Add Data stored in locals to report with offline results processing

[CyGa]

Hi Raphael,

If understand well what you are trying to do is that you write into the offline files to perform the synchronisation in the DB when this one is available.

To me, this should happen in the test socket execution. So the Run.Root.Locals should work (so without doubling the Root).

However, I wonder if you set this process to be done in parallel with your execution. If so this might be the source of the problem.

Can you check in Configure -> Result Processing if your offline result processor is set to be done in parallel ?

If so, try setting it to be executed at the end of each socket execution.

Hi CyGa

offline processing is run only between 2-3 in the morning when there are no tests active. It is guaranteed to not run during the test.

The setup in teststand:

Thanks for the input,

The synchonisation tool runs at night. But the files are created each time you run a test socket.

Can you activate the 'Show more options' check box and send me a screen copy ?

When activated you should be able to set if that processor runs in parallel or not.

Hi CyGa

this one?

Thanks, Raphael

[CyGa]

Yes this one.

Set it to No, and re-test.

[raphael.wittwer]

Thanks, I set it to no and started the test, it will take until tomorrow to have the results. I will report results here

Hi CyGa

Unfortunately this didn't make the data appear neither in Parameters.UUT.AdditionalData.xy, Logging.UUT.AdditionalData.xy, Runstate.Root.Locals.xy and also not Runstate.Root.Root.Locals.xy.

Is there a browser for those files that teststand writes for the offline processing?

[CyGa]

Hi Raphael,

I'm not aware of such browser.

This doesn't mean it doesn't exist though.

I'm not sure to understand really what's happening here, and I'm not sure I fully understand your use case.

To me the offline file should be populated with all necessary values and their origin at the test time.

Then the synchronisation tool, when processing the files, should only read them and push the data back to the linked DB.

I don't understand why the tool is complaining about a missing variable : of course this variable is not availabe at processing time in TestStand. But it should be available within the offline file !

I'm afraid I can't help much... You should maybe contact NI's support !

Hi CyGa

I have scheduled a call with NI for tomorrow since I am working on this with support for a while. In the meantime I found yet another solution:

I am testing this at this moment and will update this thread with the status.

Thanks!

Hello Forum

it works!!

The missing piece of the puzzle was that the contents of RunState.Root.Locals.UUT.AdditionalData is moved to Logging.UUT.AdditionalData.

The data is written in a Statement in the main Sequence: RunState.Root.Locals.UUT.AdditionalData.SetValNumber("CMUVoltageDelta",1,Locals.CMUVoltageDelta)

And read in Offline Processing:

Logging.UUT.AdditionalData.CMUVoltageDelta

Thanks for all the help!
