Global for Custom Step type

[Vipin@AMP]

Hi All,

Can we use LabVIEW global variable or Function Global to pass data between two custom step type ?

For example:

I have a Custom step Type called Start Instrument , Where I m reading a file and storing the data into a global variable .

The second Custom step is Read Instrument ,where I should be able to get data from the global variable which I used in my Start Instrument Custom Step.

I tried this , but I think both step type are opening different global reference.

What is the preferred method without using TestStand Variable?

Hi Vipin,

The globals should work ( i have not tried with LV but used it in CVI).

The other option is write the value to a file...maybe ini file.

Is there a specific reason why you dont want to use the TS variable.
