Run a measurement from TestStand with measurement plug-ins.

Running a measurement from TestStand with measurement plug-ins requires the measurement service to be registered and available to the Measurement Plug-Ins discovery service.

To run a measurement from TestStand with measurement plug-ins, complete the following steps.

  1. Launch the TestStand Sequence Editor.
  2. Double-click Measurement in the Insertion Palette.
    A measurement step is added to the sequence.
  3. Select the new measurement step.
  4. Select the Configure Measurement tab.
  5. Select your measurement in the Measurement list.


    The measurement parameters appear in the Configure Measurement tab.
    If your measurement does not appear in the Measurement list, ensure that the measurement service is configured to start automatically or has been started manually. For more information, see:
    • Developing a Measurement Plug-In with LabVIEW
    • Developing a Measurement Plug-In with Python
    • Automatically Starting a Measurement Plug-In
  6. Review and modify the measurement parameters.
  7. Complete one of the following actions based on whether the measurement requires a pin map.
    Pin Map RequirementAction
    Required Configure the pin map. For more information, see Creating and Using Pin Maps.
