Automating Xilinx JTAG Programmer from TestStand

[mama007]

Hai,
I am using TestStand versions 1.0.2 and 3.0 to test some of the processor driven electronic panels. I am trying to automate the programming of those processors on ATE with TestStand. I was able to load the Xilinx JTAG programmer(which is required) by calling .EXE file. Now I am struggling to create a set of ket board commands to start programming. how can I do this? Is the ActiceX control solution for this? can any onehelp with this please. I use Labwindows CVI with teststand.

Thanks

Hi mama007,

Do you know if the JTAG programmer is ActiveX compatible, please can you contact Xilinx, and ask them. While you are talking to Xilinx, can you get the ActiveX model they use, so we have some reference on how to call this from Teststand.

Hello James,
Instead of the ActiveX, I tried to use the "FakeKeystroke" CVI built-in library function to automate the process.I got it working during interactive execution of function panel i.e by passing key codes for & , I got the File pull down menu of CVI function panel. But when I call the function from Teststand, it didn't worked.Can you able help me with this problem please. Is it the the proper way to use this function.
Thanks for your responce regrading ActiveX control.
