Adding multiple numeric step test limits to a SequenceView control

[GeekGrok]

Hello,

    I would like to display, in a SequenceView control, the high and low limits, as well as the measurement data for each measurement taken in a mutliple numeric limit test step. I know this is easy to do for a single numeric limit test step. I was hoping someone may have already done this, or an example of how to do this is available.

   Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Thank you,

Jim

Jim,

The SequenceView control can be customized to show most anything related to the running sequence.  In order to define what information is being shown on the SequenceView control you will have to reference the Property Path to that property you want to display.  In particular, you are looking for the measurement, and high and low limits of the multiple numeric limit test.  You can find these properties at the following property paths, where * is the name of each measurement:

Step.Result.Measurement["*"].Limits.Low

Step.Result.Measurement["*"].Limits.High

Step.Result.Measurement["*"].Limits.Data

In order to assign these values to the columns in the SequenceView control, right click on the SequenceView control and go to SequenceView >> Properties....  In the TestStand UI SequenceView Control Properties window, click on the Columns tab.  In the Columns tab you can specify the information that will be displayed in each column.    Select the desired column, or create your own.  Set the Type drop down box to Expression and insert the Property Path of the value you want to be displayed.

Hello

I have a similar problem what was the original question but answer doesn't work for me. I my GUI software Execution View Manager control Sequence View Control and I have to visualize Multiple Numeric Limit step with its all "subtests". This may sounds like basic basic staff but in practice I'm rounded like a giant wall. There is only one or two properties which are made for controlling connection between Manager and View Control objects.
NI already gave me "no can do" as an answer but I like to hear if someone has done or has an idea for round this problem and could show me a hole in the wall.

Thanks.

Pasi,

How do you want to visualize all the subtests in multiple numeric limit test?  Do you want to see them in your Sequence View control or are you trying to get the information into some other kind of visual control?  If you are trying to visualize your subtests in the Sequence View control the previous post will be able to help you. 

If, on the other hand, you want to present the data in another way you can use the properties I described in the previous post along with your Sequence Context to acquire the information using the Get Property Value VI.

Please let me know if either of these two options work for you.

Hello Santiago

What I'm looking for is that I have lot of Multiple Numeric Limit Test with a different amount of subtests. I made a suitable GUI from NI full feature example GUI. Now I need to show these multiple limit tests so that each subtest have own row like those would be different test steps, name, low and high limit, data, unit and status. Maybe also icon too.

In you first replay you add columns but rows keep same. If I put all subtests informations in the same row but different column, row would be too long to show in clear way.

Pasi and Santiago,

     I spoke with NI Support, and as Pasi mentioned, they told me it could not be done, unless you want to write yor own "sequence viewer" to display this information. In the mean time, I am entering a suggestion to NI so that perhaps they can add this feature in future releases of TestStand.

Regards,
