Show LabVIEW VI Front Panel When Sequence Step Called

[dan_tuq]

Hello,

By clicking on the “Show VI Front Panel When Called” checkbox in the Step Settings pane displays the LabVIEW VI Front Panel for approximately 100 milliseconds. Is there a configuration way to display the VI front panel for a longer period of time, during that step execution, and allow the user to control the duration of the front panel exposure by clicking to resume execution of the sequence file at their will?

Thank you.

Hi,

You will need to have some sort of structure in your VI for handling front panel response, otherwise you front panel is only going to be visible for as long as it takes to execute an return back to teststand.

But remember, once you hold your step within that VI which is waiting on the operator to eventual close it, your Sequence will be held as well and if you are expecting steps to continue running after your VI then you will have to consider running it in parallel to your main test sequence.

You may also need to consider what happens if you want to terminate your Test Sequence, how do you close your VI.

hope this is of help
