Read variable from sequence

[AlanJ]

Is it possible to read a variable value from a Test Stand script and use it in the application. Specifically, I would like to read a Sequence File Global variable (which stores the script version) and display it in my application's About Box. I am using TestStand 3.0

Thanks,

AlanJ

Yes there are some TS functions and some LV VI's that do this. They are called get property value and set property value.

Hi Alan,

Some questions. I dont understand "Teststand script". Is this a running execution? What is your application ? Is this an external process or just a code module ? 

One hint on SequenceFile Globals: These variables are on present in one SequenceFile. If you open an other SequneceFile they are looking (if not copied) different and have no relations between them.

Hi juergen,

By "Teststand script" I mean a sequence. My application is a VB.NET GUI, based on the TestStand .NET example for TestStand 3.0.

Joe and juergen,

I found a solution. The following two lines of code (in Sub axApplicationMgr_DisplaySequenceFile):

Dim seqVersion As String = seq.SequenceFile.FileGlobalsDefaultValues.GetValString("VERSION", 0)

MessageBox.Show("Seq version: " & seqVersion)

Thanks for your help!
