How do you get a station global or any variable to be read across UUTs executing in the parallel Sequence model?

[bdwhaley]

Dear  Support,

I have two questions regarding the parallel sequence model:

I am trying to find a global variable or any variable that can be universally read from any thread / step .   For instance:

- Parallel sequence Model

- 2 UUTs

- The main sequence has 20  steps

- I am looking for a variable that can be read universally across both UUTs in any step.  I have tried many, even the station global variable - as a Boolean - for "Abort" .  But that did not work either.

Question TWO:   How can I bring out this universal variable to the UI ?  Can you point me to an example?    Do I use the "Lookup"  ,.  I could not get that to work.  Can I use the "Label"  ?  I could not get that to work neither.

Thanks! Brad

The station global should have worked since you are just reading a variable.

In case you are also updating the variable value you will need to save it also immediately after you modify.
