Labview GUI and TestStand

[tcpham14]

Hello, I am new to TestStand and Labview and am trying to make a GUI with buttons that can send event callbacks to execute sequences. How would I go about making this? I tried looking everywhere online for this and I can't seem to find much. There's a function I found called Engine.CallFrontEndCallbackEx that is supposed to call sequences in the FrontEndCallbacks.seq file, but what actually is this? Is this a Labview object or a CVI library function? I've been looking into this for days, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I recommend you take a little TestStand training before jumping right in.  There are multiple places to find help and information about TestStand.  Google is usually the best.  It seems, based on your post and verbiage, that you don't quite understand how sequence files execute within TestStand.  Just some basic training will help you get going.

Here are some links:

There are User Interfaces that ship with TestStand.  You can edit them as well:

Also, National Instruments offers classes.  You can reach out to them and see what's available.

If you have a specific question let me know.

Otherwise you can take a look to standardized TestStand UIs such as NeoATP !
