Using Test Stand and Lab View, Each one of my tests open a telnet session, runs a test, close the session and then is repeated in the next step but running a different test. Therefore I get a pass/fail for each step. Is it possible to open up a telnet session in the setup area of Test Stand (using a VI created in lab view) and pass that telnet session to the other Vi's in the Main area of test stand. The test steps (the VI's) in the main would not have to open up a session saving time.

Thanks to everyone that responded. To solve my problem I created a VI that opened a telnet connection. In that Vi I made the Telnet out a control which I mapped to a connector. I placed that VI in my teststand setup area. In teststand I made the telnet out a FileGlobal variable (called it Telnet_Connection). Next in the Main area of teststand I place a VI that runs a test over the telnet with out opening a connection. I made the Telnet in a control and mapped it to a connector in the VI. In teststand I made the telnet in the same variable as the telnet out created in the setup, Telnet_Connection. Ran the test and it worked. My biggest problem was not knowing how to create a variable or pass a variable in Teststand. Thanks again for your help.

Can a Telnet session be passed from 1 vi to the next in test stand

Solved!

Hi @Pinheiroh,

Can you please share your sequence file and VI , I am also trying to do the same but not getting any result.

I want to run the commands in telnet session and execute that through teststand.
