StationGlobals across multiple clients

[nakuru]

One more question :  If all 4 clients are trying to write or read the variable at the same time, is that going to cause any problems? Is this process managed by Teststand?

[snowpunter]

It is managed by TestStand but you'll still need to be aware of the risks of having multiple threads/executions accessing shared data. Perhaps you could use seperate variables for each client rather than trying to share data across all clients...

StationGlobals is intended to cover any Station requirements that need to be shared between multiple test clients running in a single TestStand application and that only one TestStand application runs on a system.

It sounds like you are running multiple TestStand applications on a single system. Is this correct?

[nakuru]

Yes, I could do that, but it would involve more changes to my code, which I am trying to minimize to meet my deadline.

No, I am just running one Teststand sequence, but 4 instances of it.  Each instance is used to test the same type of DUT.  I was just wondering if there is any way to access the the StationGlobals value modified in one instance by the other instances during run-time, without having to re-load all the StationGlobal variables.  Is there any way to reload a specific StationGlobal variable at run-time?
