Do I need to use a LabVIEW OI with TestStand?

[nika05]

Hi All,

I'm working on a project which uses LV code modules within TestStand. It's been a while since I took my TestStand courses, and I never really used it in the interim.

When deploying a TestStand Sequence, do I need to use an OI? (like the examples provided) Or will I be able to run the TestStand sequence on the target machine itself, with just a generic OI?

I hope this makes sense!

You can use any UI, as long as your sequences aren't trying to do anything specific to the UI they are running in. It doesn't matter whether you use the C#, LabVIEW, etc... TestStand Example UI either. Often what I see is someone creates the sequence using the Sequence Editor, and then on the deployed machine (if they don't have the development license) they just use one of the out of the box example UIs, or a modified version of it.
