Storing TD Instance Document Attributes in a Translated Sequence

ATML TD instance documents define attributes for most elements.

TestStand uses the NI.ATML.TDTranslator.ATMLAttributes namespace to store ATML TD attributes in the attributes of the TestStand construct, such as:

  • step
  • variable
  • sequence
  • sequence file
Use the Attributes dialog box in TestStand to view the attributes of a construct. Use the TestStand PropertyObject API to programmatically retrieve the attributes property associated with a TestStand construct.
Note You cannot use the SequenceCallModule.Parameters property of the TestStand API to return the attributes of module parameters of a step that uses the Sequence Adapter. Instead, you must get or set the parameter attributes on child variables of the TS.SData.ActualArgs variable of the step.
