Run a TestStand sequence with CVI

[roro_meylan]

Hello,
I am trying to open a TestStand sequence (*.seq) with a small C application, but I'm a beginner and I have some problems.
So i start with theses functions:

TS_NewEngine
TS_EngineGetSeqFileEx
TS_SeqFileGetProperty        ( not sure that i really need that...)

And so I don't know which functions I need to continue and launch the sequence. I tried TS_EngineNewExecution but its not working...Can someone help me for this problem?

Thank,  Romain

Hi Romain

I think the best would be to open CVI source-codes of the UI-Interface

It is shipped with TS.

You will find it under <ProgramFolder>\National Instruments\TestStand X.Y\UserInterfaces\NI\Simple\CVI

Hint: Before modifiying copy it to the folder parent folder<user>

Hi,

try this example as a guide, it's and early Teststand example (1.0.1) so I wouldn't expect it to work straight from the box, unless of course you are using TS1.0.1.

Thank you Ray,

for pointing this link. 
This is better because there is no UI-stuff.
