You can define custom step properties, sequence local variables, sequence file global variables, and station global variables that are dynamic with respect to the TestStand API. The TestStand API provides the PropertyObject class so you can access dynamic properties and variables in the programming language you use to create code modules. Instead of using defined constants, use lookup strings to identify specific properties by name.

Refer to the following examples for more information about accessing dynamic properties in specific development environments:

  • LabVIEW
  • LabWindows/CVI
  • Microsoft Visual Basic .NET
  • C#
  • Microsoft Visual C++/#import
