Add elements of variable containers with Teststand API

[OTGZzz]

hello everyone

I use TestStand to call veristad for data acquisition, and use LabVIEW to call TestStand API function to generate test sequence. In the circle drawing step, I click the plus sign variable container to automatically add a group of variables.like VariableName,VariableUnit......;I want to know how to add elements of variable containers with TestStand API functions.

If you have any way for me how to do this, i will be grateful to you.

Best regards,

Basically you want to use the property object methods.  Depending on the variable type it will be different.

For example:

Step.SetValString("MyVariable", 0x1, "Foo")

Will create a variable called MyVariable for your step (if it doesn't exist) and set the value to Foo.  It will be a string variable.

You can read more about the SetValXXX  methods for the property object here: https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052AA-01/tsapiref/reftopics/propertyobject/

Hope this helps,
