Consider the following recommendations and requirements for deploying VIs when you decide whether to use LabVIEW projects in a TestStand system:

  • The size of a deployment affects its size on disk and the time required to install. If the test system contains multiple LabVIEW projects, the size of the deployed image is larger and takes longer to build. To reduce the time required to create a deployable build that includes multiple LabVIEW projects, enable the Consolidate Files Shared by Projects option in LabVIEW VI Options dialog box of the TestStand Deployment Utility to create a merged project for use in a deployable image.
  • TestStand does not support deploying project libraries with the same name and different file paths. You receive an error when you attempt to include two project libraries with the same name.
