How to save content of local variables?

[OnlyOne]

Hello,

what do i have to do that the content of the local variables (which are changing while a sequence is running) are still available after the testplan has finished?

Is there something like a commit to disk statement that can be inserted after changing a local?

Thanks

You could instead use a station global, which do persist.  I would instead just save the value to a configuration file.

t want to save to StationGlobal as this makes it not easy to send seqeunces to customers.

Meanwhile i found the solution how to save locals to the file by using the statement: RunState.SequenceFile.Data.Seq["MainSequence"].Locals.myVariable.

Besides this:

How can i save/read a value from a configuration file with only teststand-tools and no extra Dll/sw?

Thanks

Use a Property Loader step.

As Crossrulz said, loading can be done via the property loader.  Saving new values would require special software for creating those files.

Hi,

I found the solution posted by ~jiggawax~ in this thread: https://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/How-to-read-a-textfile-in-TestStand/m-p/774125

It is working without any extra sw and without the property loader.

Thanks

You can set the property of Local Variable by right clicking it - Go to Advanced - Edit Flags and set its property to 0x40000 (shared at runtime). It will retain its value after the test sequence is completed
