How to display TestStand Variables in VeriStand Workspace

[thobrehomas]

How can I display local variables (numerics and strings) available in TestStand on the VeriStand workscreen?

With the VeriStand .NET API it is possible to set UserChannels from TestStand.

But what about Strings? I want to display a string variable "serial number" (available in the locals section in TestStand) on the VeriStand Workspace.

Is it necessary to build a "custom control" that can include VIs like "TestStand - Get Property Value"? This VI needs "sequence context ref" as input.

How can I create this reference?

The TestStand sequence is running and at the same time I want the current values displayed in VeriStand.

What is the usual way to to this task?

Hi thobrehomas, I also think you need to build a custom workspace object.

NI VeriStand cannot handle string data inside itself so, you need to implement the feature. I believe creating Custom Workspace object isn't so difficult : - D

Thank you for your answer.

The more challenging part is to get the TestStand Variables in the Custom Control in VeriStand.

Any ideas how to realize this task? 

While the sequence file in TestStand is running I want the current values displayed on the VeriStand Workspace.

Also If these values in TestStand change I want the new values in the VeriStand Workspace.

Hi tbrehomas, I think this example is very useful for you!
