Introduction to the SCOPE Step Type in TestStand

[patrick1988]

Hello! I am new in NI TestStand and like to add a "SCOPE" Step Type in a Test - Programm. Can anyone give a short introduction how i can use this step type ? at first, i set a frequency and the following step should appraise these frequency by the scope. greetings patrick

There is a shipping example called IVIStepTypes.seq. In there, there is a couple of IVI Scope steps. The scope is initialized and then two channels are configured. There is also a read waveform step but you can easily change this to return a frequency measurement to a TestStand variable. You would add a TestStand numeric limit test in order to evaluate the returned frequency.

Thanks Dennis, this was very helpfully for the first step.

At next, i like to appraise the measured values, so that this values, like amplitude etc., are at the Test - Report.
Is there a chance to get this measurement values?

Greetings,
Patrick
