Learning Teststand

[govindsankar]

Hi, 

I am going into the world of teststand after working in labview for 7 plus years. I am trying to create a simple project. I wrote a labview VI call Resitance measurement which is just a random number outputting a value between 0 and 10. 

I save this as ResistanceMeasurement.VI. Next I created an action step in teststand and called this VI and I am trying to store the output of the VI in a variable maybe global or local, i dont know which one to use, so I decided global. Then I will create a pass fail test and use this global variable to check pass or fail. This is my idea. But the issue is I dont know how to store the output of the VI in a local or global variable. I know i can store it in Step.Results.Status. But that I dont want. I want to store it in a local or global variable so that I can use it again for running the pass fail test. How can I do that. Thank you.

Step.Result Container is used for the standard limit comparison, so I do strongly recommend to use it.

Especially as a beginner.

If you need values later on, you can always access them

There are some tutorials about code module usage available online.

Furthermore, a TestStand installation comes with examples and Demos like Mobile Device Test.Seq
