GetSyncManager Method
Syntax
Engine.GetSyncManager ( syncObjectName)
Return Value
A pointer to the TestStand Synchronization Manager that is described by the Synchronization object name.
Purpose
Returns a top-level API for synchronizing with TestStand Synchronization objects.
Remarks
The TestStand Synchronization Manager is the API used by the Synchronization step types. The name of the Synchronization object passed to this function determines which Synchronization Manager to use—in process, out of process (used to share Synchronization objects between processes), or remote machine (used to share Synchronization objects across machines). For more information, refer to the NI TestStand Synchronization type library.
Parameters
syncObjectName As String
[In] Specifies the name of the Synchronization object for which the Synchronization Manager is needed. If the Synchronization object begins with an '*' (for example, *syncobjectname) or a machine name such as \\machinename\syncobjectname, a Synchronization Manager object corresponding to the machine in question is returned.
