Playing Back Commands Sent to the Target

Use the Macro Player tool to review the commands that VeriStand sent to the target using the macro (.nivsmacro) file you recorded with the Macro Recorder tool.

Before you begin, verify that you have the tool in your Workspace Tools menu. If you do not, refer to Adding a Standard or Custom Tools Menu Item.
Note You can also use the Macro Player VIs to access the Macro Player and play back macro files programmatically from LabVIEW. Use the Execution API to access the Macro Player from any .NET-compatible programming language.
