What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Hi All,

I am new to TestStand. Still in the process of learning it.

What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Thanks in advance,

I am sorry....i discovered that...its not at all possible to pass data to another sequence using variables...it has to be through parametes.....once again i apologise for posting such a stupid question

Hi,

Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.
