Inconsistent behavior in TestStand and TestStand UI for the same sequence file

Does this error only occur with abc.seq?

If yes, please post abc.seq. 

If no, check if the sequences are executable some other full featured UIs like the C#.

    If this works check the LabVIEW simple UI. If only the LV Us create the error, i'd say that you have a LV RTE issue.

    Make sure that the UI is completly in on version by loading the lvprj-file and do a masscompile on it.

    Rebuild the executable. Consider to use the same LV version as you use for your modules for this procedure.

hope this helps,

Hi Norbert,

Thank you for your reply.

I tried to repair 8.6, teststand 4.0 and mass compiled the full featured UI and simple UI but the problem continues:

Here are the details about abc.seq:

1. works (open, step selection, execute) fine on some other system in Teststand 4.0 and Labview 8.6

2. works (open, step selection, execute) fine in my system when used in teststand 4.0

3. works only for  (open, execute) when used in Full featured interface and Simple Interface

4. step selection does not work in Full featured; and the Labview application is closed with the same error.

So, the error is only occurring on your machine?

Could you please post the sequence?

thanks,

Norbert

Hi,

I notice that you are using the top level vi in labview rather than the built labview testexec.exe.

Have you tried the seq file using default built UI found by using the Start Button | All Programs....

On this particular machine, can you run any other sequence file with the LabVIEW UI? Have you tried executing abc.seq with another UI besides the LabVIEW UI?

I tried both the TopLevelVI and testexec.exe; but both of them were giving the same error. I never tried any other UI than Labview. 

Because the same sequence was working without any issue on some other system, I uninstalled and reinstalled TestStand 4.0 and same sequence is now working fine, in TestStand, testexec.exe, TopLevelVI – basically everywhere. I am not sure what was wrong with TestStand in my system, but definitely something wasn’t correct. 

Thank you for all the responses.
