Passing File Globals from Teststand to Labview and vice versa

[Programming_beginner]

Hello! I am new to TestStand API. What does it mean exactly?

I can call a labview module, but I am not sure how to I pass fileglobals in general. I want to adjust the fileglobals (control) and it sends this variable back to the NI teststand as a fileglobal. Any ideas?

Not sure I understand your question.

If you want to pass a TestStand File Global to LabVIEW, and change value in LabVIEW, and pass it back to TestStand, that's no difference to pass a local variable to LabVIEW.

If you want to change the TestStand File Global inside LabVIEW, then you need TestStand API.  There are many examples comes with TestStand.  In TestStand, from menu bar, Help => Find Examples...

in the popup window, just search API.
