UIMessage from Labview to Teststand

[MechUnit]

Hello Community,

How do you send a string from Labview to Teststand as a UIMessage?

I am able to send data as a UIMessage from a sequence file to Labview, but I am unsure how to do the reverse.

An unfinished UIMessage from Labview.

An action step showing the UIMessage as an input to Labview, but how do you set it up as an output from labview?

My purpose...

When the Labview GUI launches, the user selects a device.

When the user clicks start to run the sequence file, I want the sequence file to know which device the user selected and stored into a local or global variable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I came across an idea of using Sequence Context with the Teststand-Set Property Value.vi.

I know this is now somewhat a Teststand question, but how does one call the UI Message in Teststand to get the new value?

If you would have gone with the architecture I suggested the last time you asked this type of question, the sequence would have just sent a message asking for the value and gotten a response.

The first link resource was exactly what I was looking for
