Using TestStand API Engine to programatically set watch expressions?

[Mark_Gillespie]

I would like to auto populate the Watch Expression window when I start a sequence. This would allow the test developer to set up a list of variables once and have them available all the time, for troubleshooting. I see references in Test Stand help to insert, remove, clear, etc, but I haven't been able to figure out how to access them. Getwatchexpressions is all I can find, so far. I have looked in TS 3.5 and 4.

Hi Mark,

you can use "Engine.GetWatchExpressions" method to get a watch expression list first. The "WatchExpressions.Insert" method adds a new watch expression to the collection and returns the new object, specify the expression for the new watch expression using "WatchExpression.Expression" property.

Hope that  may help.

That was the hint that I needed. I am attaching a simple sequence that populates a watch expression. May be useful for others.
