On the LabVIEW Module tab, select Property Node Call from the Call Type ring control and click the Configure Settings for Property Node button to launch the Configure Property Node dialog box, which you can use to configure the Property Node call .

Note You must configure a Property Node call before adding it to a sequence in order for TestStand to load the sequence. Property Node calls that are not properly configured will also generate warnings when you attempt to deploy the sequence.

The Configure Property Node dialog box contains the following options:

• Project Path —The path of the LabVIEW project the step uses. The control contains a most recently used (MRU) list of the last five selected LabVIEW projects. Specifying a LabVIEW project is optional.
• Property Node Type —Specifies the I/O Reference type. Select LabVIEW Class as the I/O Reference type to enable the LabVIEW Class Path control.
  Note Modifying the Property Node Type control clears any previously selected properties.
• Create LabVIEW Project —Creates an empty LabVIEW project. If the LabVIEW project you specify does not already exist, the LabVIEW Adapter creates it. If the file already exists, the LabVIEW Adapter prompts you to overwrite the existing file.
• Edit LabVIEW Project —Edits an existing LabVIEW project.
• Edit LabVIEW Class —Edits an existing LabVIEW class.
• Property Node Class —Specifies the I/O Reference class.
• Use Data Value Reference (DVR) —When you enable this control, the property call uses a LabVIEW class in a DVR instead of the LabVIEW class. This option is only available when you select a LabVIEW class.
• Ignore internal Property Node errors —When you enable this option, the Property Node continues processing the remaining properties of the Property Node if it encounters an error while accessing one of these properties.
• Available Properties —Enter a search string to filter the Available Properties list. TestStand displays only the properties which contain the string.
• Available Properties List —Lists the properties available for the currently selected I/O Reference type or LabVIEW class.
• Selected Properties —Lists the selected properties.
  Note LabVIEW allows a maximum of 24 properties in one Property Node step.
  • Property Icon —Selects a property row without activating the controls in the list.
  • Property Name —Specifies the name of the property.
  • Direction — Specifies the direction of the property. Possible values include In and Out . Some properties may also support the Default direction.
• Add to Selected Properties —Moves the properties selected in the Available Properties list to the bottom of the Selected Properties list. Selected properties use the In direction by default, unless the selected properties are read-only.
• Add Next property —When you have selected a property in the Selected Properties list, click Add Next Property to move the next property in the Available Properties list to the Selected Properties list. The newly added property appears in the list immediately after the selected property. If no properties are selected in either the Available Properties or Selected Properties lists, TestStand moves the first property in the Available Properties list to the end of the Selected Properties list. If you select an item in the Available Properties list, TestStand moves that property from the Available Properties list to the end of the Selected Properties list. The Add Next control is enabled by default. TestStand disables the control if there are no available properties to select.
  Note You can use the Search text box to filter the list of available properties. However, the Add Next Property control uses the full, unfiltered list of available properties to determine the order in which to add properties to the Selected Properties list.
• Remove from Selected Properties —Removes the properties selected in the Selected Properties list.
• Move Selected Properties Up —Moves all selected properties higher in the Selected Properties list.
• Move Selected Properties Down —Moves all selected properties lower in the Selected Properties list.
• Description for —Displays the LabVIEW description of the first selected property in the Available Properties list or the Selected Properties list.
• LabVIEW VI Help —Launches the LabVIEW help topic for the selected property.
• OK —Saves the selected configuration to the step and creates the Property Node Call VI.
• Cancel —Closes the Configure Property Node dialog box and discards any unsaved changes.
