Testing a labview code on teststand

[Rashdura]

hi,

    i wrote a VI that works with a mydaq to measure voltage. the VI is working well but when i upload it to run a numeric test on teststand, it does not record the output. everytime i run the test, it gives me the output as zero. Again, when i upload my VI into teststand, it says "no vi description" . i don't know if this is why i cannot get an output. please help. i'll upload my vi below.

What is your adapter set to?  Go to Configure>>Adapters...  and then select the LabVIEW adapter and click the Configure... button.  For now I would use the Development System. 

Can you take a screenshot of the VI Description not showing in TestStand?  I'd like to see what you have the module and path set to.

Thanks,

Hi,

Most likely is that the VI return parameter is not setting Step.Result.Numeric...

Can you take a screenshot of the Step Settings >> Module tab?

Taking a look at the VI you attached, the reason it says "no vi description' is because there is indeed no description for this VI. If you give the VI a description (File » VI Properties » Documentation), it will show up.

You'll also need to wire up the connector pane to pass parameters to and from this VI. Like Charlie mentioned, you should pass the result to Step.Result.Numeric and also the error to Step.Result.Error.

I recommend reading through the getting started resources for TestStand and DAQmx before you start developing code.

Good luck,

Trent

it does not load the parameter information. i don't know why

Your VI does not have anything connected to the connector pane.  You need to connect your controls and indicators to the connector pane.

Hoe this helps,
