Work with a running NI VeriStand test stand. See what is deployed, and read or write channels on the live system: faults, setpoints, model inports, alarms.

#What you get

• Test connection — shows the system state and which system definition is deployed.
• Channel read/write — by full channel path, such as Aliases/EngineSpeed or Targets/Controller/Simulation Models/Models/Engine Demo/Outports/RPM. Each write is read back, so a clamped or rejected write shows its real value.

#Setup

1. Install the connector from the Connectors tab on the Windows machine that runs the VeriStand Gateway. Or install it on another Windows machine with VeriStand installed.
2. Leave VeriStand Gateway as localhost when the connector runs on the VeriStand host. Otherwise set the gateway machine's hostname.
3. Run Test connection with your project deployed.

#Notes

• If VeriStand is not installed, the connector says so and points at the field to set for non-standard installs.
• A write acts on the running system, like typing into a workspace control. Take the same care.

#Connection fields

Every field the Add input form shows for this connector.
