I'm trying to pass a refnum from LabVIEW to TestStand that I need to keep and later use in other steps of the sequence, when I pass the refnum I first use a type cast, send it as string and I can store it in TestStand, I can get it back and then do the inverse process and I can use it in LV,
there are sometimes where the refnum is for instamce 0x76200000, and that the cast does not affect the string coversion for when I get that back it is the same number, however I've noticed that sometimes the refnum is for instance 0x76300001, when I send that number to TestStand and then I get it back to LabVIEW the number gets affected and it returns a 0x76300000 which is a refnum I never create creating an message REFNUM NOT LONGER VALID, I've also checked that the variable is teststand is eliminating the Carry Return which may be the reason I cannot get the same refnum back to TestStand. I have also used "flatten to string" with the same result,
does anyone have an idea on what I'm doing wrong?
thanks a lot
