Can you have a local variable to handle wfm information?

[Havarti]

I am very new to test stand. Can you have a local variable to handle wfm information?
Also how do you use parameters? Do you need to have a parameter of the same name in the main sequence and subsequence?

Thanks,

Hi,

If you have Teststand 3.x, then you can have types LabVIEWAnalogueWaveform or LabVIEWDigitalWaveform available to you and you can connect these straight to your VI connector pane. Look in to Types Palette and there are down the bottom of the menu list.

Hi Brian

Parameters are one way you can pass data from a calling sequence to a subsequence. From the main sequence, right-click on your subsequence and select "Specify Module...". In the "Parameters" section of the dialog box, you should see any parameters that you have for your subsequence. You can then assign these subsequence parameters to have the same value as a parameter from the calling sequence, a local variable from the calling sequence, a constant, etc. In regards to your question about naming parameters, you do not need to have parameters of the same name in both the calling sequence and the subsequence, although you could have them be the same name.
