NI TestStand
Accessing custom step type when logging to database
I am struggling with several aspects of TestStand 2017, but a big one is how to access specific information associated with specific step types when logging to a database. I'm interacting with an Access database. For instance, a Multinumeric test has an array of results that I can access within TestStand expressions inside my step:
But when I try to use the expression in the "Value to Log" entry of a database element, I get "Unknown variable or property name".
Complete error message:
An error occurred calling 'LogResults' in 'ITSDBLog' of 'zNI TestStand Database Logging'
An error occurred while setting a column value.
Schema: CSM Test Schema
Statement: EncoderMultiRecordPoint2.
Column: PassFail
Unknown variable or property name 'Step.Result.Measurement'.
Source: TSDBLog
I'm hoping that once I understand the syntax to refer to a step-specific property like the Measurement array in a multi-numeric, I will be able to use similar syntax to access the custom data types I've created for my custom step types.

PS. If there's a reference that gets into the details of constructing database statements with the TestStand window, I'd love to hear about it.
