Passing DAQmx Task Names

I am attempting to use my LV subVI's to send out my task names into a TestStand sequence. The idea is to get the subVI to find the task names within a subsequence and use them throughout other subsequences. However, when I run my sequence I get an error code -200088, and when I probe for the value I don't see any value for my parameters being passed. Any ideas of how to pass DAQmx task names within TestStand (my LV programs run fine in a LV sequence)?

In the past, I have just used strings to pass between TestStand and LabVIEW.  But I found that using Action Engines is a much better way to go.

I am new to TS and I am not really familiar with the environment. Could you provide me of an example of how I would do this? I have tried using the action command, but my Task Name is not appearing when I probe for some reason.

Thank you for your response!

I cannot seem to get it working for the life of me. I modifed some of the NI's support VI in order to get the DAQmx task names, however it doesn't appear to be working and this also seems to be the problem why I cannot get my Tasks in TestStand hence the casading -2000800 errors.

Am I missing something vitially important in my code here? I enter in my chasis and then the rest should follow...
