See Solved: TestStand API - Sequence Call

Basically, it is a Engine.NewStep method with StepTypes set to "SequenceCall".

I am using Python to translate code to a teststand 2017 sequence. I need to set  function parameters and don't know how.

This is what I do to create the step and set name and use current file property. It works so far, but when I open the generated sequence file there is a red exclamation mark stating that the arguments do not match the parameters of the sequence to be called.

If i use step.Module.UsePrototype = True then the exclamation mark is gone, but the Use prototype checkbox in the generated step is UNchecked.

This is an extract from my code. 

step = engine.NewStep("Sequence Adapter","SequenceCall")
step.Name = (step.StepType.Name) +" "+ str(index)
step.Module.UseCurFile = True
step.Module.SeqName = sub_seq.name

step.Module.UsePrototype = True

#ToDo: Set Parameters "Var1" to 10
MainSEQref.InsertStep(step,index, stepGroup["StepGroup_Main"])

Can anyone help please? I assume I have to do something with the step.Module.ActualArgs Property but I am stuck for two weeks at this problem now and I have tried almost everything.
