Hi,

Attached are the Call Executable tabs that I don't know how to use it.  Please advise

The limit for attachment is 4.  I got the last snapshot (Standard output/error), I set = ignore for now.

Thanks

Hi,

in Standard Output/Error tab set Output Destination to Store in Variable/Property. The default location is Step.StdOutput.Text, you could change that to something like Locals.EggPlantStdOut. The stdout has to be copied to a variable in TestStand.

If it is not working I would try

1. Try it with an exe I know for sure is returning stdout.

2. Try your exe or a know good exe with the LabVIEW sysexec.vi to see how it is working
