Split execution window in Operator Interface

Hi,
   I'm using the NI Parallel Model to test 3 UUTs and I want to use the LV Operator Interface. How can I configure or modify the LV OI in order to see my 3 sockets in paralel while my sequence run?
 
Thanks,

Angel,

You will need to add and configure an 'Execution View' Active X control and an 'ExecutionView Manager' Active X object for each socket (execution) that you want to view in parallel.  I did this for a two socket OI once.  The part I found the most tricky was handling the serial number entry for the sockets and also pragmatically setting the correct socket execution to the correct view.

Hi Paul,

could you send me this example in LV 7.1 please?

Thanks,

Unfortunately I can not.  I developed it in my last contract job, and while I did keep a copy for myself, it was written in LV 8.20.  I currently don't have a copy of LV8.2 so I can't even view it (my current contract uses LV 7.0).  Also, I don't feel comfortable distributing the OI without modification because it does have company info from that contract job that I would want to remove first.

However, I can answer as many questions that I have answers to.  In fact, I have posted on this forum asking/answering questions about creating that OI that may also answer your questions.

I would suggest using the LV simple OI as a starting point if you haven't already.  Then create a copy of the controls are passed into the subvi "Simple OI - Configure ExecutionView Manager.vi".  Create anoter copy of the subvi and pass all controls to that subvi the same as the existing one.  The should get you started with a second execution viewer. 

One other think I found with the example OI's is that the controls that are already there don't seem be resizable for some reason.  I think I ended up replacing them (all the controls are in the teststand pallette of labview).

Hope this helps in getting you started.
