Can't Modify VI Description in Edit LabVIEW Call in TS 3.5

[chromaburst808]

Hello there,

I'm documenting my TS sequences and I've noticed that my VI descriptions in LabVIEW 7.1.1 are not propagated to the Sequence Editor (TS 3.5) when I select Specify Module... on my LabVIEW test steps. The VI description text box under Edit LabVIEW Call contains <No VI description present> and is uneditable - Windows even beeps in digust when I try to enter text in this field.

Not sure if this is relevant - I'm using LV Development System Server and Allow Only New Templates under LV Adapter Configuration.

Any thoughts?

Hi Chroma,

I tried to produce the same behavior on my workstation and it works fine.  Is it only for a particular VI that this happens? Can you create a VI from the TestStand step, edit it's Documentation, then reload prototype and see the same results?

I've tried this from scratch also - see attached .zip.

If I open testdocgen.vi with Specify Module... then no VI description text is shown in the no VI description text box. If I select Reload Prototype, the text appears but is still un-editable.

Is this normal behaviour?

Hi,

That window is read only, like the connector pane above it.

But I would have thought if you had text in the description property of the VI you shouldn't need to reload the Prototype. So maybe that's a bug with TestStand's labview adapter.
