How to access measurements from instrumentstudio in teststand?

[tamas_guruczi]

I'm trying to reach the scope,dmm etc. measurements what I configured in instrumentstudio. If I export the config to tststand, is there a way to see also the measurement results also and not just start the device?

Tamas,

Could you please clarify what you are trying to do with specific steps? I've reread this several times and there are at least 3 things I think you might be asking.

Exporting a Driver Configuration from InstrumentStudio and importing it into TestStand allows you to apply the settings configured in InstrumentStudio in a single step/instruction within TestStand. That configuration does not contain any measurement data.

InstrumentStudio also offers a Capture Data option, but I don't think that's what you are asking.

TestStand is typically used to obtain data and perform analysis in a repeatable fashion. From the TestStand perspective, InstrumentStudio is largely intended to be used for live debugging and to develop desired configurations at different steps.

Hi Tobias,

My question was is that InstrumentStudio config file contains any measurement data. You answered it thank you. That means If I want to automatize testing with teststand then I have to develop VI-s in Labview for measurements?

TestStand supports many development languages, including LabVIEW, C#, Python, and C++, and also has some built-in measurement steps you can use. It's really up to the user's preference as to which language to use.

I will point you to Guide to Effective Test Software Development with TestStand for best practices.
