How to get teststand test socket from labview?

[domcorrado]

Hi, i have a sequence running with a parallel process model and i need to get the test socked number from a labview vi. Problem is i cant edit the VI pre-existing inputs so i cant use a sequence context to get the test socket variable from teststand. Is there another way i can do it?

Hi,

What are the current inputs that your vi has? I just want to see if there are any other objects of the TS API that you are currently passing to your vi and that you could use to read the number of sockets.

A workaround which is completely independent of the TestStand API and your vi inputs, could be sharing information from TestStand to your vi via UDP or some other protocol.

You would write this information in a code module within TestStand, and then you would read it from within the vi where you need the info. This is not a very clean way of getting the number of sockets, but as I said, it's a workaround.

Hope this helps.
