I am accessing a VI many times which is run on a remote PC.
When I click Step Settings, click on the Module tab, then click on the Labview Advanced Settings, there is are options for running a VI on a remote PC.
An annoyance is having to enter the remote host, remote VI path, port number and timeout settings every time I created a step to call the VI in the tests. These are a constant, or at least the rule by far rather than the exception. The TestStand step settings default is the VI does not run on a remote PC (unticked) and there are of course no IP addresses etc as defaults. So if I make a minor change to the tests such as the remote VI location, I have to manually change it is every occurrence of the VI being called. This is very time consuming and is prone to human error.
Is there a way I can preset these settings so that every time I call a Labview module, these defaults are invoked without me having to set them every time?
I guess a workaround is to have the VI run in a subsequence, so that the settings are made just once, but I would prefer not to have to do that.
