Teststand: Running Multiple LabView vi's simultaneously

[yek401]

I am looking for a way to run multiple VIs simultaneously.. One will serve as an interface, one will log data to a database, and several others will interface with a number of hardware components.

Hi,

One way would be to run your VI's in seperate executions from a sequence file.
I've attached an example (TS 2.0.1f1 and labview 6.1 ).

The sequences are set so as the MainSequence will not complete until all three sequences are closed.

I have also added in the database.vi addition code encase the user pressed the terminate.

There are additional example on the NI website if you want to set the sequences to 'Do not wait'.



Hope this helps

Alright, so then how do I trigger a sequence from within a VI?

Also, when I run the main sequence, it pauses almost immediately.. I have to hit resume to get the 3 vi's to pop up.

Btw, I had "break at first step" enabled.. Thats why the sequence was pausing.

As for getting a VI to run a sequence, I'm still in the dark.

Hi,

Not sure if this is what you mean by a VI running a sequence!

You can look at this example for a VI to run a sequence file

Hi,

You probably find it in TestStand\AdapterSupport\LabVIEW\TestStand.llb
