Building installations to work together

[gizmogal]

We have built a custom operator interface (LV 6.1) that has hooks for the tests we expect to build. We have built an installation of this OI with a demo sequence (TS 2.0.1). What we would like to do now is to install an additional sequence for a specific module test in addition to the generic OI. So instead of grabbing all the code for the OI to make the module test build, we just want to do a smaller module test build and require that the generic OI already be installed. Is there a way to do that using the standard TestStand and LabVIEW build tools?

Hi gizmogal,

The two tools that are available for deployment on TS 2.0 are 1) the Assemble VIs for Run-time Distribution tool and 2) the Engine Installation Wizard.

If your sequence files do not use LabVIEW VIs then you can simply copy your sequence file and its dependent code modules over to your target machine. Otherwise, the Assemble VIs tool will help you get all the necessary VIs.
