How does TestStand detect the active LabVIEW version?

[zou]

I have 2 version of LabVIEW installed: 2018 and 2020.

I've already setup LabVIEW 2020 to not update the windows registry.  So in windows explorer, when I double click a VI, LabVIEW 2018 gets launched.

But TestStand choose LabVIEW 2020 as the "active LabVIEW version".  Why?

How do I make TestStand choose LabVIEW 2018 instead?

Hi,

Open the required LV version.

Go to TestStand menu Configure adapter settings.

Go to LV adapter.

Select the LV version. ( The opened LV version should be visible)

That's what I am trying to avoid !

I want stick to 2018 regardless which version of LabVIEW opened last.

Works perfectly in Windows Explorer.  TestStand just weird.

Hi,

In the RTE its easy .You just select the VI version in which you need to run in the adapter settings.

For Dev  - I have two version of LV 21 and 23.

I opened a TS sequence.Created a step which calls LV 21 VI.Set the adapter settings to LV 2021.

Close LV and TS.

Opened LV 2023 and TS.

When i click on the step the LV 2021 opens up ( even though LV 2023 is present).

TestStand would use the most recently opened LabVIEW version. From the help:

This TestStand option is outdate.  I don't need 32bit vs 64bit.  I need LV2018 64bit vs LV2020 64bit.
