How to transfer multiple boolean info from labview to teststand?

I have a labview 8.6 vi that has an output of 4 booleans.  I want to call that vi with teststand 4.1 and use each boolean to control one of four sequence call statements.  Since I am new to teststand, please go into some detail when answering.  Thanks.

All of the details are in the shipping document called Using LabVIEW with TestSTand. Put simply, each of the Booleans need to connected to the VI's connector pane and when you insert the LabVIEW step, in the Step Settings>Module view window, you assign each of the Booleans to a TestStand variable that you create.

Thank you for your response.  I understand everything you said about the VI and how the VI inputs and outputs appear in TestStand.  What I have trouble with is the assigning variables in TestStand.

Well, it depends on where you want the variables to reside. The simplest is probably local variables. Click on the 'Variable' tab of the sequence window and under locals, you will see the text 'Right click to insert Local'. Do that and create a Boolean. When you add the LabVIEW step, click the 'f(x) and you get the Expression Browser window where you can browse to the local variables (or any other). While in the Expression Browser, you can also create variables. For example, you might click on the Locals listing, right click and select Insert Boolean. Name it and double click on it. It will show up in the Expression window below. You've just assigned a Boolean from your VI to a TestStand Boolean,
