How to Remove/Add in/out port for Test Stand VI

[jyce]

Ok - This is probably something stupid, but i can not really find a basic example to understand what's wrong.

I just want to create a Test Stand VI, that in adition to the basic IO, use extra IOs for configuration for example. Here is what i do

1 - Create a new Pass/Fail VI from Test Stand

2 - LabVIEW start by itself, show my VI

3 - I put a basic "Not" logic, and connect the input to the logic

4 - Save

5 - Reload the Prototype in TS, and here my new input does not shows up.

I do not believe that i can make this any simpler. Could someone explained what is wrong here.

Did you add the new input of your VI to the connector pane in LabVIEW?

I created the controls in LV.

I also tried, to basicly, in the Same VI, cut a port, then past it. Then when i refresh the prototype, thecut/past port is removed in test stand interface.

It sounds like you do not have your controls hooked up to your connector pane in LabVIEW.  TestStand will read all controls and indicators that are currently connected to the connector pane.  Attach your VI or an example VI if you are still stuck and describe what you expect to see and what is missing.

When you create a VI using the "Create VI" function in TS. Output ports are not connected and still shows up in TS.

I attached the simplest example in the world. What i expect to get in TS after i update the prototype is to have the same output as the initial one + an new input that allow me to control my output flag.

When you create a VI, the indicator are most definitely wired to the connector pane - just like your example. You should perhaps study the 'Using LabVIEW with TestStand' manual. Understanding the connector pane is covered in LabVIEW basics and perhaps you should take that tutorial. Allen told you twice that you did not have the new indicator wired. You don't have that. Do that simple operation.

I have been trough the Basic Tutorial of LV, LV with TS, and TS. And i do remember doing this simple task for a cluster, and it was working great. When i rebrowse the Tutorial to try to understand i could not catch my mystake. I will have to go trough step by step to make sure i get it.

Thanks for your help.
