Using Imported Specifications in TestStand

Once you map the parameters of specifications you import, you can use them to create steps in your sequence file.

  1. Navigate to the specification you want to map parameters for in the Specifications pane and click Select Measurement.
  2. Use the Measurement drop-down list to select the appropriate measurement plug-in or code module for your measurement.
    Note If you do not have an appropriate code module, you can create a VI or Python code module by clicking Create new... in the Measurement drop-down list.
  3. If you are mapping parameters for a measurement plug-in, map your conditions and specifications to parameters using the corresponding drop-down lists for each condition and specification.
  4. If you are mapping parameters for a VI code module, complete the following steps.
    1. If you select a LabVIEW project for your measurement, select the VI you want to map parameters for using the Select VI drop-down list.
      Note If you select a VI directly for your measurement, you do not need to use the Select VI drop-down list.
      Note You can only create new VI code modules through the drop-down list if you configured the LabVIEW adapter to use the LabVIEW Development Environment.
    2. Map your conditions and specifications to parameters using the corresponding drop-down lists for each condition and specification.
  5. If you are mapping parameters for a Python code module, complete the following steps.
    1. Select the function you want to map parameters for using the Select Function drop-down list.
      Note You can only create or load Python code modules if the Python adapter is configured.
    2. Map your conditions and specifications to parameters using the corresponding drop-down lists for each condition and specification.
  6. Once you have mapped your parameters, click Back, select your mapped specification from the list in the Specifications pane, and click Insert Step to create a step at the end of MainSequence your sequence file for obtaining the selected specification.
    Note If you do not create a step using Insert Step and your imported specifications, TestStand will not save your imported specifications and parameter mappings.
