Step Types & FileGlobals

[tomas89]

Hello,

I woul like to ask you about creating custom step types with the value FileGlobals.

I have crated a variable in cattegory FileGlobas. And then I crated new custom step types and in the tab "Edit LabVIEW VI Call" I want to put to the value the reference "FileGlobal...." And Teststand shows error: "Unknown variable or property name".

I am using teststand only evaluation version 2017.

The same sequence is working correctly in colleague's PC wiht older version of teststand.

Thank you for help

Is there a particular reason you want to tie it to a FileGlobal?  Typically it is a bad idea to tie your step types to any sort of variable.  The problem is that if you were to copy this step to another sequence file you'd need to remember to bring along the FileGlobal.  It just makes a mess of everything.  Why can't you use a step property?
