Generate/Read ATML TestResults Files using LabVIEW

[GollumGTH]

I've become very interested recently in saving all my test results into XML files.  Seems like the wise way to go about this would be to use the ATML standard (http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/scc20/tii/IEEE1636-1TestResults/TestResults.html#complexType_doubleAr...).  I know this standard is supported in TestStand but I was wondering if any tools exist that would make it easier to use in LabVIEW.  (I could write it from scratch using LabVIEW's built in XML VIs but I'm not very familiar with XML in general so this would be time consuming)

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi GollumGTH,

I don't find that there is anything built into labVIEW for using ATML, however LabVIEW does have some built in XML functions that you can use, such as: Flatten to XML and Write to XML File. Also, if you are interested in using XML with Excel this article may be useful for you:

Kaitlin,

Could you provide me an example ATML file produced using TestStand?  Specifically, I'd like to see how it handles arrays.  Thanks.

Hi GollumGTH,

Here is a picture of a the ATML report. Let me know if you have any questions.

Based on his question, I think a copy of the XML file itself would be of more value, since he would like to construct the file himself. The image does not show the structure of the data.

Hi GollumGTH,

Here is the file itself. Sorry for not sending it earlier.
