Hello,
I am looking to modify a VI such that I can add this into a TestStand Sequence and have access to a drop-down list based on information from a spreadsheet. A very simplistic example of what I'll be using this for, is having a spreadsheet that includes rows with unique: User Names, User IDs, User Station locations, etc.
I want to add this VI into a TestStand sequence and have the ability to select from a drop down list of all User Names, prior to running the TS seq. Based on which User Name is selected I will pass along the User IDs in the background. User Names might be the same, so that will also need to be considered, since I am using the index of the selected name to dump out other contents.
I know how to do this by having a VI come up during TS execution and read in from a spreadsheet, but this is not an ideal case for the implementation that I am going for. Ideally I can programatically create the VI, but this might be tricky since I will need to either preconfigure the control/indicators/tunnelling and somehow update contents then save the VI with the new contents somehow.
Another, potentially easier approach might be if it is possible to somehow fill/update + save a TypeDef or Enum w/in a VI with contents from a spreadsheet. I could just create a an enumerated list for each item like User Name, User ID, etc.
Any advice on this approach would be appreciated. Thanks.
