How to create tags from TestStand

[nandiouioui]

I'm a french student so please don't mind my language mistakes. It might be easy but I'm a newbie, I want to create tags using TestStand. My tags would retrieve the UUT SerialNumber, the running state, the number of passed tests, and other variables I have not decided yet.

I tried to figure out how the TestMonitor interfaced with TestStand and found NI_TestMonitorClient.seq but it's in .NET so I'm stuck, can you please help me?

If you have the SystemLink Client installed on your test system, you can simply enable the SystemLink Reporting plugin and it will automatically publish a tag with the current status, which includes properties for the UUT and other attributes.

Thank you, but I would like to use them on the Dashboard builder

There currently isn't a way to directly publish tags from TestStand that I'm aware of, however you can use the ones that are generated out of the box to create a dashboard like the following.

In addition, you can create a LabVIEW VI that publishes tags, which you could then easily call from TestStand to publish additional tags.
