What are Thread.RunTimeVariables?Primary Software: TestStandPrimary Software Version: 3.0 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software:
Problem: What are Thread.RunTimeVariables and how can I use them? Solution: In TestStand 3.0 there is a new RunTimeVariables property in the Thread and Execution classes. These properties are an extension of the Engine.TemporaryGlobals concept in TestStand 2.0.x , with the added benefit that they can exist only for the currently running thread or execution. Thread-specific variables add another tool to the environment for programmers needing to manage data for multiple threads and can be used in addition to TestStand's local variables, sequence file global variables, and station global variables as a way of retaining data during an execution and then disposing of it when it is no longer useful. The Thread.RunTimeVariables and Execution.RunTimeVariables properties can be manipulated like any other PropertyObject with the API methods GetVal___() and SetVal___(). Like Engine.TemporaryGlobals, they are not accessible through TestStand expression statements nor can they be browsed for in the Expression Browser dialog box.
