Labview cluster types

[jhenges]

I have a teststand app (version v4.0) which has a vi (version8.2) which has a cluster input and output.  It worked fine.

I needed to add elements to the cluster.  I am having difficulty getting Teststand to reconcile these differences.  I thought all I would have to to is add the same elements to the Teststand data type and do the name transforms in the cluster property menu and be done ... but there seems to be something else that I've forgotten.

Thanks for any help you could provide.

Hi jhenges,

I think you don't have to change anything in TestStand - just rework your VI as you need it and save it. After that just reload your VI from your TestStand sequence, it should normally recognize the data type of the cluster.

Thanks for the reply.

Here is what I DIDN't do correctly.  If you add a cluster as a member of a cluster, you must do the name mapping at the highest level to get the name of the new cluster properly added in.  I was working at the addede cluster level in the type definitions and was never getting the mapping of the actual cluster itself.
