LABView application calling from TestStand

Hi
I have a top level LABview application (VI) which calls 4 other  VI's, does some a simple
computation , and displays 3 graphs as an output.

I want to integrate and  run it from TestStand and get the results to the teststand report including data as well as graphs.
However with my knowledge of teststand, I am not able to create a testsequence that performs this task.
please advice.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Is it a labview application (exe file) or the actual top level VI that you want to interface with teststand.

If, its the VI, then you can save the result arrays into some teststand Locals directly from your VI conector pane (assuming you are using TestStand 3.x). Then use some None Adapter steps types to act on each of your array data. 

If your report is HTML, you can use the report option to insert a graph based on your result array.

Hi Ray,
Thanks for the response. I am using TestStand 3.1 running on Windows 2000.
My Labview application is not the exe file, it's the actual top level VI, which calls 4 other  VI's.
Could you please tell me how to save result arrays to Locals.
by going to View ---> Type Palette.
or some other way?
another thing I didn't get the following line...
"Then use some None Adapter steps types to act on each of your array data."
 
As I told you I am very new to TestStand, so need more help from you.
 
Thanks
