Alternative Method to communicate with GUI (exe) and TestStand

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi ,

 

Can anyone suggest an alternative method to communicate with TestStand and GUI(exe). Here I don't want to use user messages as I will be running the sequence from TestStand sequence executer.

 

I tried to use network published variables to transfer real time data (latest value) from LabVIEW exe to TestStand code module. Is there any better method to send commands from TestStand to LabVIEW.

You can also use TestStand synchronisation objects like queues or notifications. There are even LabVIEW wrapper's for it somewhere on the internet. It is possible to exchange information between processes using them.
