From TestStand, you can't directly pass arguments
into the controls. NI plans to allow this in a
future (distant future) version of TestStand.
In the meantime, you could write some wrapper VIs
that pass data to your controls. You can use the
TestStand API to read/write variables from
TestStand. In the
examples\AccessingPropertiesAndVariables
directory, you will find an example that shows
how to use the TS API.
It sounds like the VI Server vis would work well
to dynamically control your VIs. I'm sure there
must be some examples in the examples database at
http://www.natinst.com/support/epd
You can search or browse this database.
Hope this helps,
