Is there a way to specify a module pathname with a string variable?

[Bob Rafuse]

Is there a way to specify the "module pathname" property for a C/CVI
Standard Prototype Adapter using a TestStand string variable?

We have three different Test DLLs. Each DLL exports the same functions with
the same prototype. I want to be able to select which one to use based on a
run-time user selection.

TIA,

Bob.

There is a property "Step.TS.SData.ModulePath" that you could write to possibly do this but you would have to load the DLL dynamically and unload after step completes. This might be more trouble than it's worth. A simpler technique would be to use CVI to "loadexternalmodule" "getexternalmoduleaddr" and call it from within CVI.

Hello,

Yes Joe is correct. You can use the SData.ModulePath property. Have a look at this knowledgebase for more information: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/5aa3e65a39e6c08886256b29008366fd?OpenDocument
