Open LV front panel of a failing step?

‎09-10-2015 09:14 AM

 

If a step fails i want to show the LV front panel so the "tester" can see all controls/indicators to get more info about what went wrong.

new at TestStand so this might be basic stuff but i havent found a solution.

What is basic about TestStand that you should understand is that the evaluation of a step is done after the step executes and the VI is closed. You obviously can't show the front panel at that point. You could add a post step fail callback to rerun the step and where you tell it to show its front panel. Additional modification of the VI would be necessary to place it in a paused state.
