Hi,

You would use these step type to interface to the methods and properties of an activex/com object.
Tpyically you would use this step type to interface with the TestStand API methods and properties. Also code generated using Visual Basic.

There is a couple of articles (application notes) here that maybe helpful.

Within the TestStand\examples folders and on the NI website are examples using the ActiveX/COM adapter

Hi,

I know you can interface with matlab using labview and therefore you could use the LabVIEW adapter instead of the ActiveX/COM adapter.

Dont know if you can directly interface with matlab from TestStand.

Hi,
Just had a look at the Matlab website here, there is a Matlab builder for COM.

Therefore its possible you maybe able to interface direct from teststand via the ActiveX/COM adapter.
