Enhancements

  • Initial release of limited-scope Scripting API (see below)

Bug Fixes

  • Error dialog now appears when attempting to add a local chassis twice #103

Scripting API

Initial Release Scope

This release introduces a Scripting API for the Custom Device. It is of limited scope, only providing operations for configuring C Series modules in a local chassis. Only a small subset of modules supported by the Custom Device are configurable via the Scripting API. Current high level actions include:

  • Add/remove/find the Custom Device and Local Chassis
  • Set Custom Device and chassis properties
  • Create or read module information per slot

Module Support

This is a list of modules supported by the Scripting API. Note that not all modules are supported in every configuration, such as Digital Input modules not supporting Specialty Digital configurations.
9212, 9213, 9224, 9225, 9227, 9228, 9375, 9422, 9423, 9437, 9474, 9475, 9482

Example VIs

An example project and VIs showing how to use the Scripting API can be found on disk at the path below. The LabVIEW Examples package must be installed to use them.
<Program Files (x86)>\National Instruments\LabVIEW 20xx\examples\NI VeriStand Custom Devices\Scan Engine\Scan Engine Scripting Examples.lvproj
