Which Version of TestStand to use with LAbVIEW 7.1?

[Rachana]

Hi!

I am using LabVIEW 7.1, should I use TestStand 3.5 or TestStand 3.1 to develop my test executive? The release note for both TestStand 3.1 and TestStand 3.5 mentions that LabVIEW 7.1 is compatiable with both 3.5 and 3.1 versions of TestStand. Has anyone ran into any issues when using TS3.5 with LV7.1? I'll also be doing ActiveX calls in my application.

TIA

Just a personal opinion here but I would use 3.5. If you ever go to LabView 8 it will not be supported by TS 3.1. Even though I haven't gotten to rebuilding my apps into 3.5 I plan on doing so. I think some of the enhancements in TS 3.5 might be useful. Also I think it will be supported longer than 3.1.

Just my 2 cents worth.
