scripting in LabVIEW

[ethen99]

yes I can say it is exactly like TestStand. So now is there anyway to write script and implement it in TestStand. Does TestStand an sceripting langugue to define actions and test isnetad of manually add them to the sequence?

Well, certainly!  The product that does this is called the TestStand sequence editor.  You could write your own but it would be very time consuming.

There is also a new kit available on the tools network called the PTP_Sequencer that may allow you to sequence and loop predefined Test (Elements) which has a very simpler interface (but nowhere near the power) of TestStand.

Neither of these options allow you to avoid coding the modules that they call and, requiring that your users understand what a Module, TestDirector, Tenor or Test(Element) defines. (Using the terms from TestStand, TEMPO, the JJB ATS and PTP Sequencer respectively) It all depends on what features your team needs and is comfortable learning how to use.

it is not still very clear to me. 

Let's ay we have the following test steps in TestStand

Action A

Action B

Wait

Numeric Test A

String Test B

You say instead of adding them to a sequence I can use a text based language to link the text file to a sequence and follow the sequence of tests from there?

Is it true?

Is there any example that I can follow?

HI Darin.K

what do you think about LuaVIEW ? Which is the results of your experience?

Thanks
