The best way to do this is to create a Labview program that uses a dialog box for number entry, then write the number to a text file. Then call this vi from TestStand. To try to do this in TestStand is not practical. In Labview you can check the input to see if it is a valid number, you can prompt for a filename, or check if the file exists, etc... This is what Labview is for. TestStand simply calls a sequence of vi's that do all the action.

I am actually doing the exact same thing.  I can now scan in a serial number and save it as a local variable.  However, when I run the sequence the prompt for input does not pop-up, it is minimized.  Therefore, I have to click on it to actually see the prompt.  Is there any way to get around this issue?  Thanks.

Check your vi properties.  Make sure the window appearance is not set to run minimized.
