You can access the station globals from ApplicationMgr.GetEngine().Globals.

You can use PropertyObject methods via the Get Property Value and Set Property Value VIs to get and set variable values.  Display the values in whichever LabVIEW front panel control is most appropriate.

Note that there is no prebuilt control that replicates the tree/list view variable display in the sequence editor.

Thanks for your answer,

i have tried it, but i can`t connect the IApplicationMgr.GetEngine to Get Property Value and Set Property Value VIs. What is wrong? Can somebody send me some examples?

Thankyou

You can't use Get Property Value and Set Property Value VIs on the globals-object because the VIs are using the SequenceContext-object to set the values.

Instead use the Globals.SetValVariant and Globals.GetValVariant methods to get and set values in TestStand

Hi,
 
I  am new to test stand and I want to access the TestStand local and global variables from either the simple OI or full featured OI.  Attaching the Accesing Station Globals.vi file to my timeout case of event structure does not give any output. Is this code supposed to display the Last User Name on the front panel.
Any help with accessing the local/global variables will be greatly appereciated
