I am trying to program an Actel PROASIC FPGA automatically from TestStand. I am having trouble figuring out how make a step that will do this. I have exported the program, erase, and verify SVF files from the FlashPro software. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

I am assuming you have created a DLL with the following exported functions - program, erase, and verify SVF file.
You can refer Teststand examples to understand how to call DLL functions. (C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 4.2.1\Examples\Demo\)
Basically you need to use a action step type with DLL adapter to call the exported functions one by one :
Ex - action step type to erase chip
action step type to program chip
action step type to verify chip
You will need to additionally compare if the returned value from these functions are valid or not to Pass\fail the UUT.
Hope this helps.
