TestStand loading Vi's incorrectly, squashing controls

[Lbee11]

Hi All,

I'm new to TestStand (and LabView!) and am trying to create a Pre-Check Vi for the sequence I want to run. Here's what the Vi looks like when run in LabView:

It looks OK, and I'm happy with it.

Here's what it looks like when called from TestStand:

Can anyone explain to me why this is happening and how I can fix it without a lot of trial and error moving things around?

Thanks

Are you running the VIs in the LV RTE or in DevEnv (LV adapter setting)?

Does this affect only this VI or others as well?

Is the panel itself of the same size? If not, do you have "scale objects with pane" selected?

If you run this VI from TestStand using LabVIEW Run-Time Engine, as Norbert_B asked, then you need to check settings of the fonts - b/c obviously when called from TestStand, it uses another fonts, so that's why front panel is messed up.

Check out this thread, it may help you.

Thanks kosist,

Turns out there was a font issue, but it was also made worse by windows DPI settings, I've changed the behavior of windows and now its OK.

Thanks
