how to creat variabels at run time?

Hi

1- I´am working with TestStand 3.1 and LabView 8.

2- I would like to know how to creat variables at runtime. That i have a while loop in teststand wich call a vi. this vi has 3 variables which should have a different values each time. Is it possible to get thats value from from txt.file or xls.file for each loop?

Thanks,,,

Hi,

You could use the PropertyLoader step for this changing the StartMarker string to point to your new values.

Look at the example in the TestStand\examples\PropertyLoader

Hi Farmer

that's what i´am trying to do, but if i have the PropertyLoader step inside the while loop how could i have the StartMarker string as a variable. In other words, if the while loops should runs 50 times, and the the PropertyLoader inside the loops, i should have 50 different StartMarker string  and the same for EndMarker string. How could i do that?

Thanks,

Hi,

The simplest solution would be to have a base start string and you modify it using the loop counter.

eg

 Locals.StartStringMarker = Locals.InitialStartString + Str(Locals.LoopCounter) or this could be RunState.LoopIndex if you are using this.

The End marker doesn't, you can keep the String as default.

The property loader locates the start of the data and loads the data down to the end marker. It doesn't matter that all the end markers have the same text in your file.

Hope this helps
