Regarding “To use LabVIEW 8.0 with TestStand you must use TestStand 3.5 or later”, there were many changes in LabVIEW 8.0 that have required significant changes to the LabVIEW Adapter and Deployment Utility. Therefore, TestStand 3.5 is the only version of TestStand that supports LabVIEW 8.0. For a list of supported and unsupported features, I would recommend looking at the TestStand 3.5 Release Notes.
Regarding "TestStand 3.5 and earlier is not compatible with the LabVIEW 8.0 Real-Time Module. TestStand 3.5 supports the LabVIEW 7.1.1 Real-Time Module and earlier.", you can use both products independently without any issues. However, you cannot automatically target and download LabVIEW 8.0 VIs to an LabVIEW Real-Time target within TestStand.
There are other methods that can be used to communicate with LabVIEW Real-Time Targets from TestStand. You could call a local LabVIEW VI that can communicate and execute VIs running on LabVIEW Real-Time targets.
We are interested in learning about your use case and needs with TestStand and LabVIEW Real-Time. Would you be open for discussions offline regarding your use case?
