Fault channel from custom device?

[StephenB]

I'm working on a custom device to exchange data with several external simulation servers, and part of the protocol involves the external server faulting an NI VeriStand hardware input channel so that other subscribers all see the forced value. Is there any way to do this in a custom device?

Thanks,

No way to do it directly. Real time sequences can fault channels. The closest solution would probably involve a paired sequence that is always running that the custom device communicates with via some special channels to do the faulting.

OK thats what I figured. Interesting work around but it would be really hairy...

We think we can proceed without this and just do faulting on the external simulator side, so hopefully it doesnt come back up
