Custom Procedure Steps

[Call_Me_Vinny]

Stephen,

Thanks for the help.

So, when adding workspace tools or services, VeriStand does not want to let you select an .llb, only a .vi.  When I try to load the example tool it tells me that the VI is not executable.  As an llb, I get another error.

Am I missing something?

As a side note (I know I'm asking a lot of questions) is there a way to configure a custom right-click menu for a custom service, like a custom device?

Yes there is a way to do a custom right click menu. I'd post another topic on that specifically.

The VI is broken because it doesn't have its dependencies. If you run a VI inside the LV RTE, it has to be with all of its dependencies. So that is why we build custom devices and services and tools into LLBs with the LV IDE so that the LV RTE can load and run them

After you build your service (try building the example) into an LLB (make sure vi.lib/instr.lib/user.lib are included) then you can add it to the project by right click "configure services" and selecting add. Then browse to the built LLB On disk, double click it... the LLB browser should come up.. select the main VI inside the LLB
