How do I use a Labview Enum as a Variable Parameter for Teststant

I have a Labview VI that performs a relay setup based on a Port selection that is an Enumerated  Type Def. The Control comes in as a drop dwon box in test stand. The question is how can I use that same dropdown as a variable to pass into a subsequence. I am not sure how to get it to show up as a custom  Type in test stand. I am using Labview 8.2 and Test Stand 4.0
Thanks,

As of TestStand 2010 there is not a way to natively create enums in TS.  A quick google or bing search using "TestStand Enum" should reveal all those who have tried before you.  I believe that in the Ideas Exchange there is already a note to have TS do this and I'm positive the TS developers are aware...
In answer to your question you will have to save it as a numeric and pass it down to the sequence.  Or I kinda like this idea:

    The icon editor at least up to version 7.0 of LabVIEW is not written as
    VI but directly implemented inside LabVIEW, which is written in C/C++.

  • How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

    How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
    the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
    the TV: LG Smart tv

    The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
    You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
    The times when the query is sent are:
    • at Startup
    • at wake from sleep
    • when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
    • when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

    Sure wish I was more patient. What I ended up doing was temporarily reactivating the phone since I knew it worked after I initially stopped using it. I downloaded the apps I wanted then I turned it off and reactivated my iphone. All appears to be well but I will file your instructions away for possible future reference. Thanks a bunch!

    See if this works to bypass the activation screen: On the Welcome screen with the 'touch the Android to begin' icon, tap each of the four corners of the screen, starting with the top left, i.e.:- Tap the top left corner of the screen, then- Tap the top right corner of the screen, then- Tap the bottom right corner of the screen (just above the grey bar), then- Tap the bottom left corner of the screen (just above the grey bar) Wait a few seconds and you should see the home screen

  • How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera RAW on jpeg files?

    How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera raw on other files types? The HLS controls had the secondary color adjustments (6 colors instead of the 3). Plus, it had same vibrancy and a better Curves interface. Yesterday was the first time I imported raw into Photoshop CS5 and I got that really cool interface. What is that? Can I use that on other file formats?

    Actually I am using the Tradional Chinese Version, when I try to edit the jpg file with camera raw, the system shows that there is no camera raw plug-in. The cmaera raw never work.

    That's exactly what I tried to do, but the iPhoto librry doesn't show up in the pulldown menu. If I click "Choose Folder", the iPhoto library is greyed out and unable to be selected.
    For some reason, iPhoto is an option in the pulldown library on my older iMac but not on my MacBook Pro. What gives?

  • How do I use the new Airport Express as an extender for a non-Apple router?

    We have an "Arris" router in our house and are thinking of buying an Airport Express to extend the internet. How can we use the Airport express as a repeater on a non-Apple router without having to use millions of ethernet cables?

    Apple designed their "extend a wireless network" to only work with other Apple routers wirelessly, so it would be extremely unlikely like it would work with an Arris wireless router.
    Your best bet is to always use products from the same manufacturer if you need this type of feature on your network to insure compatibility.
    If Arris does not offer a product for this purpose, a "universal" extender like the Netgear device linked below might be able to do what you want. It was not "universal" enough to extend an Apple network when I tested a device recently.

  • How do i filter the records in analytic view by using variable/parameter for a time range

    i have a analytic view which has a output column as date type. i want the user who use this view have the control to decided the output records based on a time range (from x to y).
    i tried to create 2 variables, 1 for start_time, 1 for end_time. Ideally, i should have a expression for filtering data like this:
    $$start_time <= date_column <= $$end_time
    However, the variable windows doesn't seem to be feasible for the expression as above.
    Does anyone has the same problem and get it solved?
    Thanks!

    just figured out by my own. So the answer is using "variable" with "range" option.
    Making a variable, then set the "selection type" to "range".
    When preview the data, the variable input window pops up with operator on default "equal", use dropdown list to swtich it to "between", then you can enter the start_time and end_time as a range filter.

  • How do I use a LabView example (?

    Hi, I need to control a Tektronix AFG3022 function generator with LabView to do basic instructions such as change Frequency, Amplitude, and offset. I downloaded a driver for the funtion generator, and it came with an example that seems to fit my requirements perfectly. I just dont know how to use it.

    You are free to use or abuse it as you want. Is the problem that it is not working. Do it have a broken arrow? Or is it something else
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

  • How do I use a LabView control element as ActiveX Control in another application?

    I am was trying to include some simple ActiveX Controls(sliders, buttons) in my VBScript. It worked with other ActiveX Components from the web, however I wasn't able to include the LabView ActiveX Controls because I was missing the necessary IDs. Moreover I was able to test the LabView control by inserting it into the VC++- Test Container. But I still can't find the necessary IDs...

    I don't believe that any of the LabVIEW controls (except for 3D Graphs) are ActiveX controls so I'm not sure what control you were able to insert into the VC++ container. What's the exact name of the control? NI does have ActiveX controls that are part of Measurment Studio so maybe it's one of those that you're using?
