I need to drive NI TestStand from Python so that functional test sequences run hands-free and talk directly to my lab instruments. The goal is straightforward: when a DUT is dropped into the fixture, a single click (or even a CLI command) should launch TestStand, call the right Python modules, step through each functional test, log the results, and release the hardware for the next unit. Here is what I want delivered: • A set of well-structured Python scripts (Python 3.x) that expose clean functions TestStand can call for each step in the functional flow. • An example .seq file illustrating how the Python adapters are wired in, including pass/fail logic and result logging. • Connection code for the specific instruments on my bench (they support VISA; I usually talk to them through PyVISA, but I’m open to NI-VISA wrappers if that is smoother inside TestStand). • A concise read-me that lets a new engineer clone the repo, import the sequence, and run it without guesswork. Acceptance is simple: I will load your sequence on my TestStand station, point it at a real DUT, and watch it run end-to-end with no manual intervention other than the initial start. If the logs show the expected measurements and the hardware resets correctly, we are done. If you have already built Python adapters for TestStand or have tricks for speeding up instrument calls, tell me. The sooner we can hit “Run” and watch TestStand drive the entire functional test, the better.
