How to use the property-loader?

Hello,
i´m using TS 3.5 and LV 8.0. Now i also want to use the built-in property-loader from Teststand.
Is there somewhere a documentation for "beginners" how to use this property-loader? At the end i want to read parameters from an ascii-file which updates my input-parameters of the steps in the current-sequence.
I know how to read and change parameters from teststand in labview via active-x, but i have no idea how to use this propertyloader-thing.
Is there an easy help file somewhere in the net ( I havent found one yet)?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,

The User Manual/Reference Manual has a section on the Property Loader, You will find it reference in the database section.

There are some examples in the TestStand Examples folder as will.

Meanwhile i can use the propertyloader for Limits and Variables which are in a container of the teststep. What not worked was:
1.) setting the properties of a "Messagebox". For example the property "Button1Label". Why is this not working?

2.) The second thing what is not clear: Do i need for each sequence an own property-loader? I tested it with a sequence with one subsequence. Does the subsequence needs its own property-loader?

Currently the import-csv-file looks like this:
**********
Start Marker,,,
<Step Name>,Limits.Low,Limits.High,Cont.Voltage
TestStep_1,1,2,4
TestStep_2,8,16,32
End Marker,,,
*************

When Teststep_1 and Teststep_2 are both in mainsequence then it works. When i copy Teststep_2 in a subsequence then i get an error (-18).

Any ideas about my two questions?

Thanks
