Properties for a Custom UUT Dialog in LabVIEW for TestStand Parallel Model

Updated Dec 16, 2021

When creating a custom UUT using LabVIEW for the TestStand Parallel Model, the VI acting as the dialog box must have specific Window Appearance properties. If these are not set correctly, your TestStand execution might freeze indefinitely. 

 

  1. Create the VI you will use as a custom dialog, and wire the necessary Controls and Indicators to the Connector Pane. 
  2. Open File >> VI Properties.
  3. From the Category drop-down menu, select Window Appearance.
  4. Choose any window template you want and select Customize.
  5. Change the Window Behavior to Floating and uncheck the Hide when LabVIEW is not active box.

Setting the VI Properties correctly will allow for multiple windows to pop-up simultaneosly and be controlled independently for each test socket.
