TestStand: Best method for opening a LabVIEW based code module's Front Panel dynamically from custom LabVIEW OI

[Henkka82]

Hi,

I'm using TestStand 2012 and LabVIEW 2012. I have created a LabVIEW based custom OI which is running on dev. environment currently. My problem is that I would like to open code module's Front Panel (LV based) which TS is currently executing and I'm searching best method to do this.  I searched method to do this from TestStand's LabVIEW API, but unfortunately I did not found right tools yet. Please help.

Best Regards,

-Henry

Hi Seb,

Thanks for the information!

I solved the problem by creating a LabVIEW based VI (OI) which sends a command ("Open VI Front panel" + Socket index) via UDP to module VI which TestStand is executing. The module VI is listening parallel commands which LabVIEW based OI sends to test sockets (own process). This method ensures that module VI can be opened after it's execution has been started.
