calling teststand from labview

[Prashanth069]

Hi All,

i want to create a LabVIEW sub VI which call a teststand sequence and executes,  for this sub VI i only pass a file path of sequence.

is there any readymade VI`s available??

Hi,

You can create such a VI, I don't recall that such a VI exists but you can take a look at the LabVIEW OI shipped with TestStand.

hope this helps

Hi,

System Exec.vi can be used to launch TestStand from a DOS prompt.

Command line switches can be used to run sequences.  ref - Chapter 8 of the TestStandReferenceManual.pdf has a section called 'Configuring Sequence Editor and User Interface Startup Options'' and the following link may help: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4309

Thanks,
Jim

That link is too a very old Tutorial (2006)

the comment about the LabVIEW is nolonger true

- (Note: The LabVIEW Operator Interface does not support any command line options because executables built with LabVIEW do not support command line arguments.)

Check with the Reference Manual for the correct and full list of command line arguments,

'Configuring Sequence Editor and User Interface Startup Options' of Chapter 8.
