Assign a value to a variable

[Zeb Fisk]

Kind of a newbie question here.  In TestStand I use an action (ReadTemp see attached) to call a .vi that reads a temperature from a sensor.  One of the parameters in the action (the return from the vi) is the temperature value as a DBL.  I would like to assign that numeric value to a FileGlobal variable to decide which test step get executed next.  It doesn't seem like this should be difficult but I don't know how to do it.  Any help would be appreciated.

I can not read your attachment at the moment but I notice that you are using TestStand 4.1

So you should be able to assign your FileGlobal to the output connection of your VI but you have to make sure you have connected this output in your VI to the VI's connector pane. Back in TestStand SeqEditor, If you are not seeing this connection try doing a reload prototype.

Thank you Ray.  It was the mechanics of of typing the variable name into the value field that I could not figure out how to do.  Like I said, I am a newbie.
