Using TestStand API and Labview

[jaoachen]

For Teststand, using labview, I found a VI that will list all steps in top-level sequence and let me skip a step during runtime.

I am trying to do the samething for steps in sequence calls in my top-level sequence.

So if I have two steps in my top-level that are sequence calls and each sub-sequence has three steps, I want a list of all sub-sequence steps and top-level steps and the ability to skip anyone of them.


And, is there any good books or pdf's on using TestStands API and/or TestStand User Interface Controls? And I am talking about "TestStand User Interface for Dummies" kind of book.

I saw that TestStand API poster. It help a little. It didn't tell me how to get the name of steps in a sequences called by my main sequence.

It is almost like I want to convert the step reference in my main sequence to a sequence reference, and then use "GetStep" and "Name" porperties to get the names of the steps in my sub-sequence. But it doesn't work.

Available TestStand API Resources: In the TestStand API, many objects reference other types of objects. From an object of one class, you can get an object of another class. For example, you can get a reference to the Engine, Thread, Execution, and Report objects from the SequenceContext object. In another example, a UIMessage object references an Execution object, and an Execution object references a SequenceFile object. Thank you Nandini Subramaniam NI

Whether this Teststand Api is used to assign thread and could able to see the sequence of execution .

Can used to change the sequence of execution in Labview..
