How do I read the Step Index and Number of steps from the bottom right of the execution window

[Steve_Block]

I would like to be able to get the step index and number of steps information from the teststand execution window to be read into CVI. How can I do this?

Hi,

You can get the Number of Steps by getting the size of the array of RunState.Sequence.Main. eg GetNumElements(RunState.Sequence.Main) if you were using the expression browser.

The number of steps executed can be obtained by look at RunState.NumStepsExecuted,

There are other properties you can find in the Help of TestStand under Sequence Context.

Hope this helps

In the OI code, you can call

ExecutionViewMgr.GetCaptionText(..)

The caption constants that would probably be of the most interest to you are:

CaptionSource_CurrentStepIndex_ZeroBased
CaptionSource_CurrentTestIndex_OneBased
CaptionSource_NumberOfSteps
CaptionSource_NumberOfTests
CaptionSource_SelectedSteps_ZeroBased
CaptionSource_SelectedTests_OneBased
