Set current Labview version

[Gary_H]

Hi,

If a PC has 2 (Development) versions of Labview installed, e.g. Labview 2010 and Labview 2012 , how does Teststand know which Labview Adapter to use ?

I'm wanting to avoid the situation where an Operator logs on (Windows), has to open then close Labview 2012, then open the Teststand Operator Interface.

If not followed then the Operator Interface opens Labview 2010 which is not wanted. 

I appreciate I could delete the older version of Labview and that each operator only has to open/close Labview 2012 once.

Is there an All User/Public setting in Win XP and 7 which can be modified ?

Regards,

Gary.

Or you could deploy your automation so it doesn't use the development environment and it will autodetect the correct version of the LV RTE.

If set to development environment, TestStand will use the active version of LabVIEW.  I think this might shed some light: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Change-currently-active-LV-version-in-batch-script/m-p/2422750#M7474...

Here is another link about it all:

Thanks for the links in your reply.

There was a mention of the Testexec.ini file which jogged my memory about configuring the Adapters.

In the TS Editor, select Configure -> Adapters -> (dialogue box opens) -> select 'Labview' -> Configure -> (dialogue box opens)

The last dialogue box has several options to determine which Labview version or environment is to be used.

The choices made are stored in Testexec.ini which is applicaple to all users, (Editor or Operator Interface).
