I am using TestStand for the first time in several years, so I don't remember the best way to do a lot of things. Currently I am writing sequences to test a variety of different UUTs all using the same PXIe chassis. Each UUT has its own top-level sequence, and several subsequences. The PXI chassis has several instruments in it, so I created a custom data type to hold the instrument handles which get passed into the subsequences, so I don't have to keep reinitializing them. I have a custom data type in the the sequence file, and that works fine, except I have to make copies of it for each sequence. I tried creating a station global, but it doesn't show up in the list of containers when I try to create a local variable with it.
How do I define a custom variable so that I can access it from any of the sequences?

You need to put your custom data type in a type palette file such as mytypes.ini.
Hope this helps,

That's seems to have done the trick.
Thanks for the help.
