TestStand defines a number of built-in properties that are always present for objects, such as steps and sequences. Nearly every kind of TestStand object has built-in properties that are static with respect to the TestStand API, which you can use to access the properties in the programming language you specify. Examples of built-in properties are the Sequence.Name property and the SequenceContext.Sequence property.

In LabVIEW, use the Property Node to access built-in properties. The block diagram in the following shows how to obtain the value of the Sequence.Name property.

The block diagram in the following figure shows how to obtain a reference to a step of a sequence that a Sequence object references.
