How to Modify Test Stand Test UUT's Serial Number Entry

[lvpro10]

I need to modify the Test Stand Test UUT's Serial Number entry so that I can decode a barcode scanned data and filter out everything except for the Serial Number it self. The scanned in data has mutiple data entrys that is mixed in with the bar code. I am using LabVIEW 7.1 with Test Stand 4.0

If you want to use your own VI for all sequences, you can modify the sequence model. In the Sequential model, the serial number scan is done in the PreUUT step. Replace the step called IdentifyUUT with your VI. You need to write the serial number to Locals.SerialNumber and a Boolean value to Parameters.ContinueTesting.

You can also include a PreUUT callback in your test sequence and have your own VI in there.
