Creating numeric limit step types

[Paulo07]

Hello,

I'm new in TestStand and I'm trying to create my own step types.
Right now I need a step type that reads the voltage from one channel on my MIO board and reads one Digital IO from my DIO board.
I was able to create one step type - run VI and EDIT VI (to choose the channel), but my problem is that my step type is not a numeric step type (so it is not returning a value) and I don't know how to change it!
1. Are there these kind of step types (DAQ) available anywhere?
2. How do I set the type of my step type (I think the ones I'm creating are allways action step types and not tests)?

Thanks ahead!

Hi,

The easies why to create your NumericLimit type is to select your step type and right mouse click and select create useing then select the NumericLimit type.
This will create a new step type combining your step type with a Numeric Limit step type.
Before you start just rename your step type to someother name by just appending "_1". Then when the new combined step type is created. You can then rename this step type to your original name and easily delete your "_1" named step type.

Hope this helps
