I want to write a program in LabView then pass the test results to teststand to check if it pass or fail without displaying the test stand program,

I want to write a program in LabView and create an execute but I want to be able to pass test results to test stand to find it the unit pass ar fail the test then save the data to a database. How would i go about it.

What's confusing is your statement that you want to do this "without display the test stand program". You can minimize the TestStand UI to the task bar but if you don't want TestStand to be running, how can TestStand evaluate the result. Explain a little more please.

In the message body of your post, you just say you want to create a LabVIEW exe and pass the results to TestStand. What I would recomend is that instead of an exe, you create a dll and use TestStand's DLL adapter to call it and return the results. TestStand will evaluate it and do the logging.

I have wrote a couple programs or sequenses using test stand. I have about 8 windows that display what is happening during the test of a unit. Management and some production Eng. want to see one screen only with all the test progress and start button instead of all the other screens going ON OFF and of course compare the test results pass/fail and save data.

Having TestStand show a LabVIEW front panel is optional when you call a VI. When you specify the module, there's a check box that says Show VI Front Panel When Called. Do you have this checked? The other way to show a VI's front panel is through the VI's properties. How do you have his set? It sounds to me like you need to use either the standard UI or the simple UI that ships with TestStand and change the way you're calling the LabVIEW steps. How are you getting result information right now from the visible VIs into TestStand?
