Coverting an application from test executive to test stand.

[Tom Kelley]

I have used LabWindows CVI and the "test executive" toolkit to develop production test applications. The production operators who use the programs like the look and feel of the interface.

I want to convert to Test Stand so that I can support solutions written in languages other than CVI. How do I modify the test stand user inteface so that I get an identical operator interface?

Hi Tom,
There are two operator interfaces, the standard and the Simple operator interface. Since you were previously using Test Executive you will propably want to use the Simple Operator Interface. You can modify this by using the TestStand API. There is information abou how to do this in the TestStand Programmers help file under Writing and Application with the TestStand API

Hi Tom,

You can also convert your CVI test executive sequence files into Teststand sequence files. Under the Tools menu in the TS Sequence Editor you will find a wizard that performs the task for you. It will take the CVI callback functions and generated the equivilant TS Callback sequence calls. You may still have to make some manual changes, but you wont have to completely regenerate your original test sequences from scratch.
