Can I desplay numeric results as a sequence is running?

The default sequence display just shows pass/fail.  I would like to show the numeric results to the operator as the test is running.  What I would like to do is to build a long string with one line per test, and display this string as it gets built.  Is this possible using the custom UI?

Yes you will have to customize the UI.  There is a ton of stuff on NI's website regarding this.  You need to look for UIMessage.  Here are some sites to get you started:

https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/08/teststand-user-interface-development-bes...  Look under the Communication from the Test to the User Interface section

https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/teststand/page/handling-ui-messages.html  This is also in the help

 

If you dig around you'll find more.  The idea is that from your sequence you post a message with information.  Then once the message gets posted your UI will pick it up as an event and you create some sort of handler to either display or utilize that data.  The tricky part is creating the handler.  I believe in some of the course material there was exercises that did just this.
