Configuring test sequence for paralled execution

[Gops]

Hi,

I have 5 DUT's to be tested simultaneously. I have set of test cases written in labview. The 5 DUT's uses different analog and digital ports no common or shared hardware. I am planning to use test stand to configure the sequence for each of these DUT's. I would like to build a HMI in Labview to choose which are the DUT's connected and then press start. Then the sequence in teststand has to be loaded from labview and testing should proceed. Finally the report should be stored in the hard disk and results to be displayed in the GUI.

I would like to know whether this can be achieved through labview and teststand. I am not sure whether labview can call the teststand sequences acting as an interface for the user.

Can you give your suggesstion on this statergy?

Regards

Gopal

Gops,

That is exactly what the operator interfaces do.  NI ships a couple of labview operator interfaces with source code.  I would check out the simple operator interface to see how they create a LabView VI that will start and execute a teststand sequence using the teststand activeX engine.  Go here to see them...

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.0\OperatorInterfaces\NI\Simple\LabVIEW

If you want to start modifing the code I would copy it to the user folder.  Upgrades to teststand wont overwrite this folder but they will overwrite the NI folder.
