C# GUI WPF Development for NI Resources

[Caloi]

I want to create a GUI for controlling PXIe resources but the problem is existing library for C# is based on TSM context. So unless I run them through TestStand I have no way of controlling the resources. Can someone give me an idea?

What are you trying to achieve?

So I want to build a WPF based program on .NET using NI C# library (Semicondunctor Test Library) but the problem is that their STL codes are based on TSM Context which is essentially runs only through TestStand engine (because of the pinmaps and digital tools). I'm not sure if there's already some sort of way I can control the PXIe resources on a much lower-level scale on C# where I won't have to use the methods that would require TSM context.

If you want to control PXIe instruments using C# WPF, there are examples. STL is designed to work only with TSM, so you can't use it outside. Do note that STL abstracts many underlying details that the original driver doesn't.

Please refer to the C# resources on how to control NI instruments, https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/13/national-instruments--net-support.html
