Can Multiple Numeric Limit Test Limits be listed vertically for Property Loader

[kewsvnet]

Hi,

I am trying to use the NI TestStand Property Loader with Multiple Numeric Limit tests. Some of these tests have over 50 numeric limits.

To use the property loader with multiple numeric limits each new limit would have to be a new comma separated value and therefore would create a very large number of columns. I was wondering if there is a way to define the index of the Multiple Numeric Limit test so that they can be listed vertically. I am attaching a CSV Property File of what I am talking about. This does not work although I am wondering if there is any way to acheive what I am after.

Regards

Kewal

Hi Kewal,

I think I understand what you are after but I'm having struggling to see where the difference is between the file you attached and the file created when running an example TestStand sequence. (All Programs>>National Instruments>>TestStand>>TestStand Examples>>Multiple Numeric Limit Test).

Generally the property loader is not for the user to look at. It is mainly used by TestStand itself. Is there a particular reason you need to view the file created by the property loader? If it is for the purpose of a report for you to look at maybe you could consider importing a step from labview that enables you to right to an excel file and transpose the array. This will swap the axis if that is what you are after. It will also open other doors with regards to creating a customised report.

Other than this I am can't really see a way of being able to reformat a file created by the property loaded.

In the file I created each numeric limit test is listed vertically for multiple numeric limit tests. This makes it easier to view the test limits in a nice list.

I am using the property file to modify the limits using Excel which is much quicker when dealing with a lot of limits.

I have ended up creating my own VI to read CSVs so that numeric limits for multiple numeric limits can be listed vertically for multiple numeric limit tests.
