Loading subpanels in a vi with TST

What is the best way to I load a vi with a subpanel  vi entry from TST and keep it open untill cleanup of the sequence file?  While the vi is kept open, I want to give a file path parameter in each step of my sequence to that vi, to load a new subpanel in it.

Hello JoVMo,

 

So what you want to do is the following:

You want to have a main VI with a subpanel inside it.

The VI loaded in this subpanel should be changed depending on the step of the sequence you're currently in.

 

Is this what you are looking for?

Yes Thierry,

 

 

I figured something out by passing the sequence context to the Top vi. 

 

I'm looking for a decent way to pass measurements back from the subpanel to the sequence..?

Hello JoVMo,

 

It seems to me like you're looking to create some kind of custom User Interface.

 

Can you take a look at the following Tutorial and tell me if this is what you're looking for?

 

PS: please correct me if my assumptions are in any way wrong.

Thierry,

 

 

Could you be so kind to post the link to the tutorial  again. Because this link redirect me to a site that has nothin with ni.

 

I think I need a custom GUI. Because I require lots of interaction from an operator.

 

But I can't figure out what approach I must take.
