programmatically reading VI called by labview adapter step.

I'm trying to build a utility sequence for teststand to replace a specific labview step with a subsequence call. This is meant to be placed into different sequence calls when needed, but i'm struggling to find a way to check if the labview step is calling a specific VI. Is there anything withing in the ActiveX/COM step that would help me do this?

Tip: go to Configure-Station Options- Preferences and check the Show Hidden Properties Option

 

This will give you full overview of step properties in the Property Browser of the Step Settings Pane

 

I think you are looking for the following Lookup String

Is there a way to get this info directly using the ActiveX step or do I just need to build this directly using an expression step?

After a brief look at the ActiveX steps available, I recommend using an expression, it’ll save you from traversing through several hierarchies
