Can TestStand access directly array generated in LabView? How to do it?

[Sumnus]

Hi,all!

I'm a new hand to TestStand, so I have several problems.

I  generated a numeric array in LabView, and display it dynamically in graph. When I want to use TestStand to generate the report, can I access the array directly? If not, how to do it? My ultimate purpose is display the array as graph in the report.

Thanks a lot for your help.

You have several options here.  Pass the array back to TestStand and log it as an additional result. Or you can just put an image of the LabVIEW control in the report.

Option 1: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-38945

If using Option 1 it is important to understand this: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/7AE2EB304D4F9D4F86256B8100795B83

Option 2: http://www.ni.com/example/30736/en/

It also depends on which version of TestStand you are using as well as which type of report you want to generate.

Thank you.

I saw a .dll file in the example provided by NI. Is the file the must to the access process from TS to LV?

No the .dll is not necessary.  You should be able to pass data from LV to TS through the connector pane.
