Why I get an error when running a sequence using the LabVIEW operator interface ?

I have a simple TestStand sequence calling LabVIEW vis that is giving me an error when I run it with the .exe version of the LabVIEW operator interface and I set TestStand to run the vis using the 8.2.1 runtime engine instead of the development adapter. I made a change in the operator interface to open a vi programatically and get the value of a control, this vi is also used in the TestStand sequence I am trying to run. Could this be causing my problem ?

 

Thanks

Hello Verdulken,

 

I have a few additional questions:

 

  • Does your application function correctly when running the LabVIEW operator interface you have created as a VI in the LabVIEW development environment (i.e. does this problem only occur when the LabVIEW operator interface is run as an executable)?
  • What is the error that you are receiving?
  • Regarding the VI that you open programmatically, do you open it in a visible manner (i.e. use the Show front panel when called option from VI Properties)?
    • If so, do you also close this VI after it finishes (i.e. use the Close if originally closed option from VI Properties)?
  • Does the error occur on the step that calls this very same VI again later in the sequence?
  • Does your application function correctly if you use the development adapter for all of your calls?
     

Thank you in advance for this information,

Hi,

 

To add to Matt's comments:

This VI, is it loaded from the same location?

LabVIEW doesn't like loading the same VI from different location. In this case it probably is because its going to be part of the OI exe and in the Sequence file as a VI.
