Hi Anand

You could pass a UI Message from your running sequence to the User Interface,  here is a good starting point for learning about UI Messages, the link has an attached PDF that is useful.  I would advocate using UI Messages for your requirement as that is what they are for.

Alternatively; you can read the state of StationGlobals from the User Interface using the TestStand API.  From the ApplicationManager you can get a reference to the TestStand Engine, from there you can get a reference to the Station Globals, and from there you can read from (and write to) individual Station Globals by name.
