The following tree shows the navigational hierarchy of the NI VeriStand System Definition API. The hierarchy of this tree corresponds to the hierarchy of XML tags that can appear in a system definition file. Use this tree to help determine how to programmatically access and configure various features of system definitions.
Note Classes marked with a star (*) are related to the class under which they appear, but are not directly called by a member of the higher class. You must downcast a higher-level object or use the constructor for the starred class to instantiate that class.
For each class below, click p to view the associated properties, m for methods, e for events, and f for fields.
