Steve,
You can programmatically set the DLL that you want to call. There are
hidden step properties which contain the information that TestStand uses to
call the DLL function. You can view hidden properties by enabling the
option in the Preferences tab of the Station Options dialog under the
Configure menu. Most of the hidden properties are self explanatory,
although they are documented anywhere.
You should look at an example, Dynamically Determine Which Code Module to
Run, which you can download from the examples database at
www.ni.com/support/epd/ Although this example doesn't demonstrate calling
DLLs, you can use the same concepts.
Best regards,
Paul Mueller
