Build a test sequence from a script

[Bladhart]

Hello all,

I want TestStand to build a sequence based on a pseudo code script. For example, the script would look like:

Power on

Voltage1 12

Voltage2 24

Circuit1 Short2Batt

Circuit1 Open

Circuit1 Normal

Power off

I want TestStand to build a sequence that would call some pre-build sub-sequences based on the script.

I know this is possible, but I have no idea where to begin to look.

Thanks,

Chase

The <TestStand Examples> folder has at least one example of how to generate sequences. SequenceBuilderTool jumps out at me but I think there's a couple others demonstrating various sequence file translators (text, CSV, and so on).

Hi Bladhart,

I did a similar stuff http://ftp.ni.com/pub/branches/germany/vipdays_09_sessions/Automotive_5_Automatische_Dodek.pdf.

My script was done in XML. For creating the SequenceFile i have used the TS-API.

My Maybe this threads could be interresting for you. They will show how to use these API Calls in Teststand itself. 

On this Thread there is an example with Labview Adpater

On this here with SequenceCall Adapter
