Launching Teststand and a sequence

[1984]

Hi,

What is the most simple way to launch an instance of TestStand from labview and make it to start executing a sequence defined with path constant in labview?

I saw the TS examples but even the pretty simple one has the callback VIs, and quite amount references which I dont get at the moment so I'm looking for the actual implementation. Maybe later on I get more of an expert of how to properly control TS from LV, but for now I need a very simple launcher.

Thanks.

You could use the System Exec VI to Run a Sequence File the Command Line, which is probably the simplest way of doing it because you don't need any special VIs from TestStand at all.

Kudos to you for giving a 100% valid answer to my question.

I probably need to refine my question: I need the second simplest way to start TS from LV. System exec work but I'd like to make this work with the TS API, so later on - if we need it - I can use the API.

Look at Working with the TestStand Simple User Interface - LabVIEW (TestStand 2013 and Previous) - NI
