Dropdown in TestStand

Hi All,

 

How to create drop down in teststand?

dropdown could be either Enum or ring. I have a LabVIEW VI which has Enum control as a input, in teststand it recognize enum as u16.

My problem is i need to call this VI in subsequence so I am thinking to create a paramenter in a subsequence and because i am calling it from main VI.

 

Best Regards 
Manasa M

Hi Manasa,

 

When you create an enum or a ring in LabVIEW vi, and connect it to the connector pane, and add it in a TestStand LabVIEW Step, in the variable field it automatically comes as drop down with the items present in the enum, and you can choose it from them. But if you want to create a Local Variable or anything similar, you cannot give directly the name but the enum number such as 1,2,3 etc, to it, as TestStand recognizes it as U16.

 

Hope this helps

Hi Yaskadeva,

 

Thanks for the update, I was in the belief that Enum is not supported TestSTand,

Now i verified and works good for enum input
