Indexes Corresponding to the TestStand Module Adapters

Primary Software: TestStand
Primary Software Version: 3.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem: In order to get an Adapter object, I need to call the Engine.GetAdapter method and pass a zero-based index to specify the Adapter object for which I want to obtain a reference. However, the TestStand Help does not have a list of the indexes corresponding to the TestStand module adapters. How can I get this list?

Solution: The index corresponding to a particular adapter depends on the available module adapters. The list of available module adapters may differ from one version of TestStand to another. The following is a list of indexes corresponding to the available module adapters in TestStand 3.0 and TestStand 2.x:

In TestStand 3.0:
0 = G Flexible VI Adapter
1 = C/CVI Flexible Prototype Adapter
2 = DLL Flexible Prototype Adapter
3 = DotNet Adapter
4 = Automation Adapter
5 = HTBasic Adapter
6 = Sequence Adapter
7 = None Adapter

In TestStand 2.x:
0 = Automation Adapter
1 = C/CVI Std Prototype Adapter
2 = DLL Flexible Prototype Adapter
3 = G Std Prototype Adapter
4 = HTBasic Adapter
5 = None Adapter
6 = Sequence Adapter

You can get the correct list for your version of TestStand by invoking the following TestStand API methods/properties:
Engine.NumAdapters
Engine.GetAdapter
Adapter.KeyName

The attached sequence files show how to use the above properties/methods and display a message popup dialog box showing a list of the available adapters with their corresponding index. Download the sequence file corresponding to the version of TestStand that you have and run the MainSequence.
