LabVIEW user interface for testand sequence. How to pass a flag?

[MimiKLM]

Hi,

I need to pass a flag (true/false button on UI) from LV UI to the testand sequence which that UI runs. Could you tell me how to do that?

Cheers.

What "LV UI" are you refering to?

There is no general answer to this.

If you need the boolean value in your sequence execution, i suggest you to "store the event that the button was pressed" within a boolean value in the UI. When your sequences execution reaches the point where the information is needed, the sequence should send an UI Message in order to retrieve the current status of the boolean value. This is the recommended way for simple "data transfer".

If the button should do something asynchronously (like Terminate Execution), you should search for appropriate predefined messages in the TestStand Engine. Use a TestStand UI Button control and connect the button with the message (just as all the buttons in NI's UIs).

hope this helps,

Hi Norbert,

Thanks a lot for describing that simple transfer mechanism.

Could you send me a simple example of that please? How I can refer to that boolean button from TS?

I need to pass TRUE/FALSE status from UI at the beginning of the sequence. That button is a flag button only and it doesn't trigger any events, just control an application flow.

Thanks.
