using a Teststand statement in LabVIEW

[ADL]

I want to be able to use the Seconds()expression from LabVIEW to obtain a time that has a relevance in the Teststand world.
I want to be able to reference the Teststand clock from LabVIEW to attatch time stamps to events that use the Teststand clock (Start of Teststand run), not the LabVIEW (since 1 Jan 1904) clock. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi ADL,

Is this what you are after. (see attached TS2.01f1 sequence file and LV6.1 VI)

Ray,

Thanks for your help, that solves my immediate problem.

The bigger picture question, was are we able to access the Statement Editor directly, e.g. sending a string statement to the engine, and getting a result back?

Hi,

Not sure I understand your question.

If you want to perform some method or function or query a property you can always use an API call using the ActiveX Adapter.
The example I supplied could have been an ActiveX Adapter calling the Engine object class and perform a Get Property.SecondsSinceStart.

Could you clarify what you are trying to achieve.

Hi ADL,

I think what you are after is the method PropertyObject.Evaluate. Have a look at the help.
