passing data between TestStand User interface and Process Model

[lordsathish]

Hi Ppl,

Data between custom process model and custom teststand user interface is passed using functional globals. Now I'm creating a installer for this environment. Since the functional globals within the exe are no more the same as that in the process model the data communication doesn work. There are quite a few functional globals that are used in this fashion. how do I replace all these VI's with minimal effort. One way I could think off is to call these functional globals dynamically within the exe.

Thanks

Hm, data between TestStand executions and the UI should always be transferred using Custom UI Messages. This prevents the whole issue from the start.

Nevertheless, you possibly can use your UI as runtime environment for your code modules. At least with LabVIEW, you can do this. Simply select your UI.exe as "other executable" in the settings of the LV adapter (See Using LabVIEWTM and LabWindowsTM/CVITM with TestStand page 5-2). Maybe this already solves your issue.

Otherwise, i recommend you to switch to UI messages (what you should do anyways...)

hope this helps,

Norbert
