Using LabView Dynamic dispatching classes

[mcfrenzy36]

Hello, I am currently investigating using LabView classes along with TestStand 4.2 to create a common functionality for power sources.  The power source used would be named from an ini file and then I need common function calls to take on the form of the software commands for the used power source. 

I have read a couple of articles on LabView classes and dynamic members, but I can not see how we determine which data type is used for the members to decide which methods are used.  Does anyone have any referrences to examples to get started or have some easy examples to start with like "area of objects" or something like that?

Hi mcfrenzy36,

What version of LabVIEW are you using? TestStand handles LabVIEW object oriented programming very well. I have found some additional articles that might be able to shed some light.
