Simulated Devices in TestStand Workspaces

Simulated Devices in LabVIEW projects

Project and Workspace Context in MAX

 

Link to those ideas in next post

 

We can already create tasks, channels and scales in a LabVIEW project but, We cannot then use MAX to run those Tasks and we must use MAX to create a simulated device on a development machine.  After a few projects the Max configuration becomes cluttered.  Deployment and importing of the hardware configuration can get problematic to say the least! 

 

On the other hand- if the Hardware, Data neighborhood and IVI session set-ups could be added to the workspace, deployment would be a snap! just import the *.nce from the workspace without having to create one from MAX and exclude items not concerned for the deployment.

 

For integration and station troubleshooting the Sessions, Aliases, Tasks et al would be organized by deployment in MAX and fault identification has all the "tools" any repair tech could want to isolate a failure.

Isn't this really making MAX more user friendly both statically and dymanicaly rather than a TestStand feature!

Kudos, 

I would really like to see this feature in MAX as well. I usually develop for many machines with different devices that are switched back and forth.

 

A separate workspace/session for each thing would be pretty nice.
