How do I use a Labview Enum as a Variable Parameter for Teststant

[Phil_T]

I have a Labview VI that performs a relay setup based on a Port selection that is an Enumerated  Type Def. The Control comes in as a drop dwon box in test stand. The question is how can I use that same dropdown as a variable to pass into a subsequence. I am not sure how to get it to show up as a custom  Type in test stand. I am using Labview 8.2 and Test Stand 4.0

Thanks,

As of TestStand 2010 there is not a way to natively create enums in TS.  A quick google or bing search using "TestStand Enum" should reveal all those who have tried before you.  I believe that in the Ideas Exchange there is already a note to have TS do this and I'm positive the TS developers are aware... 🙂

In answer to your question you will have to save it as a numeric and pass it down to the sequence.  Or I kinda like this idea:
