VI front panel does not pop up in teststand

[alfred.tan]

HI,

I am new to teststand and would like to seek helps on my application.

I have a sequence file consists of several steps. in the SETUP, I have a step to acquire input from the user on which test to run. Having said that, when i run the sequence, i do not see the checkbox test pop up automatically. How do i configure it to pop up the VI automatically.

Also, How do we control the sequence if the user select 3 test cases? using (if) flow control in teststand?

Please advise.

Regards,

Alfred Tan

Click Step

Module --> Show VI Front Panel When Called (on the right)

PS: next time: upload all you project files in a .zip so that people can run it "out of the box", that helps a lot.

Was this helpful?

About controlling: in your vi: transfer your checkboxes to datatypes that Teststand understands (number,string,etc) and make an indicator of it.
"connect"it as output (front panel icon: show connector) click and click on indicator.
Then it appears (after reload) in teststand

use a if/else or select(switch)/cases

But I think you should start with a Labview tutorial (using subvi's) and reading the teststand manual/tutorial (calling Labview steps)

New programs aren't learnt in a week 😉

Hi HansWi,

Sorry for the late reply.

Thanks for the VI pop up solution. Now the VI can pop up when i call the VI.

I am using "case" in teststand, I still have error message when i run the sequence. Also, The sequece does not follow the checkbox value that checked by the user.

Please advise.

Hi,

What you need is the Select step then the Case with End then the End for the Select.

ie

Select

 Case

 End

 Case

 End

End

If you drop a Select Step onto an empty sequence you will see the structure you need.
