Usually you would have a User Interface call TestStand.  The UI can be built in LabVIEW.  Here is document on UI development:

https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/08/teststand-user-interface-development-bes...

Then you use UI Messages to communicate back and forth between the UI and your sequence file.

Hello,

I am using the VI ( C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\TestStand 2014\UserInterfaces\Simple\LabVIEW\Source Code) which gives an example for simple UI and i am loading simple Teststand seq which has only message pop step and for loop with i and N intialisation . 

Now i need to see the i and N values in my LabVIEW indicator I know how to read but in this Example i am not getting where to add my code?

Where are you getting the sequence context from?  Did you read the article on UI Messages?  I'm not sure you are doing it correctly.

You need to pass a reference to your front panel control and then use a property node to set the value.  You cannot pass the value like that.

You are on the right track though.
