I'd like to know if this is possible: Run a VeriStand project on one computer (the "gateway") and run stimulus profiles from another computer on the same network subnet. I try to do this and specify the gateway IP address from the stimulus profile editor but get the error -307998: Error compiling.... TopLevelSequenceFileDoesnotExist.... But the sequence files are definitely there. And I know it's communicating somewhat with the gateway, because if I gave a bogus gateway address, I'd get different errors. Are there other configurations details that I need to know to run stmulus profiles from a different computer? Thanks.

You can run stimulus profiles remotely on a different machine than the Gateway host, but it requires some work to set it up correctly. The problem is that when the stimulus profile specifies to run a particular real-time sequence, the file path it specifies is the file path on the Gateway machine, not on the local machine. So the problem you are probably seeing is that the sequence exists on your local machine at the specified path, but not on the Gateway machine. For example, if your stimulus profile runs a real-time sequence at "c:\temp\mySequence.nivsseq", then that sequence has to be in c:\temp on the Gateway machine. You can make by storing the sequences on some shared network location that is the same for both the Gateway machine and the local machine. For instance, if you have some file server called myFiles, then you can copy the sequences there and specify the path "\\allFiles\mySequences\mySequence.nivsseq". This should work, because the path is the same from both the local machine and the Gateway. Alternatively, you can map drive paths in Windows from both side to create the same virtual drive letter on both the local machine and the Gateway host.

Running Stimulus Profile from not the gateway/host

Solved!

Great, I think the inconsistent absolute paths was the reason. Too bad it doesn't handle relative paths!
