LabVIEW Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit VIs, TestStand 3.x and the LabVIEW 7.1 Run-Time Engine

Primary Software: TestStand
Primary Software Version: 3.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: LabVIEW Toolkits>>Advanced Signal Processing Toolset, LabVIEW Run-Time Engine

Problem:
I created and saved a main VI in LabVIEW 7.1 using VIs from the Signal Processing Toolkit. The VI runs fine in LabVIEW. When I call the VI from TestStand 3.x with the LabVIEW Adapter configured to use the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine, I get an error with the message:

LabVIEW and TestStand versions are incompatible.

What is going on and how do I fix this?

Solution:
The Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit subVIs, in a LabVIEW 7.1 main VI, are not automatically saved as version 7.1 when the main VI is saved. Though the LabVIEW 7.1 Development System can run the main VI, the LabVIEW 7.1 Run-Time Engine will only be able to run the main VI once all of its subVIs are saved as LabVIEW 7.1 VIs.

To solve this problem:

1. Launch the LabVIEW 7.1 Development Environment and open the main VI.
   
2. Close the main VI.
   
3. When prompted, select to save all subVIs.
   
   

The main VI will now be able to be called from TestStand 3.x using the LabVIEW 7.1 Run-Time Engine.

Note: This VI could be called from TestStand 3.x as is if the LabVIEW Adapter is configured to use the LabVIEW 7.1 Development System instead of the Run-Time Engine.

Also note: The error message may also instead say:

VI is not executable.

This error message will be accompanied by error -18002.
