Passing variables into CVI from TestStand.

[Ryan Carlson]

Is there a different way to send variables into CVI from TestStand other than the input buffer? Parsing that string is annoying and bulky. Isn't there an easier way?

[James_Grey]

You can use the TestStand API to access any TestStand variable from your CVI function. Refer to \Examples\AccessingPropertiesAndVariables\UsingCVIStandardPrototype\

You can also use CVI to create a DLL that you call with the DLL Flexible prototype adapter. This adapter lets you pass an arbitrary number of parameters.

Hi,

Here is a short cut to another example which will use the StationGlobals -

There are loads of other examples either as part of the examples provided by TestStand installation or in the Resource Library under TestStand on the NI website

Good Luck
