better solution to reload the VIs used in TestStand sequence, after changing the folder structure

Hello,

 

I have created a TestStand sequence, in which many VIs(created by myself) are used. And everytime I moved the VIs to a new folder, or renamed the folder or changed the folder structure of VIs, I must reload all the VIs in TS sequence. 

And I tried to creat a LV project with the VIs, it doesn't help. After changing the dependency, I must reload the project path for each VI.

Now my question is: Is there a better way to solve this problem? So that, I just need to reload the project/VI path for one VI. The other will automatically done? I don't know whether TestStand support such a solution?

Thank you very much.

Hi Wintersweet,

 

under "Tools >> Update VI/LV NXG VI Calls" you can find a tool that will update all calls automatically, if you choose an option like "Reload Prototype If Modified" or "Force Prototype Reload".

Checking the box "Report Steps With Errors Only" greatly reduces the log so you can solve potential problems easily.

In order for this to work you should make sure that the search directories contain the path to the new location.

Hi Ludwig,

thanks for replying so fast. I am trying it. In order to use 'update VI calls', I must config the Adapter to LabVIEW development module.

But then this error comes.

If I ignore it. And try to update VI calls

This sequence will run automatically and this error appears

What is wrong?

 

Thanks

Are you using Absolute Path?

If you are using Absolute Path use relative Path.

In the search Directory you can configure the directory path based on the location you used to keep your Files
