<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi Bakkertje.</p> <p>If you want to use variables in input fields of the test action you have to use the placeholder syntax. There are only a few special input fields which accept the name of a parameter without the curly brackets.</p> <p>In your case you have to write the following text: {$GLOBALS.iTimeout}</p> <p><strong>Important:</strong> Global variables of the parent test script are not available in the "REMOTE CALL"-ed test script.</p> <p>BR<br/> Martin</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi All,</p> <p>How can I use a Global Constant as timeout value in Test Script?<br/> I have a Test Action, with a TestManager.Monitoring CompareVariable command and there I must specify a Timeout value. This value is different when I test on the Hardware or on the SoftPLC.<br/> Now I set "$GLOBALS.iTimeout" which I set as Assignment at top of the Test script.<br/> But when the test run I get the error: "Required parameter should be a value of an integer type"</p> <p>The next software is used: Codesys V3.5 SP7 Patch 2 and Test Manager 4.0.1.1.</p></div>
