Hello,
I have inherited some code at work which is functional, but rather cumbersome.
During a test operation, some 30 items are tested, with results stored in local variables.
When the testing is complete, a Vi captures all these variables and creates a concatenated string.
That string is sent to a .cvs file and processed in Excel, which is not the issue.
This is the issue.
If the product fails, a 'tag' is printed out ( literally a tag, a 2"x3" sticky backed label).
The current process is simply to take the concatenated string, send it to a comment field on the front panel, then do a print screen.
There are no headers, no indication of pass / fail per specific tests - simply a string containing values seperated by commas.
Of course I intend to restructure the process, but I have higher priorities over the next several months.
Can anyone suggest a 'down and dirty' method to a) attach headers to the data and b) affect the text based on pass/fail.
In other words - a string which now looks like this "8.9.08,555,1.47,5.1"
Would now look like - "Date: 8.9.08, PN: 555, TOF: 1.47, Voltage: 5.1"
with the bold text indicating the part failed the Voltage test.
I could simply insert headers into the current concatenated string, but the screen is already JAMMED full of
items. I'm hoping there is another option.
Thank you for any suggestions
Alan
