Retrieving teststand step type from labview

[D.Barr]

Hi

I am looking for help/advice about being able to read the type of step that has just been executed from labview. I am current using "Runstate.Step.StepType" and saving the result to a local variable that is being read from labview. The issue I have is the function does not return meaningful data. The function always returns "StepType, IID = {39B81800-2FE4-11D3-AFAC-006097B79EF5}" regardless of the type of step.

Does anyone know of another command that will return the type of step i.e. Numeric, multi Numeric, string or Boolean.

Many Thanks

Dave

See if this helps: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2738 

It uses TypeOf() function and then stores the step type in local varaible.
