Problem running your example with TCL in TestStand 2.0

[Motorola]

I`m having problems trying to run your example: "Calling TCL Scripts from TestStand 1.0.x". I use TestStand 2.0. In fact, I don`t see any response when running first step in a sequence. Could it be issues related to the TestStand version.

The example should work in TestStand 2.0.x, since other users have reported that they have successfully done so and nothing has changed in TestStand 2.0.x that would affect its execution.

In order to get the example to work you will need to have the TCL interpreter installed correctly so that the dll being used in the example can invoke it. If you can programmatically control the interpreter with any other code module as this dll does then this example should work as well. However, if you cannot do this in any way on your system then it is safe to say that nothing will work including the example. Verify that the TCL interpreter will work in this fashion per the vendor's instructions and then try the example again. If you are receiving errors from TestStand
when executing the sequence let us know about those and we may be able to help you more directly.

Jason,

Thanks for response. It seems TCL interpreter is installed correctly. At least, when I run "test.tcl" by itself (with some changes), it works fine. Probably, I`m not following "readme.txt" instructions correctly. On right click on CallTCLScript step I go to View Contents and set both path variables accordingly. When on a right click I go to Specify Module... and set DLL Pathname to TSTCL.dll location. I don`t set parameters yet. Do you see something is missing.

Thanks in advance,
Alex
