Updating prototypes

Solved!
Go to solution

I added a case to a case statement that calls a particular VI based upon the enumerated value passed in. There are 28 cases. So when I tried to run TestStand it complained about prototype mismatches for these 28 VIs. I had to visit every place they were called in TestStand and click the red dot to update the prototypes.

 

Is there a faster way to do update VI prototypes en masse?

 

Thanks,

jvh,

 

what version of TS are you using?

As of TS 4.1 i think there is the "Update VI Call"-tool:

hope this helps,

Thanks Norbert.

I am using 4.2.1. Mr Duh here missed that handy little tool.

Did it do nothing? Or was updating the prototypes insufficient? Please provide more details. Also make sure you set the settings on the dialog to do what you want. On the version of the dialog I'm looking at, it defaults to reporting problems only and not updating the files. You need to change the setting to update the files.

 

Hope this helps,

 It works now. TestStand locked up trying to load a prototype and after restarting it works.
