Preserve references after execution

[CRoebuck]

HI there,

I remember stumbling across a setting in TestStand several years ago to enable the preservation of references after execution (or something similar), it might have been discussed in the Actor Framework (LabVIEW course) 

Sorry, I can't remember the exact wording. 

Anyone remember where this is ?

What do you want the scope of these references to be?

A few things come to mind:

• Duplicating references: https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/teststand/page/duplicating-com-references-in-labview.html
• Depending on what is opening this reference (e.g. UI vs code module), then app instances come into play: https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/13/how-teststand-interacts-with-labview-app...
• Shared flag (probably not what you're looking for): https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/teststand-api-reference/page/tsapiref/propertyflags.html

Hope this helps!

The "Reserve Loaded VIs for Execution" setting in the LV adapter may also be what you're looking for:
