LabVIEW Windows should not appear

[Angel Olivares]

I've created a TestStand Step type that used IMAQ functions to show a video signal. I need to show the window with the picture always. Nevertheless, I become always at the beginning the LabVIEW initial Window and I have to minimize it. Is it any possibility to avoid this LabVIEW Window? I attach a foto.
Thanks

Funny, this doesn't happen on my system. Maybe you can change a TestStand setting to eliminate the problem, if you do not need to use the LabView development system when running. In Test Stand click Configure (on top menu bar), Adapters, highlite Labview and click on the Configure button inside the Adapter Configuration box. Click the top button "Labview Runtime Engine" and then OK, then Done. Your Labview step will run using the Labview Runtime engine without opening the Labview development environment. Of course you cannot debug your Labview program this way. Hope this helps.

Which version of TestStand are you using? I use 2.0.1. This is what I have when I try to follow your instructions. (see video)

Sorry, your video was so small (even after enlarging) that I could not see what was happening. I am using TestStand 3.0. I'm sure that 2.0.1 has some similar setting for the Labview adapter.

Hi,

Thats correct, but for TestStand 2.0.1 you can only set the adapter to use a LV runtime server or the develop system not the LV runtime engine. This was a new feature added in Teststand 3.0

This option doesn't work, ops! I'll try to minimize it with some properties of LabVIEW if I can.
