Execute Test Code Modules Using the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine (TSM)

The TestStand LabVIEW Adapter can execute VI code modules in the LabVIEW Development System process or in the TestStand process using the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine (RTE). Executing test code in the LabVIEW Development System process is useful for debugging but adds significant performance overhead to the execution of test programs. To reduce this overhead, execute VIs in the TestStand process using the LabVIEW RTE.

Complete the following steps to configure the LabVIEW Adapter to use the LabVIEW RTE from the TestStand Sequence Editor.

  1. Select Configure » Adapters.
  2. Select the LabVIEW Adapter in the list control and click Configure to launch the LabVIEW Adapter Configuration dialog box.
  3. Enable the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine option.

Complete the following steps to configure the LabVIEW Adapter to use the LabVIEW RTE from the TestStand Semiconductor Module operator interface.

  1. Click the Configure Station button to launch the Configure Station Settings dialog box.
  2. On the Advanced tab, click the LabVIEW Adapter button to launch the LabVIEW Adapter Configuration dialog box.
  3. Enable the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine option.
