How get the name of a TestStand step in LabView

I have a vi that is being called by several different steps in my teststand sequence. When the vi executes, I want it to indicate the name of the step. I tried using the "TestStand - Get Property Value.vi" but there doesn't seem to be an appropriate lookup string to get the step name.

Wendell,

you should pass to the VI the caller's Sequence context (this should be done when you specify the step's module in TestStand). You should create a Step property from Sequence Context (right click to get the context menu), from which you should create a Name property. This is the step name you are interested in.


I have attached a sequence and a vi that demonstrates the result.
