TestStand runs a copy of my VI

[1984]

Hi Community,

I have noticed that TS seems to execute a memory copy of one of my VIs instead of executing the VI itself. Poorly phrased, but what I want to say is that if I open that VI and then execute my sequence then when TS executes that step then my VI does not execute, just turns to "Run mode", like if I have pressed Ctrl+M.

This is only a problem with a VI or two, but I have no clue whats causing it. I'd like my VI to run in a normal way so I can debug it runtime when TS calls it.

Let me know if you have an idea.

Thx.

Most likely, your VI is setup to be reentrant.

Yeah, I was thinking about this and it is not reentrant, at least not the VI I directly call from TS.

Would I see this effect if any of the subVIs of my VI is reentrant? If so, is there a way to quickly find which subVI is set to reentrant?

Has the step been set to run 'Always in the RTE engine'?

Hmm... maybe its just me not knowing how TS handles the situation... So if I start running the sequence then open the VI after TS started to execute it then should I see it running or should I see it in the "run mode"?

Cause right now I had the VI open before TS started the sequence and now the VIs running, as I expected.

thanks.
