access to InBuf

[hurst]

I have an Action Step that has the 'testData and testError' arguments in the corresponding C-code. I want to pass a string in to the C-code module into the testData->inBuffer variable. I tried passing it in as 'Step.InBuf', which I saw somewhere (I don't remember where). But TestStand responded with:

Unknown variable or property 'InBuf'

What am I missing/or doing wrong?

Hi,

You would be right in doing what you did, if you had used one of the Test steps such as Pass/Fail or Numeric Limit Test step.

But unfortunately you used an Action Step which doesn't have the property InBuf.

If you right mouse click and select Open Tree View, Then you will be able to see what properties are available for the different step types.

I have a custom version of Action step that I added InBuf to and now it works fine.

Thanks
