Convert Labview cluster name to Teststand container name

[Kochise]

Hello all,

I've understood so far that there is no way to convert a Labview

cluster into a Teststand container and vice versa. So I'm currently

working on a recursive cluster/container parser that would

reconstruct the mirroring structure into variant/PropertyObject

tree. For this I use the following table :

http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052N-01/tsref/infotopics/labview_data_types/

The problam I'm now facing is to convert the name of each

element to the corresponding name to remain compatible with

the mirroring structure. Hence no space or special characters

in order to follow the Teststand naming convention. You can

see what happens when you create a Teststand custom data

type from a Labview connector.

So, is there a VI that do the trick or am I again pruposed to do

everything by hand ? Thanks for your input. Even the one that

will no make me happy.

Hi there

Hello Victor_F,

this is indeed something that is worth considering. In addition

to the following link, I think I'll be able to do something out of it :

Great work, I had some trouble figuring how to handle the

array thingy 🙂 Perhaps I'll get something working by Xmas.

Ooops, it's after tomorrow, better clutch the gear up.
