Rotary Table with 6 test stations. How to track the data results in each station in a rotary table machine with 6 test stations?

I would like to know if anybody as worked with rotary table testsystems and want to share an insight about how he dealt with tracking data results for each test result in all the test station contained in the rotary table, so at the end of the cycle get the right data results per each DUT. There is a kind of technique used with arrays or clusters?

Any comments would be appreciate.

i would use an array of clusters.  Clusters would be the test station results and array would be the individual units.  Simple process of just indexing to the right data element.  A cleaner implement would be to use object oriented if you are skilled with this type of code development.

Thanks a lot Matt for your reply, I will use arrray of cluster. I will take a look the object oriented approach too, later.

Hi shada

There are a lot of ways you can store your results, as Matthew commented you can use an array of Clusters. I would recomend storing this array of Clusters in a Functional Global Variable to make the data transfer more secure and easier to escalate. There are a lot of examples on how to use them on the community. 

There are some advance tools you can also use to store your Results like  Current Value Tables (CVT).

TestStand Parallel Model with "Result Processing" option enabled stores automátically all the results of your Tests. 

Hope this information is helpful.

Hi JuDa,

       Thanks, with the help of Matthew I utilized array of cluster, then I created a funcional global variable to read and write to it all the information without knowing if it was correct, now based on your comments I feel very confident that what I am doing, I am doing well, I appreciate your feedback and for sharing JuDa, thanks. I am veryy interested on CVT, I will take a look on this, your information has been very helpful.
